For a movie packed with songs, you would think they would put more effort into writing better music and casting stronger singers (looking at you, Dwayne Johnson). But even if you can overlook the lacklustre soundtrack, the plot is just as generic and pointless as the songs. Moana's abilities feel arbitrary, and every step of the story follows suit. The climax falls flat, resolving itself through a technical loophole that brings little emotional payoff. If anything, this movie feels like a throwback to the dark days of Disney’s straight-to-VHS cash grab sequels.

Robert Pattinson delivers a standout performance, and the praise he’s received is well deserved, but even his acting isn't enough to pull the film out of its ultimate pitfall.

The relationship between Daniel and Mr. Miyagi offers a rare moment of Hollywood acknowledging Japanese people as more than just wartime adversaries.
However, strip away the nostalgia, and what's left is a shallow, feel-good story that barely scratches the surface of its themes. Mr. Miyagi, despite being the film's most compelling character, is reduced to a…
