Absolutely the worst movie.
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
It is a awesome movie and I love it and so does my cousin
Usual Disney princess movie formula describes this movie: Step 1. Chose a theme and setting, Step 2. Start movie with Disney castle, netx add some conflict backstory, then go to characters child where they find something relating to the conflict, skip to the current age character with musical town intro, kill family member(s), character starts adventure with singing and leaves home. Step 3. Make middle part with more singing and adding characters (good and bad) (also esablish main threat) while main character goes to some places. Step 4. Add a sad or losing part for the main character. Step 5. Final sequence or fight where main character discovers something and then wins, then make final scenes where everything is better again, cut to credits.If you think you have seven this formula before in Disney movies you will know what to expect for this one. The theme is Pacific Islander this time. That is all that is different in this movie. Overall average
I was amazed! The astounding visuals compared with the surreally beautiful soundtrack make this a new favorite on my Disney list! The story is well written, paying an appropriate and accurate tribute to Polynesian culture. Moana breaks the mold in many ways. This is a must see!
It's your friendly neighborhood, well rounded Disney movie for sure. It's got some fun moments, with some nice catchy songs, and who knew that The Rock could sing so good? Got some beef with the large singing crab scene that I'll never be able to unsee, but it's Overall a great watch that kids and adults will love 7.5/10
