Hocus Pocus 2 (2022)
8/10
Wonderful celebration and extension of the original
3 October 2022
I went into this film thinking "Oh great, they're going to do a sequel" and I wasn't too keen on it. I saw through the years Hocus Pocus had become really big with Winifred, Sarah and Mary (they gave a nod to that in the film) cosplay popping up a lot.

I enjoyed the sisters, it felt like they really nailed how the Sandersons were as young women. I absolutely loved how they ended up doing justice to it and extending the folklore

The modern characters of Becca, Izzy and Cassie, Gilbert as well was fun to watch. Gilbert's part in the story was okay but I liked how Becca and Izzy were throughout the film. I know many of us can relate to a friend changing quickly once they have a bf/gf.

I enjoyed the fun and antics of the Sandersons, but I missed some of the slapstick we found in the first one.

I thought it was a fitting sequel, and the end was phenomenal. Excellent celebration of sisterhood and just a stellar film.
