“Moana 2” viewers “realize” the real reason why the film caused such disappointment among fans – TV & Film

The wait is finally over and Moana 2 has hit British cinemas to the delight of fans.

Hit title Moana was released in cinemas in 2016 and was immediately well received, becoming the absolute favorite of many film fans and being a huge success at the box office.

The animated musical adventure featured songs written by Hamiltonwas Lin-Manuel Miranda and featured big names like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Auli’i Cravalho, Jemaine Clement and Nicole Scherzinger.

MoanaSet on the Polynesian island of Motunui, it introduced the lives of the island’s inhabitants who worshiped the goddess of nature: Te Fiti.

The island’s balance is thrown out of whack when Maui, the shape-shifting demigod of the wind and sea and master of wayfinding, steals Te Fiti’s heart to give humanity the power of creation.

This creates the framework for Moana 2which takes place three years after the above events.

An older Moana now devotes herself to traveling around new islands with the goal of tracking down people connected to the sea.

After a long wait of nine years, fans in the US enjoyed a slightly earlier release date (November 27) and rushed to their seats, while we in the UK can watch the film from today.

The reactions are already pouring in – and will continue to do so for a long time Moana was a clear success, it seems the sequel is struggling to live up to the same rave reviews.

While Moana 2 Although it’s now a feature film, a Disney+ series was originally planned – and fans claim that’s obvious in the final cut.

One person wrote on X: “Moana 2 originated as a Disney+ series and honestly, it shows.

“Still perfectly watchable and there’s a bit of fun to be had, but this sequel feels so rushed and disjointed as a finished package. A disappointing step down from the great first film.”

A second person wrote: “Moana 2 was… a movie. You could tell that it used to be a TV show because the “plot of the week” was broadcast every 20 minutes. It has an interesting concept that I don’t think was executed that well, and the main villain is possibly the worst I’ve ever seen in a Disney film. The post-credit scene also annoyed me, once again feeling like it belonged at the end of a TV show and not a movie.

While a third added: “It’s so obvious.” Moana 2 was supposed to be a television series. I can tell you EXACTLY where each episode begins and ends.
