It had a few great moments but it was certainly not as good as the original. And while that may be The Sanderson sisters and Mr. Traske did breathe life into it.
I actually lost my composure and belly laughed when it came to Mr. Traske. He was so dumb but entertaining to watch. His parts were some of the best in the movie. His actor is Tony Hale which will make note of for future reference.
I really thing the movie struggled when it came to the girls. Becca wasn't someone all that likeable. She was at times too passive but toward the end as she took the lead with the girls it somewhat reedemed itself.
The end was quite interesting since it's something I enjoy. Gives you space for theories:
1: The Supreme witch that gifted the Sanderson sisters with the book was alive but weirdly never made an appearance but we saw the bird that was her watching the girls.
2: The book was evil, why would Becca and the girls keep it?
3: The Cat more than likely could be Thackery Binx since it was getting close to another black candle. But didn't Gilbert say he wasn't going to mess with more candles?
4: Becca and the girls are obviously a new coven like the Sanderson sisters by the way they were walking but how could they be good witches? Impossible. In all the time there have been witches they have been evil and have sucked the souls from children.
Seems like Hocus Pocus 2 was really trying to set up a Hocus Pocus 3.
