The Craft: Legacy

I was excited for the movie and was glad it wasn't an exact copy of the original, but it was just flat. Honestly the last 10 seconds of the movie was the BEST part and if you watch it, you will know why. Some of the writing was just not relevant. I feel I know nothing about the main characters after watching it.

This feels like only half of a movie. A pointless and unnecessary waste of talent. Go and rewatch The Craft instead of wasting your time on this.

It's great to see a mainstream teen movie with a diverse quartet of leads but, unfortunately, none of the new generation of witches in Zoe Lister-Jones' 'The Craft: Legacy' are as interesting as in the original, cult favorite 'The Craft' (Andrew Fleming, 1996). The story is thin and rushed - with half-baked social commentaries about being yourself, toxic masculinity, and girl power, the characters are underdeveloped and lifeless, and most of the acting is either amateurish or downright bad. Lousy.

Such a disappointment. I love the first one so much.

This one had ZERO character development for three of the girls and only concentrated on one. You learned zip about the other three. The original movie, with a back story for each girl, made you root for them. This one decided character development didn't matter.

It had its interesting moments and threw in a twist, but once the twist happened, they had a horrible score behind it that detracted from the scene so much, I thought, "Ugh, who decided on this crappy music?"

What a shame. I still never get sick of the original.

What a misfire this movie was. The plot made zero sense, the new characters were entirely without nuance or development, and the visual effects looked like a bad Instagram filter.

It felt like the writer was so concerned with making the central cast come across as perfectly moralistic do-gooders, that they forgot they where writing teenagers. When a male (Timmy) is the most interesting and fleshed out character in a Craft sequel, you've done something horribly wrong.

You'll see quite a few moments in the trailer that never showed up in the actual film, which leads me to think that the heavy hand of an editor was involved in this one. I knew this movie was seriously in trouble when the central conflict wasn't even introduced until the last twenty minutes.

This feels like the Nickelodeon version of The Craft, with all of the original film's edges systematically filed down to smooth nubs that won't injure anyone if they accidentally bump up against it.
