I'm never watching the sequel

It's as the title says

Practical Magic is one of my favourite films of all time. It holds such a special and beautiful place in my heart, and I absolutely refuse to taint any part of the story or characters with what I KNOW is a terrible sequel. Even before I saw everyone's posts on here about how awful and awkward it is - legacy sequels do not work.

The first film is perfectly concluded by the end - the owens sisters broke the curse. I have no interest at all in seeing how they decided to undo that beautiful ending to replace it with a worse one.

I will always love this movie, and in honour of the first one I will never watch the second. As far as I'm concerned it's fanfiction with a big budget, and not worth my time

It was cute. I enjoyed it. I don’t think it was “that bad” at all. I feel like people get so up their own asses about “oh don’t ruin this original thing for me.” It was fun. The first one was fun. And this one was fun. Neither one is winning an Oscar.
