Ah shit, here we go again. Frozen 2 is the sequel to Frozen, which came out 6 years ago. It tells the story of all the main characters from the first movie going to an enchanted autumn bound forest to find the origin of Elsa's powers to save their kingdom. There has been so much surrounding this movie, because of how beloved the first movie was. I wasn't that hyped for this due to the fact that I only found the first one to be okay and Disney has not been impressing me this year. For movies, Disney only had 2 good ones this year in my opinion, Avengers: Endgame and Toy Story 4. Frozen 2 is unfortunately another dud by Disney in 2019. I did not enjoy this movie, and that is mainly due to the plot. This movie has a very uninteresting, boring plot, and this movie is ungodly boring. The story was never engaging, some characters are either useless or boring or annoying. I almost fell asleep a few times throughout this movie. Let's get into some characters shall we? Elsa as a character is even worse here than she was in the first one, Elsa in the first one was just very underdeveloped, Elsa in this film has to be with Anna in order for her to be remotely interesting. Like the great Jeremy Jahns says, Elsa is basically a boring goth girl. Anna is by far the best character in the movie, she is just so full of life and is actually a fun character. Kristof is fucking useless, he has a bunch of cringe worthy scenes involving wanting to propose to Anna, but of course something happens to make him not just fucking do it. He has also the worst, most forgettable song in the movie, and then after his song is over, he fucks off and stays gone until the final act comes along where they finally make him useful just because it's convenient to the script. And finally, fucking Olaf. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! I FUCKING HATED HIM IN THIS MOVIE! Olaf was fine in the first film, he did his part in the first one perfectly fine. In this fucking thing, I wanted to take a fucking blowtorch and fucking just use it on him until he turns into a fucking puddle. SPOILER ALERT: Olaf does melt at one point in the movie but instead of making normal movie critics like me happy, they decide to pander to little brat kids and bring him back. Fucking entitled little shits. Lastly, this film felt super anticlimactic. It feels like it just ends out of nowhere. Now after all the bitching about this movie sucking ass, was there anything I liked? A few things. The animation here is fucking great! Of course I liked Anna, she's the best character as I mentioned before. There are a few neat action scenes. The 3D was well utilized. The movie is not badly made. I did somewhat like a couple songs. That's about it. In the end, you should just stick with the first film, the first film is 100x the film this one is. This movie is just boring, lifeless, passionless. Although it's a far better female led movie than Charlie's Angels.
