I have never been so at war with myself about a movie

Rating: 5/10 (6 May 2014)

I have always loved Disney movies, so much that I don't actually have a favorite one, I've always loved them all. I tried to find as many good things about this movie as I could for Disney's sake but I just couldn't. With that being said I feel the easiest way to review this movie is to create a Pros and Cons list because there are some things I really like about the movie and then the things I feel like they could have greatly improved on (hence the 5/10) PROS 1. The animation was absolutely gorgeous in this film. The snow sticking to the characters was amazing and that did not surprise me about Disney, they are always finding ways to make their movies more beautiful with new technology.
2. The song "Let it go" was by far the best song in the entire movie. It might be overplayed and over said but it had an amazing message and I cant help but love Idina and they way she can make any song powerful and meaningful.
3. The cast was well picked, Kristen Bell's voice got a little annoying when she sang but she was funny and awkward and cute. Hans voice was mesmerizing which is a good skill to have when you are the villain, either way I loved listening to him whenever he talked.
CONS 1. The plot to me felt unfinished, there was so much more they could have done with their movie length instead of having the characters running around in circles getting nothing done.
2. The Character development was poor. From what I saw the characters had good personalities and the creators had a lot of opportunity to make these characters great. Anna was awkward and innocent, Elsa was kind and caring but very frightened, Hans was charming, handsome, but had trouble up his sleeve, Kristoff was socially awkward, and lonely but very positive and happy, and Olaf was funny but his main use was to sell merchandise, he had no development he was just supposed to make money for the movie, he had no purpose. Also I'd like to add in this section that the trolls had no purpose to the plot it didn't help move the story forward in a way I feel the trolls pushed the story back.
3. The songs were not what I expected, never have I ever not liked the songs in a Disney movie. Some were tolerable and others were just annoying and painful to listen to.
In all I was greatly disappointed in this movie. I always expect the best from Disney and I feel like I missed out on an amazing movie. All the content and the message and the characters were there, they just weren't brought up to their full potential. I thought Disney of all companies could make this movie happen.
