Frozen 2 (1 Viewer)

Not true.  My wife & I had a two hour love making session, and our two year old sat and watched the whole time.

Wat

No two year old sits that long through anything. 

Mine just sat through the whole thing. He did great. Got a little tally in the middle but he was chill. 
 

Good movie. It was fine. 

 

[El Floppo]

We all saw it. 8& 12yos. 

Nowhere near as good as the first, but ok I guess. Loved the snowman's recap of frozen 1, otherwise forgettable imo, including the music.

Hmmm.... I'm surprised by this thread.  Saw it yesterday and thought it was significantly better than the 1st one and the music was significantly better as well.

For those that haven't seen it yet, the "scary/sad" part that started the endgame of the movie was traumatic for my 7 year old and other kids in theater. Audible sobbing. So be ready for that.

Let it go was/is iconic from the first second hearing. The snowman tune was super catchy too. A day later, and I couldn't hum or remember a bar of any of the songs from #2...not bad music, but nothing memorable.

The first had the advantage of creating the characters, so their arcs were compelling and interesting, which made the movie and story compelling and interesting. Not much for them to do this time, other than tell the story, so it felt distinctly inferior to the first. Not bad, but just inferior.

This was the consensus among the kids at my Thanksgiving. They all loved it, thought it was way better than the original, and had seen it multiple times already.

My kids didn’t like it as much as the first, but still really liked it. The adults were ‘meh’

IMO, the first movie was so highly regarded because of the music and Olaf.  I think I liked the storyline better in 2 but the music was a whole lot of meh for me.  I mean, that whole song/scene with Kristoff seemed like a spoof of a Queen music video.  I was like, “are they serious with this?”

Olaf was the best part again. I’d give it an IMDB 6.5 - they are going to sell a #### ton of those chameleon toys. (Or whatever it was the Fire spirit was)

Agreed completely, except both my wife and I thought the spoof was the entire point.  Which was kind of great. 

But yeah, the music doesn't come close to the first one.

Had to have been a spoof...which made it fun.

I’ll give them props if it was intentional- seems unlike Disney though.  That’s more a Dreamworks type move.

Thanks.

Couldn’t have done it without my teammates, though. We’re going to take it one movie at a time.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Eventually they'll look behind the curtain.

Went this weekend with a 4&7 year old who both loved it. I thought it was really well paced with an exciting plot and agree with the Olaf love here. Lots of little jokes for the parents too.

The music was good but there was definitely nothing like ‘Let it Go’.

Overall well worth the price of admission.

I’m going to preemptively give myself a  but I listened to the soundtrack while running recently.  I liked it much better in isolation and in retrospect, I think I underrated it.

I don't think there is anything on the level of Let it Go or Do you Wanna Build a Snowman or even Love is an Open Door on this soundtrack.   Granted, it hasn't stopped the 4 year old from listening to Frozen 2 3-4 times a day, but for me Somethings Never Change is about the only one from the new soundtrack that comes close to pulling me in, and I sang along to just about everything from the first one.

Definitely agree that 1 >> 2 but 2 is not as bad as was thinking after watching the movie.

Wife took my 4 yr old.  She hasn't been sleeping very good lately and says she is scared.  After reading this thread, maybe the movie had something to do with that.

My two year old is obsessed with Elsa’s Aurora (Into the Unknown)...

My wife is also obsessed with it and listens to both the Elsa and Panic at the Disco versions.

My kids didn't want to see the movie (Son 17, Daughter 15) so the Mrs. and I went by ourselves to one of those theatres that serves food and beer.  I agree that the story was better with the second, but it isn't like the original was a slouch in the story department either so that's a good thing.
