Jóvenes y brujas: nueva hermandad

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.

I've never made a review until now... I'm a HUGE fan of the first since it came out when I was a younger kid. Still remains one of the best movies from my childhood.

So while I had small expectations from the trailer but I still had an open mind going into it.

The cons definitely outweigh the pros.

Cons: There was ALOT of unanswered questions, lots of things were thrown at your randomly, the scenes were rushed, the effects were boring/very cheesy af, and the majority of the actors mostly the girls and parents were very cringy. And the way the humor and comedic relief was thrown in just wasn't it. And It just felt so underwhelming. And it is def built around a Gen Z audience instead of the older audience who loved the original and made it a cult classic Pros: it had some potential, the main actress who played Lily was ok. The actor who played Tommy was better and the best of the cast. Probably because of the actual and only character development and was very well played. Not to sound harsh but that's about it.

In the end this whole plotline seems like something a high school teenager would've wrote for a English creative writing story.

Very disappointed but not surprised.

I do really like the original but I never grew up with it so I don't have that connection with it like some other people. That being said this film was still not great.

I did actually enjoy some parts especially when the group were kind of just hanging out together and being fun.

There are so many dead end plots that just go absolutely no where like just nothing happens. For example there is this random scene where someone sleep walks into the main girls room, it is played as a jump scare. And then we never hear of it again. It was pointless and an absolute waste of time. This is just one thing, there are many other things like this. This is a stab in the dark but when watching I realised a few scenes from the trailer were absent from the movie and I feel like this is maybe why so many sub plots are just dead in the water because they are all on the cutting room floor.

I found that the ending seemed tacked on too and was just super unnecessary and then even more so the scenes that take place after the climax of the movie. They once again just felt like "oh here is an idea...actually never mind".

I think this movie would have been so much better if they just focused on the group and didn't bog it down with everything else. I also didn't like that they were just like had powers from the start there was no build up like in the original and no scenes where they had to practice them.

I really liked that it was a pretty inclusive movie and had a inclusive feeling running though the middle of it.

One small nit pick as well is that I really didn't like the soundtrack and score. It was such a hodge podge and didn't do the movie any favours. The original movie is such a time capsule of a time and culture in the 90s and this was just like all over the place.

This is such a bad movie. Where is the magic, where is the darkness, I miss Nancy. The score was interesting, Nicholas Galitzine as Tommy was good and the last scene appearance was nice. The acting and the screenplay with its undeveloped plots were awful. Stick to the original!

Honestly this was such a disappointment to see. This movie contains more like a cliche teen high school movie elements instead of thriller/horror. I personally can't see any horror items in it. I hate how they never mentioned main characters' backstories or their daily lives. And there were SO many plotholes that i can't catch up while watching. Literally I'm so disappointed rn just go and watch the original one and don't waste ur time watching this. In the end I'd like these characters so much if writers wrote them better. But with that many unanswered questions in the plot and zero backstory on main characters... a no from me
