Max LivingstoneThis week, I watched three pairs of Disney live-action movies: *George of the Jungle*, *Hocus Pocus*, *Maleficent* and their lone sequels. In all three cases, I've seen the first movie before, but wanted to refresh my memory – and see if I'd end up liking them any more or less. If you're curious, I give them 7/10, 4/10 and 4/10 respectively. Now I'll attach my fifty-word reviews of the sequels as replies here.
*George of the Jungle 2* (2003).
A cheap, terrible sequel in every respect. The CGI is atrocious, only a couple of actors return, every plot beat is utterly clichéd, and instead of having fun with kids like the first movie did, this one sardonically talks down to them. The only positive is that it's mercifully short.
My rating: 15%.
