Hocus Pocus Sequel Being Developed for Disney+

[MickeyMouse10]

The group in the video is on the Apologists side. They even say fans should not be able to review content. Because they are review bombing it and giving it low grades. So if they are saying the fix is in then you know it is.

It's odd they've got no problem with paid Shills of the Mouse. ... But they do have one with the regular normal people, being able to express their opinions. And show companies like Disney that we won't accept whatever bad content they give us with a wide joker smile.

Even if I bought into the idea that sometimes the critics are strong-armed into good reviews (and if I did, I definitely wouldn't think it was on that large a scale), I have a REALLY hard time buying into the idea that a straight to Disney+ movie is the kind of movie they would feel the need to provide a very positive review for. I mean, are we making the case that Disney pressured for THIS movie, but decided to let it play out for a movie with the budget the Eternals had? Again, I probably loathe critic reviews more than about anyone on this board, but not for being bought, but for their self-righteousness and constant need to find the biggest words to say the simplest things.

"Every single person that wants to have access to things early. That wants to get access to things so that traffic is drawn to their site will on occasion. Occasionally will play softball. Occasionally has to you know look the other way."

cohost asks what he means.

"In a sense you know I hated a movie, but I won't say that I hated the movie."

If you believe that, then you probably believe this is really Walt's head too....

I have it for sale, cheap price only $1500.....

If you believe it doesn't happen, than you must believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

I did when I was young, but then I grew up and stopped believing something just because "someone" said it.

LOL, you can believe what you want man. I'll end with this question for you.

What is more likely?...

A 180 billion dollar company likes to buy people off, which helps sell their content.

or

A 180 billion dollar company allows negative reviews, that could damage their profits.

I know that you think Disney is "all powerful", but they don't control everything. If they really did control everything they wouldn't "allow" ANY of their movies to get negative reviews.

Plus as someone already pointed out, why would they "pay" to get positive reviews for a D+ movie but not "pay" to get positive reviews for an MCU film released to theaters?

Not to mention if this was real it would be the biggest payola scandal since the 50s and 60s when records companies were actually doing it to get priority play time for their artists. And with today's climate with certain groups trying to take down Disney would bring lawsuits against them so fast you could set an egg timer to it.

So yeah what is more likely in reality.....

You got to love the sound of crickets.

Apologists don't like facts, they wince whenever the light of truth falls on their face.

Maybe it’s the sound of crickets because no one can figure out how you are coming up with such nonsense.

The original is kitschy fun but isn’t a particularly quality movie. Honestly if it wasn’t for the big name actresses playing the witches, it would be easy to mistake it for a Disney Channel Original

Agreed but it has become pretty beloved over the years. And yeah, the original is only 39% positive on Rotten Tomatoes. Those damned bought and paid for movie critics, LOL.

Unless you have seen me post about “every trailer”, which you have not, then save your typing energy. I say plenty of trailers look like crap but I don’t announce to the world that something is going to suck before there is any evidence of that.

 

[BuddyThomas]

67% on Rotten Tomatoes. Not great but not terrible either.

“CRITICS CONSENSUS
Hocus Pocus 2 is basically a boiling cauldron of nostalgia, but that's more than enough for this belated sequel to cast a reasonably effective spell.”

Hocus Pocus 2 | Rotten Tomatoes

It's been 29 years since someone lit the Black Flame Candle and resurrected the 17th-century sisters, and they are looking for revenge. Now it is up to three high-school students to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before dawn on All Hallow's Eve.

I mean its:

A) higher than the original

B) higher than most of the original films from the platform save for a handful

Rotten Tomatoes gave She-Hulk an 87%, enough said.

Soooo. Who has watched it and is giving a review ?

RT is being pretty fishy with She-Hulk. You can't see any of the Critics Reviews.

But you can see the viewers reviews though. Most of them are 1 star or less and the 4 and 5 star ones use very little detail in their descriptions. Like they either haven't watched it or they're bots.
