Hocus Pocus is perhaps one of the most well known child friendly horror movies out there with the film becoming somewhat of a cult classic. Even so it's taken Disney nearly thirty years to produce a sequel this is despite the fact that all three of it's main leads have made it known since 2009 they' be up to make another one together and well then that sequel is now finally here and so then join me as I review the film that is perhaps the most well hyped up Disney film of this year with the film in question being called simply just "Hocus Pocus 2" enjoy.
The plot of this film is to friends accidently bring back the infamous Sanderson Sisters and have to defeat them for good before they enact there latest plan on killing the towns Mayor. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad altho it did kind of follow the exact same plot beats of the first film which isn't a good thing at all whatsoever in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Bette Midler as Winifred "Winnie" Sanderson , Kathy Najimy as Mary Sanderson and Sarah Jessica Parker as Sarah Sanderson. Also starring in this film is Doug Jones as Billy Butcherson , Whitney Peak as Becca , Lilia Buckingham as Cassie Traske , Belissa Escobedo as Izzy , Sam Richardson as Gilbert , Hannah Waddingham as Mother Witch and Tony Hale as Jefry Traske and Reverend Traske.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Since all of this films main cast do indeed turn in some rather solid performances however what lets the acting down is the films script which doesn't really give the cast alot to work with interms of their characters and their characters personalities in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Doing the CGI for this film is the legends an the greats that are currently over at Lola Visual Effects and Soho VFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad since whenever the witches use there powers in this film it doesn't connect with it's intended target and the backgrounds when the witches are flying just look fake as all heck in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
I will give this film this tho it does do something rather interesting and that's give us some more backstory for the Sanderson Sisters. However this film really doesn't go all the way with that idea instead just giving us one scene at the very start of the movie and that's it and that's ashame because the three young actresses that they got to play the younger versions of the Sanderson Sisters were really good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
I would have liked to have seen more of the I guess you could say prolog scenes just because it served as some really good world building. Given that this films central theme is sisterhood I would have liked to have seen what made the Sanderson Sisters sisterhood so strong since they are basically the main characters of this movie and that is something that could have been explored in great detail along with various other things if this film had some more flashback sequences in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
The new characters that we get in this film do seem to be pretty interesting and do have some pretty funny moments. However they just can't hold a candle to the Sanderson Sisters which is a shame because when we do get a great moment with these new characters it really does stand out but when you put them in a scene with these rather iconic characters the new characters just fall into the background in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and forty three minuets and thirty nine seconds. Which I have to admit is a great amount of time for this film to last and it really does just fly by however with this film hitting alot of the same plot points as the first film it does make the film feel a tad bit boring and that is something that really shouldn't be the case since there are alot of great new and fresh stories that you could tell with these characters without having to hit alot of the same plot points as the first film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. However what lets this film down comedy wise is the fact that it repeats alot of the same jokes from the first film which is just pointless and unneeded in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall while I can't see this film being as well remembered or even as well loved as the first film was but it was great to see these characters once together once again in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well ladies and gentlemen I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official Disney fandom wiki page simply because of the fact the official Disney fandom wiki page actually has alot of images from this film up on the official Disney fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official Disney fandom wiki page were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly freaking high definition.
