He's had three flops in a row now if I'm not mistaken. That movie he did with Steve Carell, That movie he did with Brad Pitt, and it looks like this one with Anne Hathaway as well. No wonder he's retreating to something safe and likely profitable like that live-action Pinocchio movie he's doing for Disney.

It really has been a while since he made a good movie. Might have to go back to the future.

I didn’t like the original so maybe I’ll like this one.
The Pitt movie was good btw.

So as someone who’s read the book. So far this seems to be taking more from the book. Yes the location has changed, race is different, grandma seems much younger in this time and a few other things.
I actually don’t mind it so far. I think Octavia does a great job (as always, I think she’s a wonderful actress) I think even the little boy is pretty good. I can see why some people might not like this though. It’s definitely not the original, but I’m not looking at it as a remake, I’m looking at it as just another adaption of the book.

Honestly I think the only reason they got Hathaway was so she could be the one they least expect to be a Witch. |

If the previous movie didn’t exist would this one be good? If the answer is yes, then it means it’s a good movie now. It just may not be as good as the original but it gets knocked more when that happens due to nostalgia. |

Not great, but passable. |

The trailer looked like a hot mess so I'm not surprised. Hopefully, Zemeckis can rebound soon enough.

That's what Zemeckis deserves for joining the cult of woketardation. I just rewatched his episode of "Amazing Stories" and it's still great. He should stop making Democrat party propaganda.

He always struck me as "that guy that wants to be Spielberg, not as good". I think he should just make a sequel to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"

Jessica Rabbit will probably have a sex change operation in this one or she'll be gay and married to Betty Boop.

I think we all need to ask ourselves: was Zemeckis even all that great as a director? I can only name 2 of really good things from him. Back to The Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Everything else I’ve seen from him is either just ok or BAD!!!

Ok now I can see why this got the rating it did. I won’t lie and say I thought it started out pretty good, but OMG once Hathaway came on, the movie started out as 8 and she brought it down to a 5!!!!
I don’t know what the hell Hathaway was doing. She wasn’t terrifying and she had this weird accent to where you couldn’t understand her and they kind of used that as a joke sometimes, but there were REALLY times you had no idea WTF she was saying. I hate saying this about Hathaway cause I know she’s a good actress if not a great actress, but MAN she was BAD here!!!
The Cgi cat thing was something out of Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland. Did I mention the Cgi was not very good in this?
The movie also had a hard time deciding if it wanted to be a remake of the original movie or if it wanted to be closer to the book. It felt like in places it wanted to be just a remake of the original movie with hints of the novel.
Everything else was ok. I really liked Octavia in this and bless her she deserves better movies than this. Even the little boy was pretty good. He wasn’t playing Luke from the original movie. He mainly just went by “Boy” which is true to the novel. Actually I thought everyone besides Hathaway and Tucci were really good. Tucci seemed like he had no clue what to do in this movie either.
It’s a shame this was so bad because there was definitely potential for a Witches remake, but this was not good!!!
5/10
