Hocus Pocus 2 Movie Review (with Spoilers & Theories)

 

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.

A Movie Review—Hocus Pocus 2

Director: Anne Fletcher  Writers: David Kirschner, Blake Harris

IMDb overview: Three young women accidentally bring back the Sanderson sisters to modern day Salem and must figure out how to stop the child-hungry witches from wreaking havoc on the world.

Hocus Pocus is a Halloween classic that most people at least in the USA know about. While it is seen as a classic today it wasn't always like that since when it originally released in 1993 it was seen as a flop or at least nothing to talk about. After a few re-runs on TV mostly by Disney and ABC Family it gained life with people growing up in the 2000s who really enjoyed its old-timey feel and older generation appeal. You could watch it and it would give you that older time vibe.

For us to get a Hocus Pocus 2 movie is actually quite unimaginable given how many years it had been since the first one's release. So much so I myself can't believe it.

And while there are many fans of Hocus Pocus it is important for them to realize the original was never a cinematic masterpiece. Hocus Pocus was a cheesy, albeit fun Halloween comedy movie with no grand aspirations.
