Review of Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) by Alexhehe — 01 Oct 2022
The movie starts out strong with a bit of backstory on the sisters. Absolutely loved that aspect of the movie. The acting was good and the new characters rocked it. I wanted to give this movie a better rating, but I can't.
As soon as the mayor comes on screen it starts to feel lazy. It feels like they slapped it together as quick as possible. The storyline lacks originality and overall the movie felt empty. Yeah the original was corny as hell but it was fun and hilarious.
There was so much potential for the sequel to be a powerful comeback story. The amount of call backs to the original movie is overwhelming and distracting from the storyline. It pulls you out of the movie and back to reality.
The musical numbers made me feel like I was watching a Broadway musical rather than witches casting spells and flexing their musical power. I was disappointed because I went in thinking that this movie was going to be insanely enjoyable, funny, spooky and ended up just waiting for it to be over.
