    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…

    I honestly didn’t expect The Rock to own his role like that, but he was genuinely hilarious. 😂 This was a good live-action adaptation. Is it better than the original, no but still a good live action. Catherine was absolutely gorgeous and did an amazing job as Moana. I definitely teared up seeing…

    It is not so bad, but I do still think it is unnecessary and disney should give up on live actions. The rock was definitely the best part for me

    i really didn’t hate it, and i was pleasantly surprised by that. my biggest thing is just why? the original is barely 10 years old, and the sequel isn’t even a full 3, why did we need to completely redo the og? we could’ve gotten another new and original story LIKE moana with the money spent to…

    6.8/10 I am not a fan of the disney live action remakes so i knew it wasn’t going to be as good as original and it wasn’t - it was really the same exact movie i just don’t think it’s a good story to represent in live action - the fight scenes look worse and I thought the rock looked bad as Maui - i…
