Wonderful character development!

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

OK i hated this movie with a Passion, i didn't care for the loss for Kimberly at first, i was thinking maybe it wasn't gonna be bad. but then they added the fact that the grandma was the queen? WTF. this was just a poor way to make money,.. it got 7.3million views. but thank god there making another movie coming this Oct (2011) when kal comes back. this will be the final chapter. although the original Marney wont be in it. they are replacing her with a different actress. NOT SARA PAXTON. and i think there replacing kal. i also heard that Sophie will be playing the new Marney,. well have to see.PS. the love interest with Marney and eian. could of just started. they rushed it.

I thought that the movie was OK. The fact that they actually skipped that part were Marie went to halloweentown for a year to train was stupid. Also where did that castle come from. In the first 3 Halloweentown was not that big. Also if the ultimate power was so evil that it could control anyone and they would have no control over there own body hwy wouldn't they destroy it. It took about 300 years for 3 Cromwell's to be born all at the same time who knows haw long it will take for another 3 to be born. Also hiding the gift in a book on a shelf is the worst sport to hide it since everyone knows that it is one of the first places to look when trying to destroy a room. HELLO!!! If they could find the box that has been hidden under ground for 300 years how long do you think it will take for them to find that one. But on the other hand the movie was very well played out. The fact that they are doing research about there history with out magic is very close to normal because you cant use magic to find everything exspecally when you don't have them.

Return to Halloweentown was a lot better than the other three because in the first one yes she did use magic without even thinking about it but in this one she is at Witch U to learn to control her powers and make them more powerful so if she used them without thinking it would be a waste of the schools time meaning the movie would be pointless. Seeing that she didn't use her powers the instant she had a stupid Idea meant that she was learning to control them not that she was being a wimp. like they say in all the movies... with true power comes true responsibility and I think they made this Halloweentown very well thank you very much. In addition to that You DON'T need Linkberly J Brown to make the movie... yes it would have been nicer but that is like saying if Paula Abdul left American Idol than it would be ruined... but if Paula left American Idol then it wouldn't be horrible granted it would be different but If you watched American Idol for the singing the judges don't matter. So I give Return to halloweentown two thumbs up!

I thought Return to Halloween was really good. Yes like many I also missed Kimberly J. Brown. I'm sure she would have loved to do it but I also think Sara Paxton did an awesome job. I was a little surprised at first but I soon got use to it and didn't notice after a while. At least they had the decency to dye her hair the same color and she almost does look like Kim just skinnier (and no she's not anorexic) and I think she got the part down perfect. I agree with some other commenter's that they should have shown the teachers were evil later in the movie rather than so close to the beginning. I also like the Ethan and Marnie getting close together. I didn't like how they took Sophie out but at least they didn't really leave her out. They at least gave an excuse to why she's not being seen. Overall really good movie. And just so everyone's clear, DEBBIE REYNOLDS WAS IN RETURN TO HALLOWEENTOWN! Just look at the cast listings, geez!
