Disenchanted

melly_loveee shared a tip "The beginning and ending of the movie was good, but the whole middle of the film was not it for me. I was excited for this movie since I liked the first one as a kid growing up, but in this new movie they took so many steps back from the first film and ruined her character development from the first film."

mia_corkum shared a tip "This would make a good option for a cute family movie night. I like that they brought back as many actors and actresses that they could. It's impressive they were able to pull of a sequel 15 years after the first movie."

caleigh_knight shared a tip "It's not what I hoped, but it is good. Enchanted was always something special that threw cliches to the wind and enhanced them. It was one of the first satires Disney truly accomplished. Then when I heard it's sequel was going to throw away the happily ever after I lost all hope for it to be good. Then I watched it. It was incredibly predictable. It's definitely not the best or the best sequel but it is fulfilling. I salute the fact that they managed to scround up all the actors. Well except the henchmen from the first movie. At first I was truly mad they were doing the grumpy annoying teen thing. But then it got better. I mean she had clear reasons to be upset I just hated the feeling of them pushing that cliche on her. The cinematography is truly incredible as well. So many shots are stunning. As well as the magical effects and just straight effects. You can tell the budget was high. Except for those outfits at the end. I could see the effort in them and could tell they had drive when making them but they were too much. Most of them were just straight up ugly. The only bad thing I truly have with it is the ending. Yes it was incredibly predictable but not in a good way. Honestly Edward could've been in the ending. He just needed to get knocked out somehow then it would've worked. Instead they threw him to the side to be convenient. Lazy writing. They still could've had the Morgan part which we all knew was coming, the writers just needed to be a bit more creative. Despite all the critiques though it was a decent movie on its own. Some characters clearly had bigger parts due to recent successes and other characters were needlessly pushed to the side for women empowerment. I do enjoy the memories have power and they avoided the true love part. I liked that for the first movie & the memories for this one. I do recommend you watching it if you liked Enchanted. But don't expect greatness, just enjoy the ride & try not to cringe at the early songs."

emily98 shared a tip "Okay my marshmallows peeps we have another review. Do I like it ? Or not ? Ehhh I have no idea. I love some of the songs within the film, good work done on those. I don’t really get why chip was telling stories in the beginning of film but as soon as then film ended they didn’t go back to the future with chip ending out the film? At times the film just felt super long as well, I don’t remember how long the run is, but it just felt long. Did they really need the baby in the story ? Idk. Also alot of singing compared to the first one too. Would I watch it again ? I don’t think so. With Disney nothing beats the first one especially when their older films were created in a different kind of era and year , creativity for them and also the world we lived in."

eXlo shared a tip "I honestly expected there to be a bit more Maya Rudolph in this movie. At the very least they could've given Yvette Nicole Brown more lines. The "evil trio" felt like they were barely there"

chena shared a tip "Giselle brings the rest of her fairy tale magic to our world this time. However, things go wrong and a new hero must emerge. I loved the first one so of course the second one was family filled fun! Lots more singing and I really liked the plot they went with for Giselle in this sequel. Cuddle with up with the kiddoes and enjoy!"

LaDoniaMonica shared a tip "What a beautiful blending of roses and rot in Mylantaville 😉. That's what this film was more for me. I couldn't take my eyes off the perfect balance of the pink cottage and bright flowers and dresses, mixed with the dark, gothic, villainous vibes. It's what my inner little girl dreams are made of. What a whimsical sequel plus Idina Menzel at her rightful place IN the movie. Perfection."

hannahbear9624 shared a tip "Really disappointing. The name "Disenchanted" really speaks for itself, as it wasn't nearly as 'enchanting' as the first movie. I can't count how many times I've watched and throughly enjoyed the original. I loved that Disney rounded up the original cast, but thats about all the pros I can think of for this movie. It only peaked my interest within the last 20 minutes, which is when all the action occurred. The rest of the movie was slow moving, and quite honestly boring. The simplicity of the original was what really drew many in, myself included. I feel Disney just tried too hard on this one."

miranda_r0 shared a tip "The first half is sooo slow. Way too many Giselle ballads. The second half picks up and gets significantly more interesting as the Broadway style songs are far more spaced out. Speaking of, some great Broadway cameos. The real star of the movie are the stunning costumes, even more than the original Enchanted wardrobe."

amy_slazyk shared a tip "Probably one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. The first one was soooo good. Had high hopes. Guess some things should not have a sequel."

gracecorinne shared a tip "The original enchanted is my all time favorite movie, and this was just a let down for me. If you think of this movie separately from the original, then yeah it’s a fun movie. Amy Adams carried the whole thing, while all the other characters were basically stripped of their personalities and screen time. The best part was probably the villain duet."

pily shared a tip "Gisselle’s character will be confusing for young children. i think they gave her character an interpretation of DID Dissociative Identity Disorder. Young children might think that's normal."

mel_c._7893 shared a tip "Mirrored the original without recreating the original. Great homage to classic fairytales without repeating the homages from the first movie. Was truly robbed of it's theatrical release"

alexandria_vega shared a tip "Huge let down honestly. At the end of the first one she was set to be a fashion designer. This new movie fed into the basic cinderella trope and she was a stay at home mom. They didn’t explore what they had previously set up. It felt like it was trying too hard to match the last one. The songs weren’t as great either. Loved the acting though plot was lacking."

enessa_zhdanov shared a tip "Ahhh no! Enchanted was good but this movie just looked, sounded, and felt cheap in every way! The decor, the singing, the costumes, the writing. The plot was super vague and left out a bunch of good characters, and the songs weren’t catchy, just more vagueness. I honestly can’t believe that this movie was made this year; just over-all bad quality. I would have enjoyed much more in cartoon form."

natalie_mck shared a tip "Disenchanted, yeah, that's a pretty good title for this movie cause I was, in fact, disillusion and disappointed with the franchise I previously adored. All in all, it wasn't a terrible movie by any stretch of the imagination. It just didn't make me want to watch it again. It is too bad it couldn't have been better, considering they got a majority of the main part of the cast for the sequel so many years later. However, I think they forgot why we loved the original. There's the phrase "less is more," and the original just knew how to use that. This movie went overboard with absolutely everything to the point where grand moments were not impatiful. For example, there is way more singing and songs in this movie, which is fine, but the music wasn't nearly as charming as it was in the original. That could have been forgiven if there wasn't so much of it and so obvious. The CGI in this movie was superior over the original. However, there was so much of it that the final battle scene just wasn't that interesting. I remember in the original as a kid when the evil queen took the sword and jabbed it into the floor and became a dragon my heart skipped a beat, it didn't matter the CGI wasn't the best. There was less of it in the original, which made the parts that have CGI more impactful and powerful. Here, the movie was so littered with it that nothing was really spectacular. This probably didn't bother nearly as many people as it bothered me, but it was also abundantly clear that every setting was built for the movie. The reason why it bothered me is one of the charms of the first is that it was very clear that it was filmed in New York, and there was a certain kind of magic about them singing in the streets. Here they're just singing on a stage. At times, I felt like I was watching a live performance you'd see at Disney World, and I don't mean that to be a compliment. LoL"

sneffielynn shared a tip "Watched this afternoon. I was kinda weary when I saw it was 2hrs long but gladly proved wrong as it wasn’t going slow at all. You kept engaged the whole time. Great story for the sequel. I loved the acting, singing and it was so visually stunning! If you need something fun totally watch it!"

aidan_l_8623 shared a tip "it’s very FINE. most of the music isn’t memorable and the whole thing just drips with “disney+ original movie” vibes. that being said it’s an okay movie, worth a watch if you’re bored with your family. just not a classic like the original"
