The first Frozen 2 reviews promise viewers a satisfying sequel
Frozen 2 is just around the corner, and the early reactions to the film suggest that viewers will leave theaters satisfied on November 22.
It’s hard to believe it’s already almost here, but the sequel to Disney’s blockbuster hit, Frozen, is just around the corner — and early reviews of the animated film suggest that fans of all ages will leave theaters satisfied on November 22. The amount of praise from critics who have already seen Frozen 2 is impressive given how popular the first movie was. The sequel could easily have suffered second-movie syndrome, but judging by first reactions, that won’t be the case.
“It’s hard to compare since I’ve seen Frozen 1 roughly 4,000 times with my girls, but I think Frozen 2 might be just as good, if not better… it’s really funny and as sweet and moving as you’d expect,” Yahoo’s Kevin Polowy Tweeted after seeing the film.

And, in fact, many of the reviewers who have seen Frozen 2 agree that the movie isn’t just as good as the first, but that it has a more emotional and mature tone to it. Several reviewers admitted to tearing up during the film, and many praised the portrayal of Anna and Elsa — along with the sisterly bond between the two of them, which will see far more of the limelight this time around.
Alisha Grauso of Atom Tickets wrote on Twitter, “#Frozen2 is breathtakingly beautiful and leans in on empowerment for its characters. I cried at least 3 times. From the story to the last thread on Elsa’s dress, the care and love put into it shows. And, good news, every one of Team Elsa gets at least one solo this time around.”

Catchy music, tear-jerking moments, and empowered female leads — honestly, what more could we ask for in a sequel? With all of those boxes checked, it seems that Frozen 2 will be the Disney movie many of us wanted to watch as children — and it still promises to be an inspiring and entertaining installment for the current younger audience that goes to see it.
We still have two weeks to wait until we can offer a definitive opinion of the sequel, but expectations are high following the Frozen 2 premiere. With any luck, Anna, Elsa, and the rest of the gang will not let us down.
