The main selling point remains Moana herself: the sparkiest and most intrepid Disney heroine of them all.

Moana 2 touts the power of human (and non-human) connection, and the film will certainly connect with its target audience. But it doesn’t trust viewers enough to feel for themselves.

I got done seeing Moana 2 on Disney+ and I got to say it was good I just didn't get into it because it was weird because it was supposed to be a Disney+ series but Disney said we're making it into a movie instead in the swim really makes the whole movie feel like a show because it was literally supposed to be a show on Disney+ not a movie but Disney decided to release it in theaters by Disney should've had changed the script from the show script to a movie script instead of just copying the script of the show and putting it into a movie which is pretty messed up but the movie was pretty good it's was just weird & i like the music it's really good but just the entire script of the movie just feel like they rushed it they just rushed it they just wanted to release it real fast and have everybody go to the theaters and instead I just watching it on Disney+ because it was supposed to be a show & But Moana 2 was good it's not better than the first one but it has a good story but it just need a little bit more of Disney Magic

The studio’s latest likable musical is nicely animated, has nice characters and a few nice songs. At risk of repeating myself: It’s nice.

Despite all this Moana moaning, though, it's still a high-quality piece of work: a hurtling Disneyland rollercoaster ride that small children, especially, are bound to enjoy. The irony is that if it had been a television series, viewers might well have gushed about how spectacular it was. But as a film, Moana 2 wouldn't be near the top of any list of Disney's finest.

Too much of Moana 2 is simply far too familiar to make it anything more than a convenient escape.

Without the musical heart or stirring adventure of the first movie, Moana 2 relies on a surprising amount of gross-out humor and meta jokes to keep audiences engaged.

Moana 2 is finally here, ready to assault audiences this holiday season with one of the most ill-conceived sequels in Disney history. It took three directors to sink this movie — Dana Ledoux Miller, Jason Hand and David Derrick Jr. — and it’s so bad it feels like they did it on purpose.

Personally I love the first Moana movie so much. It is so smooth and the songs are catchy. There are scenes that gave me goosebumps. I'm not even a princess movie fan but I watched it and loved it. When it comes to Moana 2 I feel like it's fun but not as good as the first one. The songs are nice but only 2 or 3 songs are catchy. I feel like some characters are unnecessary and cutting them out wouldn't affect the storyline. It feels like the movie is missing something. I watched it and didn't feel wowed like the first one but it's not too bad to watch. If anyone loves the first movie and is a Moana fan they would probably enjoy it. This is just my opinion.

I won’t deny that Moana 2 is an easy watch. It’s entertaining, colorful, and it takes us back to a world that once worked beautifully. But it also feels like one of those sequels that exists more out of momentum than real necessity. It’s well made, yes, but it rarely **** main issue is the sense of repetition. The film moves forward competently, linking together set pieces that work on their own, yet without a real narrative urgency. Things happen because they have to, not because the journey truly demands it. It often feels like the story takes too long to justify itself, and by the time it does, we’re already standing on very familiar ground.Visually, there’s little to complain about. The animation is stunning, the ocean remains hypnotic, and the world-building is still one of Disney’s strongest achievements in recent years. Some moments are enjoyable purely for how they look, with a level of detail that’s genuinely **** songs, however, don’t carry the same weight as in the first film. They’re pleasant and keep the tone light, but few really stick. They work within the movie, yet fade quickly once it’s **** the end, Moana 2 is a polite, agreeable sequel designed not to offend anyone. It will satisfy its younger audience and loyal fans, but it’s unlikely to leave a lasting impression. Enjoyable while it lasts, but hardly essential.

No one asked for the sequel, and it wasn't needed. The movie is really bad, only worth it if you have young children.

Moanna 2, Disney's attempt to cash in on another familiar named movie with no success. I mean we don't even see the bad guy until you sit through the ending credits?!!! The songs are so familiar, yet they don't click like part 1 had. A total pass
