Review:
After not typing a movie review since March, when the whole Coronavirus began, I've decided to start watching the movies that I have bought. For some unknown reason, I haven't been interested in films during the pandemic, which is weird because this is the best time to watch them, but with my backlog growing, I think it's time to return to reviewing the hits and flops of 2020. As I wasn't a big fan of the first Frozen movie, especially the annoying song, I wasn't over-excited about watching this film. Personally, I found the singing annoying, and the songs extremely corny, but as the movie is aimed at a younger audience, I'm sure they enjoyed it. I did like some of the new characters, and the animation is the usual high Disney standard, but I still ended up sleeping through some of the movie. The writers did try to add adult themes, like the 5 elements and the family back story, but it wasn't enough to make the movie interesting. Like the first film, Olaf did make me chuckle in places, and some of the magical scenes were impressive but I cringed every time the characters burst into song. By the end of the film, it seemed like I just wasted 2 hours of my life because there weren't any memorable moments that stuck out in my mind. Anyway, after waiting nearly 4 months to review a movie, I must admit, it wasn't a great start. Disappointing!
Round-Up: This movie was directed by Chris Buck, who also brought you Frozen, Surf's Up and the 1999 version of Tarzan. After the success of the first movie, it was good to see the original director return for the sequel, but he made a complete shambles of it. Personally, I think the profit is based on the success of the first film, and after reading many reviews, I can see that a lot of people were also disappointed. With that aside, Disney is laughing all the way to the bank, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a 3rd instalment.
Budget: $150million Worldwide Gross: $1.45billion
Genre: Animation, Adventure, Comedy, Family, Fantasy, Musical Cast: Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad, Jonathan Groff, Sterling K. Brown, Evan Rachel Wood, Alfred Molina, Martha Plimpton, Jason Ritter, Rachel Matthews, Jeremy Sisto, Ciaran Hinds and Alan Tudyk. 3/10
