GamerTab That was an excellent one.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
willdidonna Usual Disney princess movie formula describes this movie: Step 1. Chose a theme and setting, Step 2. Start movie with Disney castle, netx add some conflict backstory, then go to characters child where they find something relating to the conflict, skip to the current age character with musical town intro, kill family member(s), character starts adventure with singing and leaves home. Step 3. Make middle part with more singing and adding characters (good and bad) (also esablish main threat) while main character goes to some places. Step 4. Add a sad or losing part for the main character. Step 5. Final sequence or fight where main character discovers something and then wins, then make final scenes where everything is better again, cut to credits.If you think you have seven this formula before in Disney movies you will know what to expect for this one. The theme is Pacific Islander this time. That is all that is different in this movie. Overall average
Torrin-McFinn77 As much as I enjoy Disney movies and having watched a lot of those princess films in my younger years, this is the latest of those princess ones (in which I have somewhat lost interest). It's decent for me but anyone who likes Pacific Island motifs would find it fun. Dwayne Johnson was the best part as the demigod. A lot of my friends can't stand him because he's a former wrestler but that seems like such an unfair judgment and an utterly ridiculous reason to dislike a celebrity. He's made some decent movies, so what's not to like? I enjoyed him in the Scorpion King. Anyway, back to Moana. I enjoyed the themes that went into the movie, especially the Pacific Island motifs, Moana's mission, and the clash between spirits, humans, and demigods. It's almost like Avatar: The Last Airbender that way. Oh, but to put it honestly, it's not my absolute favorite Disney film, but the visuals were stunning. If you wanted a different kind of Disney princess who isn't your average damsel in distress, look here!
Bharve10 Here's the same Disney story we've seen time and time again. It's another profit for Disney executives to take home. Story was meh, the crab scene was more bizarre than scenes from Alice in wonderland. That being said I don't think these characters are anything that stand out in the Disney world. The effects and scenery saved what it could of this movie. I rank it high for the detail added to the tattoos of the characters. As a man covered in them, I appreciate the detail to the customs their tattoos stand for. Otherwise, try again Disney.
TheNameBrand It's your friendly neighborhood, well rounded Disney movie for sure. It's got some fun moments, with some nice catchy songs, and who knew that The Rock could sing so good? Got some beef with the large singing crab scene that I'll never be able to unsee, but it's Overall a great watch that kids and adults will love 7.5/10
