Visually amazing... and that's it!

Rating: 5/10 (24 March 2020)

With a story and a structure ultra cliche, based in the adventure of "the chosen one" influenced by "destiny" or a mentor or both, trying to solve a crisis, save his/her family or the world even, the movie is only acceptable because of how impressive is visually. The colors, animation and overall designs are all incredible. Some details coming from the Maui culture are great too, or at least interesting and different.
But the jokes don't work ever, of the six songs, only two are great (the ones representing the protagonists) and the other are awful. The Dwayne Johnson character, Maui, takes a time until becoming likeable. And last point, the story is too predictable, which can be expected in a movie for kids, but it doesn't gain any points on originality.
