What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis new "Moana" is a tough sell for people who loved the first one. The story of Moana and Maui's voyage feels like a tired, unoriginal retread, and the low scores for originality and story show that's the biggest complaint. Dwayne Johnson's Maui gets a mixed reception at best, and while a few elements like Tamatoa and Gramma Tala get some love, it's not enough to save it. The overall reaction is negative, with a lot of frustration aimed at Disney for this unnecessary return to Motunui.
