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

Viviana B 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Angelica J In my opinion, one of the greatest movie sequels out there.
