Frozen is a good movie, perhaps great. But I wish it could have been more.

Rating: 7/10 (13 January 2014)

It's refreshing to see a story where misfortune is the most prominent evil, and even more refreshing to see it from a Disney movie. Even though there is a villain, one who is motivated mainly by greed and power-hungriness, he takes a back-seat for most of the movie.
The beginning was my least favorite part. The plot was convoluted, rushed, and there were many scenes that were too saccharine for my taste. The music of the movie was bad, just plain bad. Only one song was decent (mostly because of the great emotion of the scene itself, which mixed both joy and sorrow).
But then, what was good? The humor! Although a few jokes fell flat I caught myself laughing out loud more than a few times. The story continuously pokes fun at Disney's older conventions, and threw me off more than once. Despite the shaky start the writers managed to pull the threads together, and at the climax of the movie I found myself crossing my fingers, saying "please, please, please let it happen!" And then it happened.
