Just watched a movie!

[das_mervin]

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.

I liked it well enough while I was watching it, but the more I thought about it afterwards, the more its flaws annoyed me. There's the whole "Let it go" sequence which I love, but it's like an isolated moment, because what the song tells us and what actually leads up to it and happens with Elsa afterwards don't fit at all - sure shows how elsa was supposed to be the main villain at first.
And don't get me started on the fucking trolls...

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

Frozen

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.

Still haven't seen it because I'm bad about remembering to watch movies, though considering the hype I should probably make time for it. I am interested in your review, though, since I've heard mixed things but the general consensus seems to be that it's good but not great. Also I like reading your reviews.

The movie about the ski lift that breaks down? But it was super suspenseful and nerve-wracking!

(It's been a while since I've seen Frozen, but I do remember liking it. Also, I feel like one of the only people who didn't really like Disney's Frozen. I liked Tangled so much more.)

I thought it was a cute kiddie movie and enjoyed it a lot. But it's not my number one favorite; I've seen better Disney movies.

Let it Go was a cute song at first, but now it's annoying. Really annoying.
