Adam’s review published on Letterboxd:
Fails to reach the emotional heights of its predecessor under the weight of a rushed script. It feels very evident this wasn't originally meant to be a feature and there was a pivot in the 11th hour. The musical numbers are also underwhelming and lackluster. However, this is still a serviceable film thanks to some stunning visuals, a pulse-pounding third act, and a winning performance by Auli’i Cravalho. The final product is lovely but underwhelming.
