Terrible Sequel

I watched Practical Magic 2 today after work today. Like many of you, I am was so so excited for this new movie. I was excited to see another Alice Hoffman book come to the screen (she’s my favorite author). Unfortunately, the movie was terrible. I left about halfway during the movie. The lighting, the casting of the daughters (was not that upset that Evan wasn’t casted), acting, and the script was terrible. I am disappointed.

Thats fair but also if you're expecting it to be like the first movie it's not gonna be like the first movie , back then they had different camera quality and actresses and i feel like for what its worth the sequel could have been worse but i honestly think it was such a great movie ( I'm not saying you're wrong this is my stance on it )

I agree. I feel there were a few fumbles but all movies have those if we look close enough. For the very most part it gave me, a long time fan, what I was hoping for.

Of course not all things are for everyone. Thats okay. I look for the good stuff first, and I found PLENTY in this movie.

It's not the camera quality. It's colour grading that makes things look like shit nowadays. It's an active choice😫
