    What a fantastic TV Special

    The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex (2013) is a TV Special continuation of the series and focuses on Alex Russo as the family wizard and it was fun.

    Positives for The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex (2013): This TV Movie does a good job at entertaining fans of the original series with these great characters. Selena Gomez is still fun and selfish as Alex Russo and she continues to shine with her charisma on screen. I still enjoyed her dynamic with Jennifer Stone's Harper and the lesson Alex learns from her was nice to see. The main villains of Evil Alex and Dominic were fun to watch on screen. The wizard battle between the two versions of Alex was a lot of fun. And finally, you still get some great humor in the movie.

    Negatives for The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex (2013): The absence of Justin Russo is very apparent as the movie is missing some of the magic from the show. I don't like how the wizard council instantly believe Dominic just because he was high in their eyes and it makes them look really stupid.

    Overall, The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex (2013) is a fun TV Special and a nice continuation of the original Wizards series.

    Interesting

    I liked watching it but I think it was just different from what the series is. Like this movie happens and then it is never really mentioned ever. I think I really just liked it for being apart of the Wizards of Waverly Place franchise.

    Fine Disney Film

    This is a great Disney film for all viewers to watch and enjoy. The crew did a terrific job in creating this Disney film. This Disney film is likely to make all viewers reflect on themselves. The storyline of this Disney film was real great and original and strong. The cast selection was fine enough. They really connected to the storyline and to their respective characters. Selena Gomez really stepped up big time throughout this entire Disney film. The chemistry that was displayed throughout this entire Disney film between the cast members could have been a whole lot better and stronger for all viewers to relate to it more.
