Dale R The sequel to Escape to Witch Mountain. The two kids from the previous movie return and again they do a fair job in the acting department. Not sure how the movie makers conned Christopher Lee and Bette Davis into this movie. I felt like Bette Davis was phoning in her performance as one of the villains. I’ve seen her be much more menacing in other films. Christopher Lee did a good job as the main villain. I think this film would be very confusing if you haven’t seen the original. I didn’t enjoy the plot much, the villains had “rule the world” syndrome. Plus the special effects were awful, even for the time. Skip this one, unless you really want to watch the entire Witch Mountain series. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Todd S What can you say it's got Christopher Lee in it. I guess Betty Davis used to be somebody so it's kind of good to see her have work even though her face looks like it's plastered and face Bondo. It's kinda lame and campy but I do enjoy watching the van rebuilding itself. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Mike P Weak sequel to the Disney hit from 75...The most annoying thing about this entry is that it rewrites the rules from part 1...Tony could NOT engage in extensive telekinesis without his harmonica in part 1; and overall he was not as strong as his sister Tia. And then this version suddenly acts like he's stronger. Also obviously Uncle Bené was an idiot for leaving these young, impressionable and vulnerable children alone for two weeks...In downtown Los Angeles, no less! I don't know what he was thinking...Particularly with what wound up happening...One was kidnapped and brainwashed by supervillains; the other was taken in by a homeless street gang ...And they BOTH almost died!!..Obviously dropping off a couple 15 year olds on earth by themselves for a few days was BAD strategy...The best thing about this movie are the bad guys ...And somehow this lame sequel ensnared two of the best villains in cinema history...Bette Davis and Christopher Lee. And they're amazing...This movie doesn't deserve them...They should've been the big bads in the latest 007 franchise movie. But not this...And beyond those legends, Lee and Davis, this movie stinks. Another mindless and generic product from the Disney Factory... Overall: not recommended 👎 Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Brian S My Disney plus subscription is running out and one of the first movies I watched when I signed up was Escape to Witch Mountain. I had seen that as a child but didn't remember anything about it. I had never seen this sequel. If you never watched the first one, you could still watch this one and enjoy it. It's got a decent pace and although not the best acting, it's a fun watch. I could see kids enjoying this now even though the special effects would be considered dated by today's time standards. But as I watch this now as a grown up, I imagine how amazed I would be as a kid seeing this. I just like that it is good simple fun and there's no political messages other than the kids should stay in school. It's wholesome and I enjoy wholesome. Wouldn't say you the best movie I've seen all year by any means, but if you want something on for 90 minutes that you can enjoy, this is it. Also recommend the computer wore tennis shoes if you enjoy the older movies.
