The general consensus among them is "It's not necessary, it's inferior to the first, so it's bad." If you ask me, I DISAGREE STRONGLY. Is it necessary and better than the original? No, but that does not mean it's bad. Frozen 2 is by and large a good movie, easily the best Disney has brought out this year. (But given the competition from their awful, lifeless, forgettable, truly unnecessary remakes, that's not so hard to achieve.) I'll avoid spoilers because far too many instagram pages have been leaking this movie all over the place, but here's what I'll say. Frozen 2 is an evolution from the first, kind of like how Toy Story 3 is an evolution from the first two. It's darker, more heartfelt, full of some tense moments, but there's also plenty of great comedy to balance things out. Questions from the first one are answered, but there's also some new ones brought up. It's not as simple and easy to follow as the first, but it compensates by still being very good. In terms of comparing this to other stuff from this year I've seen, it's not better than How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, but I honestly prefer this to Toy Story 4. And of course, I'll take this over any of those cheap remakes any day. At the end of the day, this return trip to arendelle is a worthwhile one.… Expand

The stakes aren't very high in this sequel to the Disney classic, the songs not that memorable, and the plot is weak at best. All in all, though well animated and acted, it feels more like a cash grab.

I don't think anybody expects any less in that regard. The most of the film the story is great and doesn't slow down once it gets going. The first two acts are incredible and beat the original film for me. The third act is where this movie stumbles. The climax feels a bit to quick with some strange character choices. It's almost as if they cut a small chunk out of the film. It doesn't ruin the movie but it does leave you not being fully satisfied. The songs are as great as ever and will be stuck in your head for months. Even with the third act being a bit off, Frozen 2 delivers a great sequel that will leave fans pleased.… Expand

First off, this is one of the BEST looking animated movies of all time. It is simply gorgeous looking. The visuals have an excellent use of color and nature. I love that they decided to set this in autumn, which is something you don't often see in animated films. In contrast to the more traditional fairy tale look of the last film, this one is far grander looking. The appearance of the kingdom of Arendelle in this makes the original look so-so.

Frozen II feels so different from any other Disney animated film. There are plenty of those that do fantasy, but this is the first one (except maybe for The Black Cauldron) to go for EPIC fantasy. I really loved the various legitimately challenging magical forces the characters have to deal with.

The story looks into how Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) has her powers and I really liked the setup and the messages they were trying to tell. This is actually one of the more serious Disney animated films. (By their standards. Don't worry there's still plenty for your kids to love.) There are a couple surprisingly dark, dramatic moments. (Again, by Disney standards.)

Based on the trailers, I was afraid that comic relief Olaf the snowman (voiced by Josh Gad) wouldn't fit into the change of tone on account of being too light, but the writers adapted the character really well. They have him growing up and being far more philosophical about the world (while still being pure). His musings often steal the show. I actually thought he was funnier in this than the last film.

I did think this movie had some pacing issues. The plot just isn't as tight as the first one. There are moments where the writer didn't know how to best utilize the main characters. I do wish they spent more time interacting with a couple of the film's likable but underused new supporting characters.

Songs are decent but aren't on the same tier as the last film. Half are just okay. The song Into the Unknown tries too hard to be the new Let it Go. Still, I give the songwriters credit for going with a new style not found in previous Disney films. I liked Show Yourself, Lost in the Woods, and All is Found. The last one is a particularly lovely piece.

This isn't quite as good as the original, which knew more what it wanted to be and had a stronger emotional backbone. Still, this has a lot going for it and I think your kids will like it.… Expand

The characters we can't help but grow to love are all there, but unfortunately I feel that the script is confused at times and conflicts in the script are what we are supposed to take as conflicts within/between the characters and I personally don't find that this was the intended effect. The plot is somewhat vague, if not inaccessible at times and this leaves me sour on the character's exact motivations. The songs are again, what you would expect in the best way, but I personally feel that the film lacks it's Let It Go moment that made the first film the success it is. My favorite song in the film was actually Kristof's number, a well earned one after his very short song in the first film. I think families and children will enjoy this, but I think you may end up with far more children pestering adults on what was actually happening in the film than is intended.… Expand

