Highly overrated

Rating: 2/10 (15 December 2014)

First of all, the film is just highly predictable from the first few scenes. If you watch the trailer, watch the films first scenes where *spoilers* Anna and Elsa play around in the snow and the trolls use "magic" to make Anna lose her memory, then Kristoff follows them, you can tell "Kristoff and Anna find love in the end. Obviously telling us they have a bond, that somewhat made them find each other (they don't, but it's subliminal messaging)." Secondly, there are, practically, 5 settings, two of which are only important and/or interesting. The town (forgot the name), Elsa's castle (that's it on the two), the store, the troll's hideout and the wilderness. The store has about two minutes of viewing time, the wilderness has about 5, and the troll hideout has about 10 overall. The rest of the film is in Elsa's castle or the town/city. The plot moves along nicely, but the reused set pieces, places that you get there, get away from there then repeat this 10 times over makes the plot seem like it's actually not moving at all! Thirdly, the plot lines/holes are totally inconvenient and stupid. They should've learned from comic books, that you have to explain how this works (meaning comic books don't explain how they work, and that's why people cringe at them today)! Elsa's powers are hidden by love, wait, so what did her parents do then? Elsa just sent you into a kind of nuclear winter just now, f**k it, she can be our queen. Elsa can create snow and ice, we'll give her, somehow, the power to create life, just so we can put an immature snowman in it and a big abominable snowman, because of reasons! We'll put men in here just to show love, because they are all incompetent a******s who make no progression in the story, whatsoever! Next, all the characters, apart from the main 4, are bland, boring or cringeworthy from how stupid and childish they are. The duke has a bland tone and is nosey and bossy. That's it? This character seems like an antagonist type, but seriously? That's all we learn about him. + he is in it, goes to Elsa's castle, nearly dies but Hans convinces her not to (I think this happens) then he magically disappears, never to be seen again. The soldiers could at least have been funny and clumsy, but no, they just stand there, do what they told and guess what? They magically disappear too! They've taken almost every aspect that could've made the movie funny, you know to actually appeal to the target market, but they skip it all. The law and order in this time is screwed up as well. "Your acting queen is dead, so I'm married to her, no need to see any documents, so I'll be king now." And Hans says to Elsa (practically) "don't kill that man! I just met your sister and tried to get married to her and you didn't approve because you don't know me. Now, since you don't know me, follow me back to your home so I can chain you up and behead you, OK?" If you're going to make a kid's film, make it a tiny bit educational, please? These also lead to easily avoidable plot holes that, since there are so many, take every bit of enjoyment out of the film. For example: Elsa makes a massive winter, almost killing everyone, so they make her queen again in the end. They tell everyone (Elsa is nice) but Hans is nasty (included with the last point, nobody would trust Elsa and everyone thinks Anna is dead, but she comes back so they were lying to them, also taking off trust points) and everyone believes them. Elsa's powers can create life, unexplainably. There are no wizards and there is nothing in Elsa's parents genes to make her have these powers. This can't happen because of the genes screwing up, because that makes Down syndrome and cystic fibrosis, also unexplained. The winter instantly surpasses and everyone gets on with their lives in supposedly days, forgetting about the events entirely. Olaf doesn't melt before Elsa gives him the cloud. Anna almost freezes to death in a cold room, but feels the same way in a massive storm. Not feeling worse in any way. Somehow, Anna's horse finds it's way back, a duke who has nothing to do with the town can dish out orders, now one slips in a massive castle of ice or on an icy pond etc.. This film is good for a day where you relax and don't think, but if you're going to look for a film with an intricate and intriguing plot, with a twist (that isn't predictable) then this isn't for you. They explain nothing towards why anything happens, it just does. Worst Disney movie ever IMO. + it's highly overrated.
