Review of Frozen II (2019) by Shadowstrike1 — 28 Nov 2019

Frozen 2 dives into the mystery and origin of the main characters, which is something the audience can really get into. The jokes are plentiful, and Olaf really delivers great comedy in just about every conversation he’s involved in. What hurts the film is the abundance of forgettable songs crammed in At every turn. The songs in this film were emotional, and fitting to the theme of the situation, but they certainly won’t be songs you’ll be singing aloud in your car, or hear young kids bellow for years to come. There is no “Let It Go” or “Love Is An Open Door” level song here. Aside from musical complaints and rushed ending, it’s hard to feel happy with how the characters are left at the end of the film. Sadly, this seems to follow the same curse as other “#2” Disney sequels. Not bad, but not great. Hopefully a third film can come in and bring things back.

Overall, an enjoyable film. It’s just surprising that Disney didn’t put a bit more effort into such a flagship franchise to ensure it would resonate for another half decade like the first film.