The animation? Beyond amazing, the best looking animated movie from this year by far. (Sorry How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, it had to be said.) The story and messages? Much darker than the first, and possibly one of the studios darkest in general. I consider it on par with Toy Story 3 in that regard. I could talk about everything else, but I can't get in too deep without talking spoilers and I don't wanna spoil it for anyone. As someone who cannot stand those actually-awful live action remakes from this year, Frozen II was a solid reminder that Disney can still make great stuff.… Expand

This could beFirst of all, from my last review everybody knows I’m not the biggest fan of the music from the first movie, mainly due to being overplayed and just annoying in my opinion, but this movie’s music I can admit I really enjoyed it. This could be because I don’t expect people to be singing “Into the Unknown” as much as “Let it Go” but no I actually really enjoyed the music and I think it’s because not just one song had a message but a couple of them did. Although, I will admit there are 2 songs that could have been cut out because they kind of just brought the film to a halt. The score, once again done by Christophe Beck, was even a tiny bit better in this movie. The animation in this film, in my opinion, surpasses that of the first. There were so many shots in this film that were just gorgeous to look at and I wanted to see more of them. As much as I’m praising there are somethings that still bugged me about this movie like inconsistences in the film that bugged me, one thing is even in the trailer. This movie definitely took what was good about the first movie and tried to make that same magic again and sometimes it worked like with the songs but in other, it didn’t such as, with the plot twists. There are two “plot twists” if you can call them that because most people over the age of twelve can figure them out, in this movie and I get why we had them but at the same time they weren’t as good as with Hans from the first. Once again, the voice cast in this is incredible from everybody and I love how they actually gave them character growth. In the end, Frozen 2 is a great family movie and a good follow up to the first. If you enjoyed the first one, you’ll probably like this one.… Expand

As of writing, it has exceeded the box office take of the original. Let's get to the good part: gorgeous, stunning animation and stellar production values, incomparable to any studios in the world. Yet like Toy Story 4, its plot feels contrived and 'forced'. You can literally feel the Production team struggling to'top up' the original. For instance,'Let it Go' was the breakout hit for Elsa in the original, let's have her belt TWO anthems...sadly never reaching that 'lightning in the bottle' quality of the original. Nevertheless, only Disney can do his type of thing, and it will be on children's streaming playlist ad nauseaum, to the detriment of parents everywhere.… Expand

IN this one, somehow all characters lack of some identity. There was much more "I love you", "I won't let you go alone", "I will be with you" and other phrases, which means nothing if they are repeated hundred times, without reason. For example you are not just following your other half whole day and repeating how much you love him/her and making a story out of this. Somehow I didn't feel any development in any character. Olaf was the best one, because at least he was fun. I hope that if they make Frozen 3, they will put much more though in improving their main heroes, by putting some reasoning behind all their actions. As well, there wasn't any really good song, which you will remember out of this movie. that was really weak unfortunately. Nothing to compare with "Let it go" for example. And actually there was a bit more songs than needed.… Expand

Personally, I found it much better than the first one, which I still enjoyed quite a lot. I think most of the criticism of the movie come from the fact that people liked the first one so much that they feel the need to criticize this one just for the fun of it.

Yes it's music may not be as earwormy as the first soundtrack but it's music is used so cleverly and impactfully. Olaf is as funny as ever with not one joke failing and even has a somewhat catchy song. The movie started off warmly but you could feel the metaphorical storm brewing which was a nice touch. Kristoff is as worthless as ever though, only being likeable in his solo "Lost In The Woods" which I even thought was a little too corny. Anna is the most important as ever though, she impacts the story in very unique and big ways. She had to make tough decisions even if it was risky or seemed wrong. She truly feels like a peer to Elsa now and not the powerless sister. Yes there are some shortcomings for sure, I think we just didn't see enough character development with the new human characters.

