Frozen 2 Review Roundup

14/11/2019

With it being firmly placed on our most anticipated animated films of 2019 list earlier this year, it's clear that we have high hopes for FROZEN 2. A hype that further intensified after the release of the film's first trailer. The first FROZEN wasn't the house of mouse best ever but, we got a wonderful enchanted world with great characters and great comedy/action. So, can Disney pull it off again? Or should we all just forget the hype and let it go? Here's the review roundup:  
VARIETY 
'As a sequel, “Frozen II” is locked into the look of the earlier film, whereas “Moana” took a step in the right direction, finding a three-dimensional equivalent for the studio’s classical animated characters. Maybe that’s a question of generational taste, as younger audiences plainly see themselves in Anna and Elsa, in both style and spirit. How fitting then, that writer-director Lee’s script reflects a more modernized set of values. In a world where old-timers accuse the youth of being oversensitive snowflakes, “Frozen II” shows what it means to have one’s heart in the right place.

VANITY FAIR
'Again, what Frozen 2 is trying to say directly to kids has definite value. And there is sweetness to be found throughout, especially in the way the movie articulates how understanding oneself is a constant process—the first film’s happily-ever-after only got these sisters so far, it turns out. But the project surrounding those sentiments has a wheezy, floundering inelegance. Plenty of children will find it special, I’m sure. And maybe that’s all that matters. From my coldhearted grownup perspective, though, Frozen 2 pushes itself out on its own ice floe and it’s all too easy to, well, let it go.'

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER 

'Certainly the overriding intent of Jennifer Lee’s script (she also solely wrote the first installment and co-directed both with Chris Buck) is to position Elsa as a serious role model/inspiration for girls and young women, a resilient, can-do, nothing-can-stop-me character able to overcome any challenge in her path. This she most certainly does, and a raft of co-story writers has joined in to try to stir the ingredients to the desired balance among drama, excitement, comedy, suspense, action and inspiration. The recipe is a good one, but you can feel all the fuss that went into it.'

SCREEN CRUSH
"Then there’s “Some Things Never Change,” which verbalizes the theme of transformation that runs through Frozen II. When I saw the first Frozen, I was married with no kids. Six years later, I have two daughters who have treated me (or subjected me, whatever) to approximately 400 viewings of Frozen and approximately 400,000 live renditions of “Let It Go.” It wasn’t until Frozen II began unfolding before me that it dawned on me how much I had unwillingly emotionally invested in these characters. Even with Frozen II’s problems, the ending affected me. Because some things do change. Even if they always remain Frozen."

DEN OF GEEK
'There are a lot of intriguing elements, but they feel muddled by a narrative that even with a half-decade to develop cannot fully justify continuing an already perfectly ended story. This finale is more bombastic now, but not as powerful as the magic cast by two sisters’ love being torn asunder back then. Still, Frozen II is a technical triumph, and for whatever its narrative missteps, it finds that earlier heart every time it returns to the bond of love, and the bond of sorrow, that connects its dual protagonists.'

Currently, the film has a respectful score of 84% from a total of 31 reviews over at rotten tomatoes. This is only a slight decrease from the 90% score of the original despite the general consensus among critics that part two is more of the same. So my hype for the films still burns.

Frozen 2 is in theaters this November 22.
