An extremely clever concept that takes the "spares" in the royal equation and turns them into a superhero group. While hardly a blockbuster, this Disney+ movie occupies the upper tier of the kind of movies that have proved quite popular for Disney Channel. Read full review

The movie is full of the best bits of the kid-adventure genre — exciting and weird powers! Cool training montages! Intriguing plot! — but when it brings in heavier emotional stakes, the elements don’t quite gel. Read full review

Secret Society of Second-Born Royals is pure family-friendly fun, combining princesses and superheroes for a delightful, if unoriginal, adventure. Read full review

Nothing about this inert, dull project feels like a movie. It’s a half-idea, half-heartedly filmed. Yes, it’s a kids’ movie, but kids are smarter in 2020 about their action entertainment and putting this alongside all the Marvel movies on Disney Plus feels almost mean. Read full review

The most polished superpower on display in the defiantly unexciting Secret Society of Second-Born Royals is the ability to say its title without spitting. Read full review

It’s hard to tell if it’s deliberately targeting a certain demographic or just too sloppy and unsophisticated to work on anyone who’s learned to tell the difference in quality between “Cars” and “Planes.” Read full review

Thanks to Marvel, many films are trying to cash in on cape-and-spandex mania right now, but unlike the MCU, they look like crapola. If you’re going to make a superhero movie today, you gotta have a budget. “Secret Society,” perhaps, had Microsoft Paint. Read full review

It's a bad movie. The acting isn't good, the writing doesn't help and the budget wasn't very good either, but it is possible to enjoy (if you drastically lower your standards). If you want something nice to watch with your 7-12 year old kids, give it a watch to pass the time. Otherwise, lookIt's a bad movie.

Disney tries to make people believe that some of the original content they bring to Disney + has a better quality than what they produced for the Disney Channel, but the truth is that even if they change the presentation, the stench is unmistakable.

It has become obvious that Disney+ is largely a dumping ground for any inferior content generated either accidentally by Disney or intentionally (like in the heyday of their direct-to-video sequels).

Expecting SSoSBR to be good based on the trailer (which is more enjoyable than the movie) is foolish.
Predictable, dull, thin garbage. Seriously, do not be fooled, this was a waste of time.… Expand

Pero que carajo es esta cosa, no tiene ningún sentido ni razón de ser, lo peor que Disney ha sacado en años.
