Reviews

Disenchanted has received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its charming performances and catchy musical numbers, while others criticize its overly familiar plot and lackluster storytelling. The film has a 5.6/10 rating on IMDb and a Metacritic score of 50/100. Rotten Tomatoes' critics' consensus states, 'Amy Adams shines as Giselle once again, but the magic of the first film is somewhat lost in this sequel.' Variety commends Adams for her 'effortless charisma' and the vibrant production design, but notes that the storyline feels predictable and fails to capture the same enchantment as its predecessor. Overall, Disenchanted offers a nostalgic trip back to the fairy-tale world, but falls short of recapturing the original's magic.'
