[W]hile the first exhibited flashes of inspiration, the second feels entirely phoned in, as if it could skate by on the title alone. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times 07/22/2017
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. Go to Full Review

'Descendants 2' has a better villain, some fun action beats, and a willingness to dive deeper into its subtext. Go to Full Review

TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 4 Descendants 2 captures the same quirky, colorful Disney magic that made the first film such a hit, while adding even more style and personality. Bringing China Anne McClain in as Uma was a brilliant move, and her portrayal—paired with the idea of Ursula’s legacy continuing through a powerful Black daughter—adds depth and energy to the story. Her partnership with Hook’s son sets up one of the best musical and dance numbers Disney has produced in years. Dove Cameron and Sofia Carson shine once again, slipping effortlessly back into their characters, while Booboo Stewart and Cameron Boyce deliver incredible choreography that elevates every scene they touch. Kristin Chenoweth and Kathy Najimy continue to embody Maleficent and the Evil Queen with flair, proving how perfectly cast they are. What makes the film work is its balance—fun, quirky humor without losing heart or intelligence. The screenplay and direction keep the world vibrant and engaging, making Descendants 2 just as magical See more Muhammad A Nov 29 Estoy claro que no tiene lo mismo que la 1era entrega, y no hay problema, igual tiene algo de calidad, algo no esperado en el inicio, una historia y trama infantil para los niños que será buena para pasar un rato, y ese toque de preocupación familiar que lo caracteriza :) See more Bardia R Nov 27 It was very good movie See more tiago m Sep 27 Um bom filme, uma boa trama, boas cenas de luta e uma trama simples, com defeitos mas que não é detestável. See more Viviana B Jul 28 The soundtrack in this movie was elite. I love the story and I love the introduction of Uma! This is my favorite descendants movie as a kid and Stella is to this day fantastic movie and everything was developed well. The only issue I guess with this movie I have is just how the whole boat ship scene and a lot of the times when they’re on water you can tell that it’s just a green screen but just look past that in the movie is fabulous See more Angelica J Jul 27 In my opinion, one of the greatest movie sequels out there. This trilogy keeps getting better. See more Read all reviews
