Just watched a movie!

Jan 12, 2015 21:32

I am on the tail-end of my vacation with Mrs. Hyde, and we finally sat down and watched something we've been meaning to watch for a very long time--Frozen! Yeah, that's right, I was one of three people who had not yet seen it. Mrs. Hyde was another one of those three.

Suffice to say, I will be reviewing it. But not here.

Yeah. Frozen? Let it go. ( Read more... )

I didn't like Frozen either. It wasn't a bad movie, but it was a definite 5 out of 10 yet it was marketed and viewed as this amazingly unique film and a total first for Disney and the plot was all over the place. There was no villain before the third act, I felt that the Hans twist was thrown in there because it was fifteen minutes to the end and the film didn't even had a Disney villain yet >:c Attempt to kill a Princess just by locking them in a cold room? Sure what would go wrong? And why the hell was Olaf just going around unlocking doors? Why am I to believe that a guy who sentenced someone to die by death by cold room would behead someone?
And why is everything resolved within the last ten minutes of the film? Not foreshadowing, no built-up just Elsa realises that she can love and Hans is bad and everything is fixed.
And Sven. We get it. He's a four-legged animal who's not a dog but he acts like a dog. It wasn't that funny in Tangled, Disney please stop beating a dead horse with that joke.
And Let It Go wasn't amazing either. Like compare that song to Katy Perry's Fireworks, they have the exact same tempo.
And the people saying I shouldn't be so harsh because it's a kids movie so why is everyone praising it? If I can't critise a kids film then no-one over 12 can praise it.

I agree with you about Hans. It's like they realized they wanted Elsa to be good a little too late in the movie and realized that both guys, Hans and Kristoff, were awesome choices, so they killed two birds with one stone by making Hans evil, thereby making Elsa a good guy and eliminating the dilemma for Anna. Disney is known for having memorable villains, such as Scar, Captain Hook, Jafar, Maleficent, Gaston, etc. In Frozen, Has was just shoehorned in there to tie everything up in a neat little bow. Frozen was okay, but it's definitely not amongst the greats and it was not at all better than Tangled.

Ha! If by "neat little bow" you mean a hideous-over-sized-bow-that-clashed-with-the-package then, yes, it was very tidy.

Some people liked the reveal of Hans as the bad guy since it was a twist. I, on the other hand, literally booed. Disney is not known for hiding who the villain is. They are always obvious. All of the ones you mentioned? They look like bad guys. You could even joke about why the heroes don't see them coming.

People might defend Hans being the villain by saying Disney was trying a different approach. However, all I have to do is point at that guy from Weaselton (or something 'weasel' in it). If you're going to talk about shoehorning, don't forgot that poor guy.

Not having a villain was the direction I thought they were going with too. I preferred that personally. It would have been a far better lesson for kids to teach them that sometimes there is no bad guy. I thought the "villain" of the movie was going to be showing what can happen when people don't communicate or let fear of the unknown cloud their judgement.
