I feel like this movie, has so many people who are obsessed with it, that there are an equal number of people who feel obliged to hate it because to balance them out.
The movie follows the princess orphan and not-at-all cliche character of Anna, who must bring back summer after her magic sister Elsa freezes everything with her magic. Along the way she works with a large cast of character including another orphan (yes, there are three of them in this movie), a reindeer and a talking snowman.
I don't think that this film deserves all of the praise it gets. I also don't think it deserves all of the hate. It's a decent movie, it's just not that great.
The plot is filled with cliches, which gets a bit annoying when what you knew was about to happen happens a bunch of times during the course of the movie. It's so predictable that there's even one song per sequence.
The characters are cute and it did make me chuckle in a few places. It definitely tries to play off of nostalgia from movie like Lion King and... um... okay, just Lion King. In this, it does a good job. A lot of people are a fan of it's songs, not me personally but a lot of people like them. It's hard to hate it too much, it's just a kid's movie. It's not insultingly bad, like Smurfs 2 but it's just not too super as a movie if you ignore the intended age demographic.
A quick note before I give my overall and reference scale: This is my last post for a week. I'm going out of town and won't have internet access, so I'll post as soon as I can when I get back. I'll miss it, but I posted twice today and yesterday so I hope that will make it up to all you readers.
Overall: 2.5 out of 4 stars. It's cliched, but it's a kid's movie. That said, you could better spend that 102 minutes watching The Iron Giant.
Reference scale:
Tangled < Frozen < Wreck it Ralph
