This movie proved that if movies like Starnge World and Wish were sequels they'd be box office hits. And honestly, they deserve it more than this one does. I had a really bad time watching this one in the theater though
I really appreciate how balanced this review was while still being downright honest. I think it's very easy to just crap all over a film when it does honestly suck, but I like that you still took the time to commend Barlow and Bear on their achievement, even if the crunched deadline they had prevented them from achieving more. And I love that you called out that Cravalho really is a phenomenal actress -- even when the material just isn't good, it's still clear that she gives it her all. So yeah, the film is undeniably a disappointment, but only because it could have been better given the talented people who did work on it. Awesome video, and I look forward to more!!
Didn't see the movie. Refuse to see it since them turning a long lasting effort for a tv series into a quick cinematic cashgrab is something I hate to encourage by contributing to it's (unfortunately already astounding) commercial success. However, what I hear about it, all matches the "it was supposed to be a tv series" territory: - The songs were clearly not supposed to be in the story originally. - The journey has no sense of urgency: there's no reason to "immediately" solve the central problem with just a vague threat of problems in the distant future, which results in pretty low stakes. However, this is perfect for a central plot line in a more episodic tv series. - The impact of the mini-adventures on Moana's arc could have been done well (not sure if it would be oc) if given a whole lot of episodes. A little bit like the first season of Amphibia, where the protagonist slowly and subtly evolves in the course of a season. - The other characters would have gotten some more development as well and a part to play in the protagonist's journey. - Apparently all of the different acts feel like summaries of different episodes. - The apparent climax to the movie could have served as a perfect climax to season 1; delivering increased tension around the central plot, a seeming resolution to it, only to then tease a raise of the stakes in a potential second season.... A shame that we never got this. Also sad for the original writers and creators of the show: all of their previous efforts being taken away just to serve as a financial bandage over Disney's annus horribilis.
can you do a review on Arcane S1 + S2 or separate videos, i love your vocabulary lol. i already have my opinions set on how i view the seasons but i love seeing other point of views
For me I think even if Disney makes more movies/films in the Moana franchise they should still do a tv series. I think the world of Moana there’s a lot of room to tell multiple storylines kinda like the Rio movies. Which I do wish Disney makes a Rio series after Rio 3 but about different characters in the Rio universe maybe a different blue macaw from Jewels tribe could have their own storyline. Edit: the Moana tv series could be about them traveling around meeting new demigods/gods/goddesses and fighting villains.
Yeah. They should have just made it a tv series
it was a tv series