My favourite thing about theIt is an absolutely beautiful sequel, very different take from the first, I dare to say a more mature view on the world of Arendelle. The Animations is stunning, I have never seen so beautiful water in my life. My favourite thing about the movie is its humour, it's great and ageless, no matter how old you are, you will have genuine, wholehearted laughs throughout the film. The music is most enchanting, Idina is still the perfect cast for Elsa and Kristien Bell is just a delight to listen to. I had a rush of joy that this time they gave Johnathan Groff, and he could once again take the piss at romantic pop music (everyone familiar with Hamilton will know he is great at that). My main complaint is that the music was obviously with intent written around the musical motif of a siren's call, and this made the songs blend with each other too much, the differences didn't pop as much, but they are still ... so good. The Anna-Elsa-Kristoff three wayed journey is a very well written story about them having to learn from each other in order to overcome the challenges so that their family can endure. There is an obvious colonial undertone, but I believe it's perfectly reasonable to just focus on the message of responsibility while following the Queen of Arendelle on her 2- movie journey to learn to rely on others and not to take the weight of the world on her shoulders. The three story arcs remind me of Elphaba, Glinda and Fiyero. Olaf is a homage to the first movie, while he also symbolises the maturing tones. So to give my final verdict: Is it as good as the first one about fear, duty, love and shame? No. Did it still have me spellbound? Absolutley yes. Now go see it.… Expand

I like this sequel better than the first one. The first one to me was mediocre, like the second one because it has better story and better humor.

With how successful the first movie was, of course they would have to make a second one, but the first film had some qualities that makes a follow-up very difficult. The fact that Frozen is known for its music virtually forced them to make more music, but no other children's musical ever had a successful follow-up, did it? Usually the good follow-ups are movies that focused primarily on plot and world building like Toy Story. Frozen was never good because of its plot, really, it was always more of a spectacle of song and emotion. It also wasn't made to have a sequel, as nobody thought it would do this well.

In any case, what we got with Frozen 2 was more song, spectacle, and emotion. When people dissect movies, they often fall into the pitfall of judging a movie as if it were a novel. Of course most movies fail by this standard. If you look at the whole package of visuals, performances, emotions, and excitement, Frozen 2 has all of those things, and does them all as well as anything else.

Since I'm reviewing this well after its release, I can comment on some things I've seen in other reviews. In particular: I've seen people talking about themes with indigenous people. I disagree that these themes exist to the point that the movie's creators could tell me about it, and I'd still say they were wrong. The people from Arendelle are medieval, without much technology. The people decribed as being indigenous have powerful magic, and Arendelle is shown to be AFRAID of their power. This is power that obviously is very fearsome, which is the entire basis for this franchise. The magic in these movies can being a whole country to its knees. The magic from ONE woman can do that, in fact. That's the basis of the entire plot of Frozen. Therefore, Frozen II is more about the fact that killing people is wrong even if you have a legitimate reason to fear them. Not about being nice to natives or whatever.

Anyway, I'm taking off a couple points for the fact that the movie is a little bit confusing for kids to follow and that the plot could probably be a bit better. I considered giving it a 7, but I gave it back a point because I feel that the franchise is now in a much better position to continue with creating better stories, giving the sisters a more well definted identity and path in life going forward.… Expand

I mostly just got sick of hearing it all the time (if I had a dollar for every time I heard 'Let it Go' and 'Do You Wanna Build a Snowman' sung or played everywhere!) But even so, it felt rife with predictability and cliches/tropes that we've seen time and again in past Disney princess movies. And while this film seemed to ditch some of those thankfully, I still couldn't help but feel a little underwhelmed with what I saw, although... I will actually say that I ended up liking this one slightly better than the first, of not by much. The animation looks spectacular as expected. Storywise, it felt a bit uninspired to me, as we follow Anna and Elsa discovering a hidden part of their land with family history tied to them, and I can't help but feel like I've seen this in other animated sequels before (the 'How to Train Your Dragon' sequels come to mind for me.) But overall, despite some of these shortcomings, it does have great visuals and even some pretty epic music, along with a slightly more inspired story than in the first one. And it was overall just pretty fun and cute to watch.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had a blast the while time watching this. All of the songs were great and the plot had a good pace. My only complaint is that they didn't go into more depth on the spirits. Like what's with the physical representations of the spirits but we never actually hear or see the spirits themselves. And why the heck the heck didn't the trolls say something because they knew the truth from the beginning.… Expand

