Halloweentown High (2004)

hyped garbage

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I love this movie, must watch it every October. It's ICONIC, definitely the best of the whole franchise.

This Halloween Town was again worth the time. Disney hit a home run with the casting and fine tuned the show for its audience. Lucas Grabeel stood out in this debut as Ethan, a warlock worth watching. He has much to offer the acting world and is going to go places in Hollywood and his newest release, High School Musical may be the launching pad. The show was fun and the Disney audience loved it. The Halloween Town High premise of creatures disguising themselves as high school students and trying to fit in when their peers find it hard to fit in themselves is a refreshing twist from the other roles available. Disney once again found a new vehicle for some talented young actors. Way to go, Disney!

Halloweentown High, just premiering last week on the Disney Channel was a lighthearted family feature. Watching it, anyone would realize that this film was not out to grab a best picture nomination at the Oscars. However, for what it's supposed to be, Halloweentown High proves to be a film that children will enjoy to watch. With a wide fan base of children of all ages from the first two films, you can see why the Disney Channel is playing the movie several times all month. While I read over a few of the comments made on the movie, I was perplexed at how some young girls went completely crazy over it, while others took out enough time to write a full essay on how horrible it was. As a movie for children, it's supposed to be cheesy; so expect that and you will find yourself pleasantly surprised.

Halloweentown High is terrible, not nearly as good as the first or even the second one. For the first hour and a half of the movie absolutely nothing happens. And whats up with the knights...give me a break. I think they ran out of ideas at the end of the second one. The knights really do nothing until the end, it's pathetic. By the end I didn't even care about this movie, The one thing it did have was good special effects, for a Disney movie. But, besides that small and not so great bright spot, This is garbage. My advice skip this movie, unless you have absolutely nothing to do and there is nothing on the television,and you want to watch this movie to see if it's really as bad as my review says.2/10
