Nostalgia is a powerful force in the entertainment world, which is why we'e gotten so many long-awaited sequels in recent years. Case in point: Hocus Pocus 2, which arrived in 2022 for those with a Disney+ subscription. Fans waited decades to see the trio of Sanderson Sisters back on their screens, and they managed to slip right back into character. I recently watched Hocus Pocus 2 for the first time since its premiere, and I was seriously distracted by the look of the movie. Specifically, it's muted colors.
Critics had a mixed reaction to Hocus Pocus 2 when it was released, and there were some big shoes to fill considering how much of a cult classic the 1993 original is. I enjoyed the sequel both times I've seen it, but I've got to say that the lack of vibrancy in the film's colors really distracted me the second time around. Seriously, it looked like a Zack Snyder movie at times.
