OH MY GOD!!! TAMATOA SHOWED UP DURING THE END CREDITS SCENE OF THIS FILM!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! SCHAFFRILLAS IS GOING TO LOSE HIS S*** WHEN HE SEES THIS!!! Oh and the movie was enjoyable.
Okay yes, this movie wasn’t as good as the original as I expected like the main villain isn’t not even in the movie until the end credits scene; and yes that’s one with the Tamatoa. The humor was a bit of mix bag, the pacing did felt kinda fast in some parts, and the songs aren’t as good as the ones in the original.
But at the same time, I did enjoy it. The animation looks great, not gonna lie. The voice acting is strong. I like some of the new characters and Moana and Maui are still likeable. Glad that Pua joined this time and a few the songs were actually pretty good.
Not as good as the original and I’m not gonna watch this as much as the first. But I still enjoyed it for what it is.
