Hocus Pocus 2
6/10
Watchable. The 1st third kind of dragged a bit until it got to the actual plot/introduced the teens vs. witches aspect then it became what was expected. The Sanderson Sisters were well written and it's clear the actresses were having fun with the roles. Some cute little callbacks peppered throughout but it did feel... lighter in tone (to be expected considering modern Disney). Visually, it was solid with my favorite scene probably being the Sanderson Sisters return. The Mayor/Apple running gag was hit & miss for me. The boyfriend being the idiot just clicked right with me and I wish there were more scenes of him.
I liked the plot concept once it got underway and it did give the Sanderson Sisters an arc. I'm not in love with the direction they took Winifred at the end but it was a little expected with Disney's transition to not make the baddies truly evil 100% of the way. I did like the arc for the teens although it did feel a bit hurried considering the heart of the arc (that the girls don't hang out together) felt more exposition than shown for most of the movie.
