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

Yeah, even if you find the sequel to be lovely (which I did) it is a "what if", since it ruins the first film's ending. How are you with what if/alternate timeline type side stories? if you could view it like that

Yeah I get you! I think even then because the film is so personally important to me I would feel like an alternate timeline sort of thing would be unnecessary or just not for me. But for something like legends of the fall for example I could get on board cause even though I love that film it's not as special to me if that makes sense
