🎙️ EPISODE 209: 12.03.19
I give Frozen II mega points for creativity: They did not just re-hash the plot of the first movie, which you see far too often nowadays. It’s actually super weird. No spoiler, but there is a lot of metaphysical stuff happening here. Perhaps too heady for kids, but... A) kids are dumb to begin with so what does it matter if *anything* goes over their heads, and B) as an adult, I was digging it / really appreciating it. That said, the movie does fall short in a few areas where Frozen I truly excelled. Most notably, the music and songs are nowhere close to as memorable. They want “Into the Unknown” to be this generation’s “Let It Go” and it’s just not happening. There are a few winners in the batch, though. The first real rollicking number, “Some Things Never Change” is a true keeper, a piano-led ensemble show tune that reminded me of early Billy Joel for some reason. And the Kristoff-sung power ballad “Lost in the Woods” is a true-to-form power ballad in every sense. It’s out of place, but not unwelcome. Most everything else is kinda meh. Lastly, the pacing seemed to suffer from the ambitious plotlines, but again: HUGE points for trying. |
