Did they forget who the villas are ? They also just dumbed them way down. This should've never been made. Cringe. Awful graphics. Terrible acting. 0/5

Typical Disney stuff, it can get corny sometimes and this is one of them. Having the setting in a modern day makes it even worse, musical numbers are too modern.

Descendants moves quickly through its two-hour-long running time, builds momentum off of a handful of peppy tunes, and delivers a colorful confection that's sure to impress the younger crowd.

Brian Lowry

Variety

The movie boasts a stronger, more assured story than most of the recent youth-oriented live-action musicals Disney has offered, with plenty of brightly colored bells and whistles as well as songs that range from Broadway to rap.

Will Descendants create the next Zac Efron or Vanessa Hudgens? Of the crowd, [Dove] Cameron seems to have the most star potential.

The lesson of Descendants is to choose love instead of hate. Those are definitely lessons worth learning, even if they are dressed in song and dance numbers and simplistic dialogue.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

At 111 minutes, Descendants feels too long and overly tactical.

Common Sense Media

This much-anticipated fairy tale add-on isn't perfect, but it's highly entertaining in the kind of young-love, flash-mob, song-and-dance manner that tends to thrill the youngsters

Rated: 4/5
