SkyRo P Upon reading reviews of the film, I find myself puzzled by the differing opinions. Personally, I believe that "Casper" is a fantastic and magical movie that delivers great entertainment, particularly in its original form. The lovable character of Casper, along with the comical uncles, creates a delightful and enjoyable cinematic experience. Christina Ricci's performance is outstanding, and Devon Sawa shines as Casper, making the movie a standout in the genre. Despite my positive view, I feel that critics have not given this film the credit it truly deserves. It has rightfully earned its place as a classic and a beloved cult favorite. However, when it comes to the sequels like "Casper Meets Wendy," I must admit that the magic of the original film seems to have faded. The rushed and lacking plot fails to capture the charm of the first movie, leaving viewers feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. Similarly, "Casper: A Spirited Beginning" and "Casper's Haunted Christmas" fall short of replicating the success of the original. These films struggle to maintain the charm and appeal of the first movie, ultimately becoming forgettable and difficult to enjoy. While I have revisited the original "Casper" film numerous times, I have only watched the sequels a couple of times at most. The magic and nostalgia of the first movie remain unmatched, leaving the subsequent films unable to recapture the same enchanting quality.

It's a stripped back version of the original in every way possible, with the animation - which, admittedly, isn't the greatest in the 1995 release - particularly standing out as being awful. The cast are OK, if entirely forgettable - perhaps with the exceptions of Chuck McGill, Michael McKean, and Mufasa, James Earl Jones. Let's see what 'Casper Meets Wendy' cobbles together... Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This direct-to DVD Casper flick sucks! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Quincy S As a big fan of the 1995 film, this is a very disappointing follow up. The classic cliche "original cast is gone and so is everything great about it. Here's a cheep cash in" it's a damn shame we never got a proper sequel Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/21 Full Review Read all reviews
