Bland, demeaning and flat.
17 August 2017
How come making a sequel to the most mature and dark Disney movies ever ended up in this pile of cheesy c**p! Hell, the gargoyles were annoying characters in the original, now everything else is dumbed down to that level.

I can't express my anger towards this effort: the songs are just awful and forgettable, the animation is flat and sickeningly bright, and the dialogue is sometimes eye-rollingly stupid. Example: the main object of the movie is a bell which is BEAUTIFUL ON THE INSIDE! GET IT, STUPID AUDIENCE! that's what I think about that line.

By demeaning I mean taking all these talented actors who reprise their roles from the original and let them perform this shitty script. It is just out of respect of the real talents of such great actors.

The new characters are either annoying (the little new kid, ugh!), bland and unappealing like Quasimodo's romance Madeleine (She has a personality of a pre-schooler, come on) and that villain has a vain personality which outmatches Gaston.

The original had animation with an epic cinematic scope and a bombastic musical score which made Notre Dame and the rest of Paris look incredible with massive crowds, great angles and three- dimensional settings. Forget all that! Now we have animation of equal quality of an 80's TV-show and stilted characters with no personlities. Go suck it!

And why does the movie contradict itself by making a travelling circus the antagonist? To me they look a lot like the gypsies from the original and they were fighting for acceptance by Parisian society, remember?

We had to suffer all of this crap just because Quasimodo didn't get the girl in the first movie. Thanks a lot for ruining Disney's most mature and socially aware efforts.
