Excellent, Without a doubt!!
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
May be spoilers Wow. People have no idea how to enjoy classic Disney for what it is. This has all the hallmarks of a feel good, mostly great acted, stunningly choreographed Disney film that is based on beloved characters. The costumes are based on them and supposed to look that way, and it's supposed to be charmingly cheesy. It's based on Cartoons and childhood stories.) It's also not a drama, and it was leaps and bounds above the first one. Yes, the dragon was annoyingly fake, and there were places where it was slow, but there were so many good song and dance sequences. I still can't believe they pulled off dancing on a water stage. It has the feel of a live WDW stage production.
Hmmm where to start? The story was poorly written, The dialogues were weak, The design looked like I was watching a school play, The "special effects" sucked! But.. The actors were good, The singing was amazing (Chillin' Like a Villain), The dancing was great, It was funny though and the colours were popping. Although I read that the budget was way insufficient. Whats happening Disney? P.S. my mom watches movies and she said to me"What is this?" She just couldn't grasp the concept or story (neither did I).
The film picks up where the last on leaves off. There is no introduction of characters or any kind or recap of the events. Our teens are starting to "couple up" with Mal having second thoughts and some self-esteem issues. In this chapter Disney takes a stab at diversity. The famous evil parents are not in this movie and we have a baby Hook who was more inspired by Johnny Depp than Captain Hook. The music was more hip-hop and I didn't enjoy it as much as the original, even though the choreography was spot on.I thought the plot was a miss. They certainly could have done a better job there. It seems like this production may be nothing more than a connection type of movie with the promise of the next feature being much better. It sure did end that way. The opening made me hungry for candy apples.
I love it was a great squeal to a great movie it was fast passed it never got boring the choreography was amazing the final scene of them dancing in the water was so beautiful and singing and rapping was amazing loved every song the cast has amazing voices and the sets and outfits were so detailed and unique the acting was great they were so good at portraying emotion and the visual effects were good except for the fireworks.
