Let The Storm Rage On | The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway

[redbrunja]

I've been avoiding reviews and commentary about Frozen because I wanted to experience it as unbiased as I could, but last night I saw it and:

• I FUCKING LOVED IT.


• Seriously, I laughed SO DAMN MUCH.


• I cannot stress how glad I am that Kristin Bell is finally in a movie worth/that I have some desire to see.


• I was a little disappointed that Elsa/Kristoff and then Anna/Hans didn't end up together. When Anna and Hans were having their cute duet I was really hoping that they'd end up together, instead of doing the cliche 'first guy is the wrong guy.' Plus, Elsa MADE ICE. Kristoff WORKS WITH ICE. I was imagining Kristoff and Elsa at Anna's wedding, off in a corner together, going 'knew him ONE DAY and she decided to marry him.' 'I know, right? Who does that?'


• I loved that the 'act of true love' turned out to be an action that Anna took but I still think Disney needs to rewatch Mulan and Anastasia and take notes on who to write climaxes for their heroines. (That's what she said.) The last thirty minutes were BY FAR the weakest part of the movie.


• I was also rolling my eyes at the fact that they imported the horse from Tangled into this movie.


• Let It Go was just AMAZING.


• I cannot stress how happy I am that the resolution of Elsa's arc was using her magic and rediscovering the joy; I have no time for stories that declare magic as evil Just Because.


• qualapec and I sent some quality time after the movie talking about how much we'd like to see Elsa and Anna's country attacked and how we'd enjoy seeing Elsa just CURB-STOMP whoever dared attack her country.

This is definitely going on my top five movies of 2014 (regardless of release date, I organize movies by when I see them). (Or maybe not, depending on how/if my opinion changes based on commentary.)

holy shit i came out of the movie shipping ALL the wrong things, and this makes me feel a little better haha. (i mean, i'm fairly okay with the canon ships but i had my heart set on kristoff/elsa and hans/anna. that said, i'm not here for people excusing hans' canonical terribleness, of which i have already seen FAR too much.)

Oh, fuck that. Say it came out of no where until you lips turn blue (which it did, and he did act super-nice when no one was watching) but don't try to excuse the CHARACTER.
