Why are you hating on one of the most successful Disney movies? It's actually rated pretty well too. I think you're just hating on its popularity.

While frozen is certainly not my favorite, I would have to disagree with most of what you said. The characters are likable. Anna is a dipiction of a large majority of modern girls, stupid and naive.

The music is very catchy and the movies video animation graphics are top notch.

My biggest grip with the movie is the lack of a major, evil villain. Elsa kind of plays as the villain, and I don't think that worked well for a story.


frozen certainly isn't in my top 10, but it's not garbage.


Are you an idiot? The villain in frozen is clearly the guy who wants to take over the kingdom.

I'm not a huge fan personally but as a childrens/little girl movie it certainly deserves its hype.

Mulan is better for all ages/genders despite how much it completely fucking butchers the actual real life story of Mulan.

He's not a strong villain. He is not even relevant until close to the end of the movie.

Elsa is more of the villain than he is, even though she technically is on the "good." Side.

I said this movie lacked a strong villain role, which is a huge fault. The little guy (I forget his name) really only was trying to take advantage of the situation.

:wallbash:

I just don't understand. The music is God awful in frozen, that's not up for debate and its why 7 yr old girls with the absolute worst taste in music enjoy it. What character is likeable? Both girls act like selfish idiots the entire movie, the guy is an idiot and the snowman is just fucking annoying.

I'm not one of those people who dislikes something because it's popular and I love animated movies that are well done. Frozen was just a bad movie and I get why little girls enjoy it, but it's unfathomable to me that any adult could be stupid enough to think it's anything other than below average.

Just watch the damn movie. You're reading far and wide for an evaluation in the time you could have watched the movie.

It's a typical Disney Princess movie. Very princess type movie. I enjoyed it.

Never saw Mulan, but Frozen was pretty funny.

Music is enjoyable because it's catchy. I listen to heavy metal, and I still find myself singing let it go all the time. It doesn't make it "good music." Not many actual Disney songs are good music, but the catchiness is what makes them likeable.

You can't hate Olaf, you can't.

The girls, are Disney princesses, so kids will like them, and adults will see them exactly how you described them. They are naive which makes it funny because they are like most young modern girls. I find that comical.

You can hate the movie, that's fine, but you're a minority.

Rotten tomatoes: 89%
IMDb 7.6/10

Now, I don't base my movie likings solely based on reviews, but these reviews are from adults and the movie was well received.

Have to agree to disagree I suppose. I thought "Let it Go" was the only somewhat decent song, and I still didn't enjoy it, it was at least bearable though. I did indeed hate Olaf, I didn't get whatever they were going for there and I just found it annoying.

Most Disney stories have characters besides spoiled, whiny, and downright evil little rich bitches as their protagonist and supporting roles. I do understand that more and more children do now act that way. I however don't condone it, and I actually downright loath that it's become acceptable (as this film proves). The ratings on children's movies rarely matter. Most main-stream family/animated films, will get at least a 75%, and ones that are actually good will be up in the 95%+ range. Movies like Up, Toy Story, or How to Train you Dragon.

To my knowledge, Disney Pixar and some dreamworks movies are the only Hollywood animated movies that are rated well.


I obviously don't condone today's youth and I hate the behavior of most of society.

Frozen's story definitely was a different path than normal disney movies.

Elsa is "good" but at the same time, the villain (one of). I can't recall any Disney movie where this happens. To me, that weakened the plot, but it didn't ruin the movie for me.


Olaf was a comical relief, nothing more and he definitely had a few good lines.

That's why I said "main-stream". Elsa and Anna were both just horrible people, and that's a huge problem for me. That takes away from the story, and it diminshes what all of the involved characters are doing, because for me, it's really hard to relate or care about shitty people. That added with the lack of a real antagonist, weak supporting cast ( I know you said you liked Olaf, but I really just don't get why anyone would think he or Kristoff were anything better than tolerable), and what I thought was a below average soundtrack, just made for a very lacking movie experience for me.

So that and then yes, the insane amount of hype, did most likely ruin it even more for me. Everything was blowing up for months before I finally sat down and watched the movie by myself and it just didn't hit anything for me. It got I think 2 half-chuckles out of me, a couple times where I turned down the volume because of a terrible song and the rest was me sitting and staring blankly and hoping it would end soon.
