Review of The Hunchback of Notre Dame II (2002) by Alejandro E — 11 Jun 2017

A pointless sequel to a fantastic movie! Then again, the same can be said for a lot of Disney sequels! But what makes The Hunchback Of Notre Dame II one of the worst straight-to-video sequels put out by Disney is that it took everything that made the first film great, and reduced it to a generic love story that's completely predictable from top to bottom, removed the dark tone, and replaced it with a lighthearted tone that makes the film more kid-friendly than anything else, took the grand looking animation of the first, and downgraded it to something that looks like it came from a really old TV show, and they took the lovable characters of the original and made them bland, uninteresting, and even unlikable.

It doesn't help either that the new characters added for this film aren't any better, especially with Sarousch who is such a lame, nonthreatening, and all around weak antagonist in comparison to that of Judge Frollo from the previous film.

The only thing I liked about this movie was Jennifer Love Hewitt's song that played during the end credits, which is "I'm Gonna Love You", but at the same time, that's what makes me hate this movie even more! It's a great song that could have been used for a movie that's so much better than this one! But nope! It was written for this film.

I hate this movie, and I'm done talking about it.
