Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

truelilaznkid What I don't understand is why did they change their last names from Cromwell to Piper.. In the next movie Return to HalloweenTown, they are now known as Pipers and they got rid of Kimberly J. Brown in Return to Halloweentown. Still.... why is the name from Cromwell to Piper? Also, the movie changed Halloween Town dramatically. It changed in Kalabar's Revenge and it looks uglier. They also got rid of Luke. So many people that got rid of in this movie. So whats the point of this all?? i dunno... now i need to fill 10 lines lol what to do... what to do... lalala... OH!! I GOT IT!!! In halloween Town High... they didn't show any part of the Monster world... but mostly the mortal world... why??? It should have shown the big pumpkin or something...

Morticon It's rare that sequels are better than the original, and this movie proves that in many words. Halloweentown was a blast to watch, and I knew at once that the other 2 sequels would be good, but I was wrong. I didn't particularly like #2, but I definitely don't like this one. The entire movie is like repeating one scene over and over and over and over with different lines, it's not exciting at all. A lot of the Halloweentown citizens aren't as believable as they were in the first, they look more like costumes had just been slapped on them. It doesn't seem so much like it's connected to the original. It just seems like it's an entirely new movie and not a sequel. It was just bad. I don't recommend.

residentevil590 Halloweentown High is terrible, not nearly as good as the first or even the second one. For the first hour and a half of the movie absolutely nothing happens. And whats up with the knights...give me a break. I think they ran out of ideas at the end of the second one. The knights really do nothing until the end, it's pathetic. By the end I didn't even care about this movie, The one thing it did have was good special effects, for a Disney movie. But, besides that small and not so great bright spot, This is garbage. My advice skip this movie, unless you have absolutely nothing to do and there is nothing on the television,and you want to watch this movie to see if it's really as bad as my review says.2/10

saturniia As both a fan of the first two Halloweentown movies and a student of Communication Arts, I was very much looking forward to the third movie in the Halloweentown series, especially since said series is supposed to end as a trilogy. However, the movie's narrative proved that this is not the case.The first problem one encounters is that the flow of the story doesn't match up with that of the previous two movies. Sure, the flow of the trilogy goes from a childish good and evil narrative in the first move, through a revenge plot in the second movie that fits Marnie's status as teenager, into a reasonably adult diversification theme that metatexturally speaks of Marnie's selfishness. The problem, however, lies in the fact that our young protagonist goes about this in a way that is not structured in the exchange students' best interests.SPOILERS BELOW!Furthermore, Gwen, Marnie's mother, uses magic. This may not seem like a big thing to a first-time watcher, but throughout both earlier movies, it has been proven that Gwen actively *chooses* not to use her powers, especially while in the human world. The frivolous use of magic in a scene where Gwen and Marnie interact isn't only odd, it's actively confusing. The only times Gwen used spells in previous movies was as self-defense.Also, certain characters who had a strong presence in the first two movies were noticeably absent. One can understand the under-use of Emily Roeske's Sophie, because the character is noticeably younger than her siblings and therefore probably still in middle school, but the absolute absence of Luke is inexcusable. This is a character that not only plays a major role in the first two films and is a fan favorite, but also the character who throughout the first two movies was positioned as having a crush on Marnie and, in the second movie, being her friend. While one can understand that contract negotiations and so on may have prevented Phillip Van Dyke from appearing in the movie, to completely forget the character's presence and importance is unforgivable. Even a single line explaining the character's absence would have been preferable. That would have explained why the parents and other more sophisticated viewers of DCOM didn't get any sort of triangle between Marnie, Luke, and Marnie's human boyfriend, which would have been infinitely preferable to the plot we were presented.In conclusion, while the story is good enough on its own, and the costumes and special effects are magnificent, the movie's shortcomings handicap its impact. The movie is skewed, and appears to have nothing to do with Halloweentown so much as Marnie's selfishness in particular. This is, by far, the weakest of the three movies, while it had the potential to be the best. Disney undershot its goal this time, folks. 3/10 stars, for beautiful costumes and set design.
