Brian Lowry CNN.com [W]hile the first exhibited flashes of inspiration, the second feels entirely phoned in, as if it could skate by on the title alone. Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times The kids are largely on their own in Descendants 2. That makes for a dumber film, but the target audience for this colorful tuneful fluff won't care and may even consider it an improvement. Jul 22, 2017 Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle Descendants 2 will not disappoint, and that means fans as well as Disney's number crunchers. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 18, 2017 Full Review Aly Caviness Midwest Film Journal Disney fan fiction in excessively vibrant living color, but man, if it isn't delightful. Dec 6, 2019 Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media Exceptional sequel promotes communication, female roles. Rated: 4/5 Jul 25, 2017 Full Review Scott Mendelson Forbes 'Descendants 2' has a better villain, some fun action beats, and a willingness to dive deeper into its subtext. Rated: 6/10 Jul 12, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

William B Bigger and badder than the first and jam-packed with action, outstanding, fun music, brilliant performances and sweet moves. Best out of the Descendants movies Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Alien D This movie is fantastic! I can't even begin to describe how good this movie was!! Like the plot twist? Phenomenal! The romance and drama and stakes and action and plot? Chef's kiss! :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/24 Full Review Dale R In this Disney Channel original sequel, Mel is having difficulties adjusting to life as a good guy and returns to the Island of the Lost. Her boyfriend Ben and her friend go after her but have to deal with Uma, the daughter of Urzula, Harry the son of Captain Hook and Gil, the son of Gaston. The problems the previous movie had were dealt with here. We do not deal with the parents of the kids at all, so the tone has a more even feel. “Chillin’ Like a Villain” is a bagger of a song and the choreography for “You and Me” with the water was very creative. We also get a little more Dianne Doan as Lonnie. However, this is still a Disney Channel movie and as such you have to lower a few expectations. Set design, while creative, had noticeable budget constraints and some acting was wooden or inconsistent. There were also quite a few plot conveniences. On the whole, I would recommend a single viewing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Luke R It’s as bad as the first one. Uma should’ve just got octopus legs, not also with two legs. And the dog’s voice is annoying. Also, Ursula was supposed to be dead! Gaston too! Watch the Disney classics! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Robson C Jay, Carlos, Evie e Mal já estão bem adaptados ao mundo de Auradon, porém Mal não consegue suportar a pressão de ser a namorada do Rei Ben e decide voltar para a Ilha dos Perdidos. Os amigos de Mal e Ben decidem ir atrás dela na Ilha. Isto acaba despertando a atenção de Uma, a filha da bruxa Úrsula da Pequena Sereia, inimiga de Mal. Na verdade, o destaque aqui é a entrada da atriz China Anne McClain, como Uma, e de Thomas Doherty, como Harry Hook, o filho do Capitão Gancho, que tornam os seus personagens bem interessantes. No mais, é o mesmo de outras produções Disney para este público juvenil. Não tem muito orçamento. Muita música. Muita dança. Roteiro bobinho. Bonitinho e ordinário. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Ashton V Amazing sequel, honestly better than the first and third movie. Great costumes, amazing music and great performances from the actors and especially from the characters. China really made this movie the movie it is.
