The worst animated Disney film.
Plot holes aplenty. It doesn't know who it wants the main character to be. The music is awful.
Thumbs up to Josh Gad though. He was the best thing about it.
Totally disagree. I thought it was excellent. The music is fantastic. Elsa is the main character, but the other characters have significant roles to play too.
shareI kind of want to watch it again to see if I hate it the same way. I remember picking apart so many problems with the plot.
shareRead my post about it, to get a more detailed picture. I don't see how anyone can think the songs are AWFUL, when they're so cinematic and have such interesting chord progressions and a lot of energy - they never become boring, they're never grating to the ears (heavy guitar is absent, thankfully), they have good, proper, actual melody, and some of them are shared between singers in a very neat 'interlaced way' that builds two separate consistencies that you can still follow with your ears.
What the heck would be AWFUL about that? I can't even imagine. In WHAT way do you think the MUSIC is awful? (I didn't even realize you attacked the music itself, not just the 'songs' - this could have been somewhat forgiven, for example, if you had focused on the lyrics or something).
Either you have no musical sense, or you had some faulty copy that doesn't play the music properly - these musics are cinematic and sublime.
My post fully acknowledges the misandry, the nonsensical plot, the really badly written elements, things that do not make sense even according to the rules of the movie itself, and so on.
SPOILERS:
Also, the bad 'villain twist' is just really, really stupid, and comes out of nowhere, since we've already seen the 'bad guy' 'sigh romantically while gazing lovingly' after meeting her. He can't go from THAT to suddenly being completely.. pardon the pun,COLD towards her.
But hey, at least the animals don't really talk here.
There are many GOOD points after you have almost boiled your brain by noticing so many bad ones; just let yourself relax and enjoy the scenery and animation, and maybe you will feel the heart of the movie, which really keeps it afloat despite its stupidities. I kinda liked the non-usual 'true love' twist at the end, as lesbianic and misandristic it might be, at least it is something different.
When a Disney movie (of all things) avoids a typical Disney-cliché, you have to respect it.
The problem with the music, is that there's no real heart to the songs. As a matter of fact, Disney movies almost always have pop songs. They don't branch out and do anything different. This isn't the type of music that you play in your car and feel the same way you would about another pop songs.