Sequels can be tricky to make, they can also be tricky to make when the predecessor is so massively successful, you feel the pressure of not pleasing your audience in the end. That is the kind of pressure I imagine that co-writers andSequels can be tricky to make, they can also be tricky to make when the predecessor is so massively successful, you feel the pressure of not pleasing your audience in the end. That is the kind of pressure I imagine that co-writers and co-directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee must have felt when they were making 'Frozen II', the Disney animated sequel to the highly successful and generally loved 'Frozen' (2013). We see our main characters return, Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) is settling in just fine since becoming the Queen of the Arendelle kingdom, her sister Anna (Kristen Bell) also seems happy with the way life is going alongside Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and Olaf (Josh Gad). However, things start to get strange when Elsa hears a mysterious voice calling to her that nobody else hears. Anna is concerned for her older sister, and tries to make sense of what's going on as Elsa fears that the kingdom could be in danger. When Anna and Elsa were kids, they heard a story from their parents about a mysterious and enchanted land full of magic that saw a great war brewing among its people. Elsa thinks that this voice calling to her could lead to answers regarding her parents and her powers. The film might do a good job at entertaining long-time fans who have become obsessed with the original film, as they'll see their favorite characters go on a more exciting journey to uncover some secrets. The pacing of the film - especially towards the middle - can feel a little slow at times, and the songs (once again written by Oscar winners Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez) aren't as catchy as the ones from the previous film (but still fun nonetheless). The film, for the most part, feels passable until the ending, whether or not this is where you see the characters go, your response to it will say a lot about that. Overall, this is worth checking out if you are a 'Frozen' fanatic.… Expand

This was a film that could have played it safe and still been wildly successful, but there are interesting themes and admirable craft at work here.

In the end, Frozen II amounts to a gorgeously animated, strongly performed, and surprisingly mature sequel. Whether you enjoyed the first Frozen or not, this is another Arendelle adventure worth taking.… Expand

Great animation, great music, great new anthems, great voice-acting and great story telling. For the second time around Elsa will bring great changes to the world by a sudden emotional surge that expresses itself through the impressive results of an outburst of uncontrolled creative power. Frozen II sends the viewer through a holistic journey for the soul/mind in which each character represents an archetype fighting for survival and evolution just to end up understanding that the only constant in all of the aspects of existence is change and in consequence the search is no longer poised for survival but for necessary death and rebirth. Themes of manipulation and exploitation of the indigenous peoples, the environment and politics are all too visible throughout the movie which then goes on to propose a solution: acknowledgment of our faults, of our debt to our very origin and then utter and complete surrender and sacrifice to right every wrong. Frozen II is a powerful invitation into reflection and change...… Expand

A cynical critic might call this a blatant cash-grab, or a vain attempt to recapture lightning in a bottle by capitalizing on the success of the first movie, but anyone who’s paid even a little bit of attention should know that that’s already been done. Elsa and Anna have been absolutely everywhere between 2013 and 2019, so that success has already been capitalized on plenty. If the only incentive was money, this movie would not have been necessary – there was clearly a story left to tell and they wanted to tell it.

Sequels rarely ever come close to the level of the original, and Frozen II is no exception, but it delivers an enjoyable experience nonetheless. I’ve always been a geek for the world-building aspects of Arendelle and this movie expanded on it greatly by showing us a bit more of the land’s history and what lies beyond the castle. I loved this. The movie also gave all of our favorite characters plenty of time to shine and everyone had their own comedic and heartfelt moments.

My only critique would be the ending and the lead-up to it, which I felt was a bit rushed and… nonsensical. It happens all the time with movies like this; they get a riveting story going on, but when the time comes to wrap things up, they struggle to come up with a satisfying ending. The first movie was so well-paced and the quality stayed consistent from start to finish, so it was a bit disappointing to see them not quite hit it out of the park this time.

I hope that, despite the impending sea of cynics, they make another movie someday to bring this series to a close as a satisfying trilogy of movies. I think revisiting the conflict with Hans in The Southern Isles (and by doing so giving the characters as well as the viewers closure on his fate) could serve as a great stage for the finale, but we’ll have to see what they cook up.… Expand
