This movie is very good. From the clips I have seen online, it is beautifully made. The ice graphics are very well done, and so are the characters, albeit they are a little... uhh... cliche. But hey, this is Disney, Cliche' comes with the package deal.
The portrayal of ice powers in this movie is wonderful! It is rare that I see ice powers being used in such a way in any genre, if it is really portrayed at all. Building an ice castle, freezing the land, ice staircase, all wonderful!
The movie does come off as overly cliche' though. Some parts are shocking, but also foreseeable. The prince in this movie backstabs her, as is obvious if anyone was watched movies ever that this was going to happen. But although it was obvious, it isn't portrayed in the movie. The Prince shows no signs of committing treason, yet he suddenly shifts gears. As with the end, Elsa tries for the whole damn movie to control her powers. She tries to contain them, but the more she feels emotions, the worse they get. And suddenly, at the end of the movie, she finally learns how to control her powers, via Love. Because love is the answer to everything.
Also, the village that once was shocked due to her magic, suddenly loves her dearly and without question at the end of the video, even to the point of publicly frolicking in her magical skating rink.
You think that Elsa becomes a bad guy in the movie, as is thought in the above music clip. But nope! Despite the fact that she transitions into someone who obviously looks the part of the bad guy, she has no clue that she is doing anything wrong, and actually left to shut herself away from society so she would not hurt anyone ever again. Why she has to alter her look, demeanor, and entire dress style into one suitable for a bad guy for this part is unknown.
Speaking of unknown, we also havn't a damn clue why she has powers in the first place, or why no one else in her family does. Her parents die early in the movie for some unknown reason, so they can't help much. In fact, they forced Elsa's sister Anna to forget that her sister ever had powers, and somehow this was supposed to play in the story plot. She didn't know whilst growing up, but she did find out as soon as it was revealed to everyone else, the memory loss associated with her sister's powers just seem trivial, if not pointless.
The music in this movie is pretty damn good, some songs are kinda meh, but at least the two mentioned above in the videos, they make the whole movie a whole lot better.
Oh, and there is also a lot of comic relief... a LOT of comic relief, probably too much comic relief.
I say this movie is definitely worth a watch, watch it and see for yourself
