The story is not interesting, and adding new character. it like they try to push the 4 main one down with this Uma character. The dance is not as sharp as the old one. The last scene where a dragon fight with an octopus, really? In many way, everyone know dragon would kill that octopus for lunch not like it has a very hard time fighting it. come on Disney, you guys really going down hill.

I am actually a fan of Descendants 1 & 2 because i really love musical movies and after the high school musical they actually made another amazing work. First lets go to the characters, I believe the characters are a perfect cast to this movies and seeing from the movie they put all their hearts out making this movie very entertaining and memorable to the viewers. Second the story, it is so original and fun that the sons and daughters of the prince and princess are actually reunited in a movie with their twist of love and friendships. Lastly the music, I was stunned and always waiting for the parts where they will sing but of course every part is good and will never give you snooze. All of the songs I really enjoyed it! it will stuck in your mind and always wanting to hear their songs which always made me happy and energetic all the way. Keep up the good work Disney and I really do hope that they will make another Descendants.Overall: 10/10

In the Magic Kingdom I'm sure on the boards are plans for Descendents 3 and 4 or as many as the franchise and the contracts of the young players will allow. For myself I was having the same trouble I did with the first one, reconciling where Oredon and the Isle of the Lost were in relation to this plane of existence. In fact I keep thinking of Oredon as Oregon and maybe we all ought to move out there.The four children of villains Dove Cameron, Booboo Stewart, Sofia Carson, and Cameron Boyce are settling nicely into Oredonian life, but there's a twinge of homesickness. Ready able and willing to take advantage of that twinge is Cameron's old rival Chyna Ann McLain. She gets a hold of the spell book and strange things start happening.The cast is attractive and the principal players talented both musically and dramatically. Descendents 2 is a pleasant bit of viewing.

The first was okay--cheesy, but still with good songs (except for the stinkin' RAP "Be Our Guest") and great acting, but this is horrible. No matter what director they get, Disney cannot make one sequel original. Here, Mal feels evil and is on the Isle of the Lost. She also tries to trick someone into eating a poisoned food to make him do what she wants. The baddies' kids try to steal the fairy godmother's wand. Someone turns into a dragon. Sound familiar? I don't get why Disney, which can make the most magical movies, has to make a replica of the first. And what's the point of the fairy godmother's wand, anyway? Why not keep Maleficent's staff? And wouldn't Uma want King Triton's trident? The acting is poor, if you'd even call it acting. It seems like the actors just memorized the lines and recited them blandly. Urusla, who is kind of a human-squid, should have squid-ish tentacles, but instead, she looks like rubber. Almost all CGI was poor. It seems these great actors are put to waste. Like another said, Cameron Boyce (Carlos) is amazing, yet is always in the background. And did you know that Booboo Stewart (Jay) was actually in X-men AND Twilight? Then they're in this rubbish. Oh, and also, though "It's Going Down" was a great song, Ben's part was HORRIBLE. He's a great singer, but it was mushy, and he looked too innocent.No, not everything is wrong with it. Though like someone else said, spelling "wicked" out loud would get you bullied, "Ways to Be Wicked" is catchy. China Anne McClain is a good singer. The CGI of the dragon is good, and I loved that Lonnie, Mulan's daughter, finally got to show of her fighting skills.And no, disliking this does not mean you are a Disney hater. Disney lovers don't love everything Disney. Instead, they treasure Disney, especially the classics, and know and can tell when something is different or not as special, like this.On the other hand, this is targeted toward kids, so they may enjoy it. That's why I'm giving it extra stars. In the end, great for kids under 8. Stinks for people that expect it to match the original or want CGI as good as the live-action Jungle Book or as good acting and character depth as Tangled. No one who expects the characters to be the same as they were in their original classics will be satisfied. So if you're over 8, skip this.
