Moviegoers are saying
This live-action Disney remake splits audiences down the middle, with families and kids absolutely loving the visual spectacle and Dwayne Johnson's charismatic Maui, while film purists slam it as an unnecessary cash grab that pales compared to the beloved animated original. The polarization is stark - either you're enchanted by the stunning visuals and family themes, or you're rolling your eyes at another corporate remake.

Before going to see Moana, I had read scathing reviews online, all of which claimed the film was awful, the acting was mediocre, and that a live action remake of a classic animated original was entirely unnecessary. Consequently, I was not expecting to enjoy this whatsoever, and I only booked…
Lole likedMoanaI honestly didn’t expect The Rock to own his role like that, but he was genuinely hilarious. 😂 This was a good live-action adaptation.
