Halloweentown: O Portal

In all honestly, there can be a good reason that Halloweentown shouldn't need to be turned into a franchise and just stick as just two. Halloweentown High essentially turns the first two films into a your generic high school teen film. While I wouldn't necessary call it a bad film with some decent costumes and some that have a good followup like with monsters entering the human world from Halloweentown, it also was pretty rushed. I'll admit, the villain aspect would've worked. But even for Disney Channel, all that doesn't have time to get to know better of the events that would be going out throughout. It's not just a rushed plot, but with generic characters, bad CGI and a weak villain. I'll say that this will most likely be for huge fans of Halloweentown. Outside of that, it's a one-time watch. As much I liked the first two, this one is rather a mediocre school film.

This Halloween Town was again worth the time. Disney hit a home run with the casting and fine tuned the show for its audience. Lucas Grabeel stood out in this debut as Ethan, a warlock worth watching. He has much to offer the acting world and is going to go places in Hollywood and his newest release, High School Musical may be the launching pad. The show was fun and the Disney audience loved it. The Halloween Town High premise of creatures disguising themselves as high school students and trying to fit in when their peers find it hard to fit in themselves is a refreshing twist from the other roles available. Disney once again found a new vehicle for some talented young actors. Way to go, Disney!

I think "Halloween Town High" was really good. I also liked "Halloween Town and Halloween Town-Kalabars Revenge. Kimberly J. Brown is a terrific Actress. She is a very beautiful talented actress. I have all the Halloween Town movies recored. I look forward to the Next Halloween Town movie. These movies are very good movies for kids to watch.

I am a very big fan of Kimberly J. Brown. I hope Disney keeps on putting these movies on. I really hope they make a Halloween Town 4. These are the kinds of movies that I love to watch. If people would watch the movies very carefully they would realize that these Haloween Town movies are good for kids to watch. I will always be a fan of Kimberly J. Brown

This was the best out of ALL of them, and I am being honest. It was the coolest, greatest, best written and acted one of them all. I love all the Halloweentown movies because of their plots! Witty and clever ones. You get to see a different villain, which I loved. In every Halloweentown movie, there is a new villain. I love that! In a lot of movies, they have the same villain for every movie. It had more characters i.e. Cassie, Natalie, Chester, Pete, Ethan and more, they are all students from Halloweentown come to the mortal world to see what it's like to live like a human. My favorite was Ethan! He is so good. Lucas Grabeel is such a good actor, and this was his first acting job ever, and he was excellent. We were also joined by Cody, a new student at Marnie's high school, who happens to like her, she likes him too! It's a real cool movie, the best one out of all, so check it out!

Halloweentown III: Halloween High, though not a stunning piece of cinema, held much more talent and savvy than that of the first two. The characters did not seem as 1-dimensional and bland. The production value was more towards the theme of the film. And the acting was much better as well.

Truth be told, I was appalled by the first two films. To me, they seemed to poke too much fun at Halloween and the mystique behind the glorious Holiday that it is. This was abandoned that lack of respect and focused more on being a family friendly film.

Kimberly J. Brown has grown into a beautiful and talented young actresses. It is good to see her give less of a "wooden"performance, as in the last two entries.

I think the new director & new writer were just what this series needed. If Disney continues to make them like this...I'll keep watching with my Daughter. If they revert back to what they have been dishing out...Then I'll stay on Nickelodeon!
