Good movie. The acting is on point and it really recaptures the spirit and feeling of the original film. I do admit some points the script falls flat, but those points are few and far between. A definite must watch.

It still has an easy narrative, a bit of camp from the S. Sisters, the musical(s) number(s), and a good nostalgia, it doesn't have to be a complex film.

In my opinion, they did an amazing job of keeping the same sort of feel as the original (a bit campy, a bit 90s, etc.), while still making it feel like a modern-day Halloween film. I REALLY loved it and I'm very hopeful that they'll make a third installment!!!… Expand

It’s a big soup of nostalgia and I’m all here for it. Loved all about it, and the musical numbers are to die for.

Welcome back, Streamers! Halloween season is upon us and so is nostalgia. This weekend Disney+ released the long-awaited/no one asked for sequel to Hocus Pocus, Hocus Pocus 2. Now, you probably know that this movie follows three young womenWelcome back, Streamers! Halloween season is upon us and so is nostalgia. This weekend Disney+ released the long-awaited/no one asked for sequel to Hocus Pocus, Hocus Pocus 2. Now, you probably know that this movie follows three young women who 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. But really who lights the black candle again?!? Let's see how this goes.

Of course, Disney gave a lot of nostalgic moments to work with. Disney was like how can we get parents who grew up on this movie and their kids to relate? Oh, I got it bring back a franchise from 30 years ago. Let's see if this hits and maybe we can make another kind of reboot movie. That's what we have here. We have Better Midler doing Bette Midler things as she did 30 years ago. Parker and Najimy doing the same thing but the sisters, even though similar to back then, have gained a new sense of self in the grave to match the sentiments of today's culture. Our young folks in this really didn't give us life like the original cast. I feel it may have been the writing that didn't really make them interesting or funny as compared to the first movie. HOWEVER, the real stars of this movie were the young versions of the Sanderson Sisters. The movie starts off so well with them that it's almost impossible to not enjoy the movie from that point on. Shoot, I'd almost watch a whole movie of the adventures of the young Sanderson Sisters. DO YOU HEAR THAT DISNEY?!

Long incantation short, this overdue sequel while losing some of its original magic still has the juice. Hocus Pocus 2 is a fun movie that lacks some creativity and originality. The nostalgia abounds and most likely Disney may be setting up some more for the future. Families should grab a bowl of popcorn and watch this cult classic sequel to begin their streaming Halloween movie season.… Expand

I think teenagers probably could’ve created a better storyline. And much of the film felt low-budget. More like a Disney Channel Original Movie than a Hollywood sequel. I think the creators also relied way too much on CGI over practical effects, and that was part of the reason this movie was missing that same spooky atmosphere from the first one (most scenes were filmed inside a badly decorated studio). Disney has gotten terrible at making movies. But that said, the Sanderson Sisters were the saving grace of this sequel. I was so afraid they wouldn’t be able able to capture the same “magic”, mannerisms, & quirks of their characters from the original. Seems like more & more sequels & remakes are getting phoned-in by the actors. But I couldn’t have been more wrong about this one. They were spot-on true to their characters. You could see how much fun Bette Midler, SJP, & Kathy Najimy had returning to play them, and it really rubs off on the audience. Is it better than the first one? No. But it’s also not a bad movie. Far from it! And definitely worth watching if you loved the original.… Expand

We watched the first one followed by the second. In terms of the sequel, it was better than most and carried a lighthearted message. I think they did a great job overall, and captured the humor of the first with great messaging behind it.We watched the first one followed by the second.

Not a patch on the original but sequels never are! Enjoyable campy fun. Trio of witches are brilliant. Lacks the scary element for 1st film. 7/10

The sequel served its purpose quite well with an excellent storyline, entertainment value, comedy, and a backstory that didn't throw off the plot line.

But almost 30 years passed, the way of making movies changed too much, and more at Disney. And it clearly doesn't have that adult comedy with a hint of horror from the original. Not to mention the address which is different. But, I think the movie has many things to salvage: I found the prologue incredible, and the girls who played the young Sanderson sisters did an excellent job. The setting is quite good, the musical numbers, although somewhat disconnected from the plot, were entertaining. And the Sanderson sisters are taking over the show again. Instead of living off a style of movie that is clearly not going to come back, let's appreciate that they gave us a product that, although it doesn't live up to the original, is quite nostalgic and deserves at least to be given the opportunity.… Expand

Its pretty much what you might expect - family friendly, mildly spooky on ocassion and with some amusing modern references and decent dialogue at times. I wasn't convinced the plot was entirely original but it's still relatively watchable and I imagine youngish kids would enjoy it for the most part. It's not exactly a scary film or a Harry Potter type watch but its got its moments I guess. I wouldn't exactly recommend it over many other films as such though, no. An ok film that will be enjoyed by some but not all.… Expand
