Atom User Reviews for Hocus Pocus
If I could give this movie 100 stars, I would. A little cheesy but so iconic.
Can’t wait for Hocus Pocus 2!!!!
One of my favorite movies! Really enjoyed watching on the big screen 😁😁
I got to see this before it came out in theaters, (back in '93!), and loved it so much, we paid again to see. it when it finally premiered! So, when we saw that AMC was bringing it back; my daughter and I knew we had to get tickets!
Honestly my wig flies every time I watch this film it’s truly iconic
Love this movie ❤️
Loved seeing this on the big screen!
Amazing movie, Bette Midler is totally perfect. Grew up with this movie, never tired of it :)
I have loved this movie since it first came out, we watch it every Halloween and sometimes just because.
So glad this was brought back to theaters years later!
Awesome seeing a movie i grew up with in theaters!
Metacritic
Just about every line of dialogue written for a child or teenager is painful (the movie must have been dated a week after release), though I suppose that helps Hocus Pocus work as a time capsule. Far more charm can be found in the largely practical effects and sets.
Trying to break expectations isn't always a wise idea and here Disney show how not to do it. With this supposed-family movie, they disappoint on nearly every level. The plot is weak, the action poor and it's got Bette Midler, simply dreadful.
Apparently too much eye of newt got into the formula for Hocus Pocus, transforming a potentially wicked Bette Midler vehicle into an unholy mess. That's too bad, since Ms. Midler's appearance in a role like the one she has here could have been pure witchcraft.
