Just saw a screening of this for free as a friend of mine had won a couple of tickets to go see it. I'm quite a fan of modern day animated movies, I like Wreck it Ralph, Toy Story and Monsters Inc etc but i wasn't the greatest fan of the original Frozen movie. Sure it had its moments but it wasn't one of the best ones out there. Just ok.
Having just come back from seeing this one, it's more of the same but seems to have less charm and there's almost zero for adults to enjoy. At least with movies like the ones i just mentioned, they're loads of fun for kids but also have a lot of adult humour in there to keep the parents entertained. There's very little in this one that you can say that about, it's so safe and tame that anyone over 6 or 7 years old will quickly get bored.
Frozen 2 seems like a cash grab to me, the story is less fun, it feels like it written in a few days, the jokes are, for the most part, terrible and the songs are just awful, headache inducing. Don't get me wrong, the main song in the first one has become famous for making parents worldwide, tear thier hair out everytime they hear it. But when it first came out, it was a charming song to listen to every now and then (not, however, on repeat for hours and hours like most parents had to endure). In Frozen 2, none of the songs are remotely fun enough for kids to want to play them over and over, so i think parents may be spared the same fate this year.
Overall, I found this film to be quite dull and I was glad when it finished, the snowman, Olav or Olaf or something, has a few funny lines but they're only that, a few, it's colourful, noisy and I am sure younger children will absolutely love it, but for the poor adults taking them and even for slightly older kids, there's very little here of interest.
Save your money for something else to entertain your young ones for the day, it will be money better spent.
