Frozen II's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
No sequel is essential, but 'Frozen 2' makes the argument that, even in the fairy tale land of Disney, they can still be important.
Empire
A more mature film that deals with notions of maturity, for an audience that has itself grown up in the six years since the previous outing.
The Telegraph
For all its feints and innovations, 'Frozen 2' knows its audience inside out, and wants to ensure every last subdivision leaves feeling both seen and satisfied. That?s obviously good business. But it?s also generous, deeply charming filmmaking.
The Wrap
There?s a lot to like here [...], but in the final tally, this is a sequel that exists not because there was more story to be told but because there was more money to be made.
Screen Daily
Full of big emotions and boisterous musical numbers, 'Frozen 2' is, like its predecessor, a film designed to bowl you over ? a mission it accomplishes, even if the brazen overkill can be exhausting at times.
Variety
This gorgeous, glittering reunion of siblings Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel) proudly flaunts its own identity, even while taking care to incorporate so much of what worked about the original
Los Angeles Times
Like the first film, Frozen II is less a triumph of storytelling than of packaging. It bundles together a bunch of familiar, likable characters and a fresh list of bright, catchy songs, expertly written (by the returning duo of Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez) with an ear toward the Broadway showtunes they will one day inevitably become.
USA Today
If you were holding out hope that Frozen 2 could equal or surpass the original phenomenon, it?s time to let it go.
The Hollywood Reporter
'Frozen 2' has everything you would expect ? catchy new songs, more time with easy-to-like characters, striking backdrops, cute little jokes, a voyage of discovery plot and female empowerment galore ? except the unexpected.
The Guardian
It?s nice to see these figures again, but I couldn?t help feeling that there is something a bit underpowered and contrived about the storyline in 'Frozen 2'.
Screen Crush
Even with Frozen II?s problems, the ending affected me. Because some things do change. Even if they always remain Frozen.
Vanity Fair
In that striving to justify a sequel, the 'Frozen' team is forced to go bigger, grander, more existential, while still keeping things accessible to children. That?s a really tough balancing act, one 'Frozen 2' can?t manage.
