After re watching the entire series.

This has got to by far the worst, I didn't even bother watching it after I saw Sara Paxton, I totally forgot she played Marnie. Side note: Why was everyone obsessed with Sara Paxton back then she was in everything, what happened to her?

The first and second movies are the best, the third is obviously lazy writing. Revealing her magic to a guy (Tristan from AHS, what? who saw that coming) she just met last week. And using her magic in public in front of half to school to see. Come on. And whatever happened to Luke? The goblin who was a bad boy wannabe who got a nose job, but at the end he looked hideous, and by the second movie he looked way better. His character was never mentioned again. And what is up with all these High School characters in this movie. ugh.

Like everyone says lets just pretend this movie never happened.

Yes! All of this! It has always bothered me that Lukes disappeared. There was good chemistry between him and Marnie. And she was the type to not judge anyone, so there seemed the possibility of a romance. I just hated this one so much. They recast for no reason.

Halloweentown 1 looked like it had no budget.

You're such a nut. Sara Paxton ROCKED the role. She was no Kimberly, but she made the character her own and brought a fresh taste to her. I liked it. I thought she did fine. People need to lighten up. They hate on her simply because she's not Kimberly and then say she was bad because of it, and it often don't even have anything to do with her actual performance. If you're going to say Sara is bad, nine times out of ten it's always due to the fact of her replacing Kimberly. Think of it like this: had Sara played the role from the get-go and played her the same way in this movie, all these people saying she's so bad here wouldn't even be talking. So you know they're just stuck up on the whole recasting. People just can't separate one thing from the other.

But yes, Sara rocked and you could probably see that so lighten up and watch the freaking movie.

Sara definitely did a good job. It is really hard to step into that role after someone else did it for 3 movies.
