Hocus Pocus 2 (2022)
6/10
Bette, Kathy, SJP and the special effects delivers, but that's about it

So I went into this with low expectations as I knew it would never live up to the original, despite the main three actors coming back. And I was right. The sisters are still good and it was fun to see more of their backstory and childhood, and the special effects were great. But, after that we get the new characters and the new story...

The story is hardly there, and none of the new characters left an impact or where really likeable (there's pretty much no backstory or character development) so it's pretty hollow, and there's less comedy in this than the first one.

Fun to see the sisters again, but definitely won't be a reoccuring Halloween rewatch like the original. I did really like the ending tho, it was nice. Biggest disappointment is that they couldn't live up to the first's musical numbers. The group song is good, but Sarah doesn't even sing her Come little children song, and that was very sad cause it's my favorite part of the first one.
