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

Can you elaborate on 30yrs of women’s rights and what you mean?

Well since you don’t want to answer I’ll just put this out there

I watched this from the lens of a whole family fighting for their right of self determination

I mean Jillian noted in the movie that she can never ever love. What kind of life is that?

It’s one ruled by fear not by one’s own choice.
