Return to Halloweentown (2006 TV Movie)
7/10
A great disappointment

Warning: Spoilers
This movie was, well, OK. The change from the original Marnie (Kimberly J. Brown)to the new Marnie (Sara Paxton) wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. But the "new Marnie" doesn't have the same spark as the original one did. She just doesn't have that Marnie spirit. It was a great disappointment when the very important Aggie Cromwell only showed up in one little scene. The storyline was predictable but still interesting. Yet the ending was another huge disappointment. With "The Power of Three" Marnie, her mother, and her brother destroyed "The Gift" like Aggie wanted to right? Wrong. Apparently Marnie sent it into a book of her brother, Dylan. The book even had the Sinister snake on it. I mean you all saw the sparks and fireworks. "The Gift" was supposed to be destroyed. I mean the story could have had more of Ethan Dalloway in it and her new genie friend. I mean her and Ethan never kissed, it just left them walking away together. But the one thing i liked was when Marnie goes back in time and sees her grandmother, her grandmother looks just like her. I feel that this symbolizes that Marnie is like her grandmother in many ways. But the "new Marnie" isn't like Aggie at all. No one sees the "Marnie spirit: or the "Aggie spirit" that everyone sees in HT1-3.And no one even knows how Aggie really is since Aggie barely shows up in the Movie. How could Disney Channel exclude the 2nd most important character in the series out of "Return to Halloweentown". It just doesn't make sense. Well as everyone should know, the ending of a movie is more important than the movie itself. Its like an essay, and weak conclusion means a weak essay. Overall this movie is just "Ok". Nothing great, nothing special. It has none of that Halloweentown spirit that glowed so bright in the previous 3 movies of the series. Disney Channel could not have ended it worse.
