Gregory Wakeman Chicago Reader As soon as the trio turn up, Hocus Pocus 2 immediately becomes compelling and enjoyable. Oct 7, 2022 Full Review Carmen Phillips Autostraddle Hocus Pocus 2 really is cute (enough). If you’re in the right mood, it’s maybe even good. Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Shirley Li The Atlantic The film wears its ridiculousness so proudly, it’s impossible to disdain. It is both a diverting watch and a sly commentary on its predecessor’s strengths. Oct 3, 2022 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net Hocus Pocus 2 made me laugh, often uncontrollably, and it made me misty-eyed by the end. That’s all I ask from films like it, and I can’t wait to see it again with my friends. Preferably in costume, with candy, and then again every year afterward. Rated: 4/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed There is a lot to enjoy about the sequel, even for stubborn fanatics of the Kenny Ortega feature film. Oct 2, 2023 Full Review Kevin Slane Boston.com While there are plenty of fan service nods to its 1993 predecessor, “Hocus Pocus 2” stands capably on its own, offering a spooky diversion for a whole new generation of viewers. Rated: 3/4 Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Cristian F I think the movies does give a certain nod to its predecesor but still remaining an enjoyable film for these present generations. It really felt amazing to watch. It may not please everyone but what does? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Matteo C Disney didn't disappointed me in disappointing me. A politically correct show, a disaster ending for a wonderful movie from the 90s. Don't watch it if you have enjoyed the first one. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Anna F pienso que es una película muy buena Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Audience Member This was another unneeded sequel. The first one was amazing and so iconic and I am low-key so confused why the other one has lower ratings. This one was a little cringe and felt like I was watching a Disney channel movie. Although it did have some laughs and I did think it was funny to introduce the witches to 2022, however even with that it still wasn't that great and I wouldn't recommend it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Tilly B I loved this movie a lot, you could tell the love and enjoyment poured into this, these movies are my comfort films! Thanks to the cast and creative team for creating something so special! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Jay W First one of course solid movie! This one without getting too critical, just had bad writing plain and simple the Sandersons were great, I’m only writing review in hopes that it makes a difference in the 3rd movie in production, (though not likely) the biggest thing that stood out to me was the original had a more organic story line; character interactions were so good, this second one honestly felt like an attempt to make every scene a meme; a gif; something to keep the audience from pulling up there phone and doom scroll. You had our attention with the 1st, we can handle slightly longer attention spanned story, this is the divide,.. kids like this movie it keeps sprinkling things that draws your attention. Here’s to hoping the 3rd will be fun and little more natural feeling! Will update if I ever watch this again…. Review is based off a watch from last year.
