Memorable songs and excellent casting help turn Descendants into a decidedly wicked musical romp.

Shirley Li Entertainment Weekly 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. Sep 9, 2019 Full Review 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. Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Amy Amatangelo The Hollywood Reporter Will Descendants create the next Zac Efron or Vanessa Hudgens? Of the crowd, [Dove] Cameron seems to have the most star potential. Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Jodi Smith Pajiba 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. Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette At 111 minutes, Descendants feels too long and overly tactical. Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Emily Ashby 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 Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

William B This movie was quite a blast Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Lenny H I actually love the concept but this is 100% the worst movie I have ever watched. I had to turn it of after 10 minutes it was so bad. The villains just became stupid and obsessed with being mean. The protagonists were horrible and self centred. The acting was so bad. It was so bad. I hate the opening song. I want to vomit. They had to put an ipad instead of a book because they thought it would impress kids (it didnt impress me). And were did all the people on the villains islands come from. Where are the rest of the villains. Wasted potential. Waaaaaaasted. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review EllaJo r Loved the music and the back and forth. They did a great job on this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Tatum M One of my favs as a kid!! Know all the songs!!! Great catchy songs, good acting, feel good family movie and a Disney channel classic! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Robson C Após o casamento da Bela com a Fera, todos os reinos mágicos foram reunidos no reino de Auradon, Ao mesmo tempo, todos os vilões foram enviados para uma ilha chamada Ilha dos Perdidos e é isolada do continente por uma barreira mágica criada pela Fada Madrinha. No aniversário de 16 anos, o filho de Bela e Fera, o príncipe Ben irá ser coroado e ele decide convidar quatro filhos adolescentes dos vilões para virem estudar em Auradon. Os escolhidos são Mal, a filha da Maléfica, Evie, a filha da Rainha Má da Branca de Neve, Carlos, o filho da Cruella de Vil, e Jay, o filho do Jafar. Os jovens recebem a missão de roubar a varinha mágica da Fada Madrinha, para que a barreira mágica seja rompida e os vilões possam atacar Auradon. Porém, a convivência no colégio acaba levando-os a repensarem sobre sua vida e missão, mesmo que sofram preconceito de alguns moradores do reino mágico. É uma sacada bem interessante de criar os filhos adolescentes dos maiores vilões Disney. Você percebe que eles não pessoas más, pois logo vão abandonando os pensamentos mesquinhos e egoístas. O elenco jovem reunido é talentoso, principalmente nas várias sequências musicais do filme, como toda produção Disney jovem. Porém, percebe-se que ao escalar Kristin Chenoweth, como Maléfica, e Kathy Najimy, como a Rainha Má, havia algum receio deles não darem conta do projeto. É claro que o roteiro é bobinho, com pretensões de passar moral, tanto para um lado quanto para o outro. Tenta fazer comédia e ter boas sacadas, mas muitas vezes soa bobo e infantil. A direção se sai melhor mesmo nos números musicais, com várias câmeras pegando vários ângulos, em coreografias bem interessantes. Descendentes é uma boa ideia que pode ser que não tenha resultado em um grande filme, mas diverte. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Ashton V A classic disney movie for kids. And of course the magic and creativity produced and directed by Kenny Ortega Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
