Descedentes: A Ascensão de Copas

Exactly when the movie seemed to redeem itself, like it was finally heading on a better path- it abruptly ended. I understand the writers might want to leave an open window for a potential 2nd movie, but I think the plot could have been worked with in order to give us something else. There are thousands of ways they could have made this, and the result certainly wouldn't have been this quirky, edgy failed attempt to what could have been otherwise an interesting film. They somehow created sparkling details- the atmosphere, the confrontatione, even the characters were interesting enough, and I adore Red, I see pontential in her character development. But it totally lacked what the original series had: good songs, and the magic that overall glued all the other elements together.

The songs have absolutely nothing near the vibes of the original series. I would rather say all the songs sounded like badly timed pop songs. All the essence from the original series- gone.

This gets 1 higher mark purely for how beautiful they made Wonderland look, and even Merlin Academy.

Like everybody else, I had higher expectations. Like Red & Chloe, I wish I had a time-turning clock, so I could give this movie a higher time-ranged, and a not-so-rushed plot.

Not gonna lie, I was STUPID excited when I saw Brandy was going to be Cinderella. She's my favorite version of the character. I think I was more excited to see her than anything else. And I was happy they got Paolo Montalban to come back as Charming.

And I loved Jeremy Swift as Merlin. He was just like the one from Sword in the Stone. Made him a delight to watch.

For what it is, an adolescent fantasy movie, I really enjoyed it. Music had more of a rock feel then previous Descendants movies. Cast was fun to watch.

The writing could have used a little more work. Feels like they were trying a little bit too hard at times.

Ny daughter was SO exited about this but unfortunately did not live up to the other films. The songs are below average (apart from one villain song) the acting is terrible and the whole story is boring. Rita Ora is the best singer and she doesn't have enough screen time. The character Red is sad and unlikable and not in the way I think they wanted her to be portrayed . A few cameos may have saved it but we don't get any. After an our 30 mins we knew this wa snot going to be good !

If you like the other films, don't bother watching this one, just rewatch the originals. Let's hope the new Zombies is better. Very disappointing.

I LOVE the Disney Descendants movies. I'm a Disney adult 100%. But this hurts my heart.

You can definitely tell King Kenny Ortega was not apart of this on any capacity. It lacks all the heart that the first 3 movies had. It's sad because it could have been great, a continuation of a new idea of Disney's stories..

And all the influencers are making it out to be the best in the franchise.. I'm so disappointed.

It's rushed, lacking in chemistry, I don't care for any of the songs, and the story isn't well put together. It's almost like they wanted it to be Disney Descendants and heavily Hamilton. Less movie and more stage production being filmed.

Disney, bring back King Kenny!

This movie feels like the producers had made a bunch of music videos and attempted to thread them all together with the thinest of plots. Great movies show don't tell.

I really loved the first 3. All the songs made sense to the plot and most of the story provided fairly believable character arcs. The actors are doing their best here with a subpar script. It was great to see Uma with her crew. That remix on her song was really fun. She barely has anything to do here. Cinderella and Pronce Charming we also wonderful to see together, even though it was extra lovey lovey. I also enjoyed their teenage counterparts.

Honestly, I could see a version of this story working with these same actors. They just needed a better script!
