Decent, but not great

Rating: 4/10 (2 January 2015)

When I first saw this film, I absolutely loathed it, now not so much. I still don't find it to be a great film, but it's decent. It's a Disney princess film, like you probably know, but it's a different type of Disney princess film. This is no "Cinderella" or "Sleeping Beauty." Instead of romance being a good thing like in earlier Disney princess films, now it's a bad thing as the one that one of the princesses falls in love with double-crosses her and her sister. Personally, I'm torn on if I like that or not.
This film is unusually dark for an animated Disney film. Not a whole lot of comic relief, only about 11 minutes of relief in fact (a.k.a. every Olaf scene). Personally, I didn't mind it being dark, I just found it strange for a Disney film.
Personally, I found Elsa, the character we are supposed to be rooting for (and Anna) to be very unsympathetic. Elsa was just a monster, and the way she handled things did not turn my heart towards her. But, compared to how Anna acted, she was sympathetic. Anna was insane. She never allowed anything to stop her, and just kept on going. It was awesome at first, but after a while of her stubbornness, it got tiring.
Finally, the music. Sorry, but I hated it. It felt like a lot of the songs were just added in there to fill up some more minutes (I'm looking at you "Fixer Upper" and "Frozen Heart") and others were just unnecessary (The one that Olaf sings. While cute and funny, I didn't think it was needed). And then, "Let It Go" which is awesome at first, and then you hear it everywhere and it gets stuck in your head.
Overall, I thought it was a decent film. Good story, but Anna's stubbornness, lame soundtrack, Elsa being a complete rip-off of Jack Frost from "Rise of the Guardians" and it being a bit of a dark film with little comic relief really made the quality go down. I give it a 4.5 out of 10.
