i kind of wish disney had just let it go all awful puns aside frozen 2 was very very
different and not at all what i was expecting so it's directed by chris buck and jennifer lee
who directed the first frozen film i like many people thought frozen was incredible mind-blowing
really quite innovative for disney with a lot of the visuals and i was quite happy to see frozen
too i wasn't really excited about it i watched a couple of people's reviews and thought i'm still
not really like overjoyed for this but i'm going to settle my curiosity by watching it and i did
and uh it's it's it's difficult because on the one hand it's beautiful on the other
hand it's a rubbish sequel so we have quite a contained number of characters here anna elsa
christoph olaf and sven go off in search of an enchanted forest
because elsa's powers feel a calling and we get a lot of backstory here and there are
certain elements with their parents which and their ancestry which i found very interesting
and this little quest was was great you know we the first film established the characters here we
get to have a deeper look into their backstory so in that respects the narrative was a good choice
for a sequel where i don't like it or where i feel like it isn't a good sequel is that it's
much darker and yes a lot of sequels are darker but this one there was no really light relief and
i feel like if a young child loves frozen and then they're going to go and watch frozen too
the experience is completely different it's not as happy it's not as bright and colorful all of
the anna's not wearing any bright clothing in this one elsa's outfit is not the bright blue as it was
from the first film so it's it's very different and i think that if children are expecting
one thing i.e frozen they get they get frozen too which to me feels more like just a modern
day version of black cauldron in terms of the atmosphere and the mood that it delivers
it does it very well but as a sequel i don't think it was the right decision so
i was expecting more of the bright frosty white that we get in the first film but you know it
once i remove myself from the first film and kind of analyze it as an independent narrative
it was good it was fine i enjoyed it for the most part characters um in this one i actually
really like kristoff he kind of bugged me in the first film but i think the way they handled his
character he was really good elsa elsa was kind of mute she was very bland not much going on
there um but it wasn't like it's not a bad thing but it's not a good thing it's just a thing anna
bugged me completely i was going to swear there but i shan't she was annoying obnoxious
insane stupid just i wanted to slap her on several occasions but thankfully that was not
so severe that it kind of hindered my enjoyment or moderate enjoyment of the rest of the film
uh sven was great olaf olive kind of had a back seat here but he did need to be in it and he
did have a few kind of adorable little moments the one thing i needed from this was a good soundtrack
and what do i say eh that is fairly unmemorable certainly compared to the first frozen soundtrack
where i'm saying after the first time i watched frozen i was singing those songs constantly i
was on youtube listening to them with frozen two there's only one song in it that i have listened
to again and admittedly i've listened to it quite a lot and that's into the unknown which is kind of
the darker version of let it go it's elsa's main solo and it's probably the most powerful song
i'd feel i feel uh from the film into the unknown was great but it's so good that it
kind of makes up for the lack of decency in the other songs there are a couple that i thought
were a bit meh but for the most part pretty memorable so would i recommend frozen two
yeah sure give it a go i don't think you'd regret the time spent watching it certainly i don't i'm
pleased i've seen it and it gave me into the unknown which i'm very happy with but just don't
expect it to be anything like the first one on its own a good film as a sequel bit of a let down
