I maghi di Waverly - The Movie

This was a very good movie. Disney as I remember it kinda, I grew up on Disney films and lets face it they've fallen off in the last decade or so. But anyways back to the movie, while you've seen the plot many times before it still kept you wondering. The acting was superb, Jake T Austin does much better than expected in a role where he could have been a cliché, Selena Gomez and David Henrie were beyond convincing in their roles, their scenes together were my favorite! While the brother/sister relationship was in tact you could see that they ginuinely love and care for each other and credit goes to Ms. Gomez and Mr. Henrie for that. After seeing this I wonder what they will do next both have good careers ahead of them if they play their cards right. Their scenes were just so natural. Credit also goes to Mr. David Deluise and Maria Berrero (sorry forgot her name), the chemistry between the family makes you believe that they are really a tight nit family. To David Deluise your icon of a father would be proud of you for this performance. Hope they expand on the characters in the future and go for a feature film I would see it.

Wow, is all I can say about this movie, it was the best DCOM movie I have ever seen, The movie gave a very good family outlook with many scenes showing how the three siblings missed their parents and how they were determined to get their parents to know them. The actors in this are just flat out fantastic, I really like the TV show, but when I watched this, all the actors seemed more geared up and prepared. The chemistry of all the actors really made me like this movie, Selena Gomez once again does a great job, and the scenes in the movie between David Henrie and Selena Gomez were just unbelievable, the way they acted in every scene together was just perfect.

When I first saw the promos for this movie, I was like, oh that sounds cool, but I didn't expect it to be so good. Although the plot was a recycled one that's been used by Disney a lot, the actors breathed a new life to it with all of their amazing performances, and the special effects( although not Hollywood picture perfect) they were amazing for a disneychannel movie.

And the ending scenes of the movie were great, and once the movie was done, I was satisfied,( something that usually doesn't happen when I watch a DCOM)

This movie is honestly better than any other DCOM, Nickelodeon Movie or straight-to-DVD movie out there. It was written so well that (barely noticeable) flaws were forgivable. Sarcasm, and typical WOWP one-liners were inserted at just the right places that you can't help but laugh when the moment comes! Plus, the chemistry between each character was so good that you might even forget that they're just acting and that they're not actually related. O_o Even the extras made the film extra awesome!

I'm not a very easy person to please but, frankly, NOTHING in this film disappointed me because it was SO MUCH better than I expected. You probably wouldn't believe me until you saw it for yourself!

It truly is MAGIC. :)

P.S. I think the next few DCOMs should be worried. They have pretty big shoes to fill!

From the moment the preview for this movie was being shown on TV, I was very excited about it mainly because of the tone, the mood, and the action-packed adventure that was lying ahead. There were too many great things about this film that I was simply blown away by; 1st off, the acting was great, especially from David Henrie and Selena Gomez, and Jake T. Austin didn't act as stupid as he normally would on the show. The special effects were just mind-blowing and incredible, the location at which they were shooting (Puerto Rico) was amazing, and I really liked how Jerry(David Deluise) got to use magic and be more quirky, which he doesn't get too much of on the show. Honestly, this is one of the best DCOM's I've ever seen, and considering how great it was and how cool the visual effects were, this should've been a feature film. The story was so well constructed, and it really reflected how kids would wish for things out of anger and resentment, and then in this film it actually happened, and eventually Alex was in regret. My favorite acting scene was between Alex and Theresa, and also when Alex cried about how Justin couldn't remember her, and how he should've won the wizard competition. And I will say that it was for the best that Harper(Jennifer Stone) had a small role in the film, because there was nothing they could do for her character. This film is so great, the acting is so professional, it's from the director of Minutemen, and I love it. This is the kind of film that deserves a sequel, but that's more than likely not gonna happen. A shocker in regards to this film is that the writer, Dan Berendsen sank so low and went as far as co-writing Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. But besides that, this film is so cool, and one of the greatest DCOMs ever!!!
