3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Disenchanted’: 1. I absolutely loved revisiting these characters — and Amy Adams nailed it once again — but this film failed them. The wicked stepmother premise was a fantastic idea, but the execution was ultimately disappointing and the plot got a little sloppy. Many things didn’t connect. [spoiler](Why exactly was Giselle dying at the end???)[/spoiler] And Dempsey’s character had a ridiculous, unnecessary arc. 2. That production value. Wow. The difference from the original film is a bit jarring. I know this was a straight-to-streaming project, but many films that go this route still feel like a cinematic experience. This felt like a mediocre episode of _Once Upon a Time_. It deserved better. 3. None of the music stuck. Again, in complete contrast to the original, zero songs were catchy. There was more than enough time to create a solid soundtrack. Bonus Thought: _Enchanted_ was a film with so much heart and humor. There were glimpses of it here, but SO much of that was missing. Super bummed fan here.

Very slow starter and at one point I had to keep myself from turning it off. The second half of the movie is much stronger thgh and really enjoyable. Music wise there wasn't really a song that stood out, although Idina Menzel's Love Power will surely grow on me

A typical sequel filmed on sentiment, but it could be worse... plus for inserts from other fairy tales.

Okay but rhyming _sleeve'll_ with _evil_ is crazy 😭

Musical sequels never hit the same with songs like the original but Badder is a banger. I loved the acting and Idina can sing to me in every movie or tv show and I would love every minute of it. Love Power makes me want to listen to the Wicked soundtrack. I love how Disney is airing sequels like Millennials were hired and decided we needed sequels to all our faves and I love that for us.
