Movie Reviews of Casper Meets Wendy
Movie Review: Could have been better.
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie is a great family film, however if your a fan of the original movie you'd think it sucks. I didn't like it for many reasons.
1. It didn't fit the original story of the first movie.
2. The casting was interesting but the acting was bad.
3. The CGI animation was really bad and it was made three years after the first movie.( I don't blame them, it was a straight to DVD release)
4. They never fully explain the reason way there has been a long rivalry with ghost and witches.
5. Finally it was a prequel/sequel and A Spirited Beginning was really horrible. ( Which is why I am not bothering making a review on it)
Saban should have just stuck with Power Rangers and not have done Casper and all those other Harvey Cartoon Live-Action films because Universal was way better at doing Caper. I will say this, the casting was pretty good but they did a poor job doing this movie. I bet if they would have came up with a better story if they had more time to do the movie. Since it was the Sequel to A Spirited Beginning and not to the first movie it was turn to complete trash. My suggestion don't buy it unless you like it or you have children how might like it.
Summary of Casper Meets Wendy
The creepiest thing about Casper Meets Wendy is the title characters' romance--bashful, cutie pie Casper shouldn't be prone to weaknesses of the flesh (he is, after all, a ghost). And he's entirely too childlike to take up with a witch even of Wendy's decidedly non-wicked order. Still, sparks fly in this madcap jumble of a film, and so do the sort of zippy one-liners and presto-type magic tricks that'll keep kids from 6 to 12 spellbound. The plot is paper-thin: head honcho warlock Desmond Spellman (George Hamilton) is obsessed with offing Wendy (Hilary Duff) after an oracle proclaims her powers to be on the upswing. He sends two goons to capture her at the Sunny Brite resort, where she and her haggish aunts (Teri Garr, Cathy Moriarty, and Shelley Duvall) are in hiding and where Casper and his trouble-making uncles are vacationing and causing random calamities. While Wendy and Casper hit it off, their more traditional-minded relations show off and swap insults. Nevertheless, the ghosts harbor a hush-hush respect the witches' unruliness, and it rears its head at just the right moment--when Wendy's about to be vaporized in Spellman's swirling vortex of doom. Were it not mildly fun to watch the trio of well-established older actresses suit up in witch costumes and crack wise, adults would find this film bordering on the unbearable. Kids, on the other hand, will want to set the record straight on its spook-tacularness. --Tammy La GorceHorror DVD Video
