Moana 2 2024

★★½

Watched 03 Dec 2024

It’s kinda cute but it’s so mediocre when it’s compared to the first one, you know. A coconut’s spin off would be better than this for sure.

The film is confusing, repetitive, the script is weak, and at some point it was getting boring. The movie tries to pack in a lot of information and ideas, this overload ends up working against it. The rushed pacing makes it hard to explore key elements, leaving many plot points and new characters underdeveloped, which makes it hard for the audience to connect or fully understand some of the choices made. The songs are a collection of phrases without a chorus, shouted and jumped. The new characters didn't say what they came for. In short, a shame. 

But on the other hand it can be a solid family film, It's funny and might even get a few laughs, especially from children. The animation was lighter and prettier, but that's all “Moana 2” can offer.
