Youngsters who are ready to be introduced to the wonder of musicals would be better off discovering an old chestnut such as 1939′s "Babes in Arms." Go to Full Review

Descendants: The Rise of Red is a mixed bag. I really enjoyed this cast and the music, but there were a lot of missed opportunities and holes in the story that tied back to the writing team. Go to Full Review

What might have been once fantastical Disney effects are now purse-sized disappointments -- a time machine is a pocket-watch; the magic mirror a compact. Go to Full Review

5.2/10
While the effort is certainly there, it still can’t quite reach the highs of its predecessors, instead offering a fourth installment that is lackluster in both its musical moments and overarching story. Go to Full Review

Noah H. @Noah85 Jan 16 The ending was pretty abrupt, some songs were boring, and the return of Uma just felt like nostalgia bait but overall I enjoyed it. The new characters were cute, especially Bridget. BRIDGET WAS ADORABLE!!!!! I JUST WANTED TO HUG HER THE WHOLE TIME!!!! I even loved how it expanded the Descendants universe by introducing us to Wonderland. Chloe and Red are really cool protagonists in my opinion and you can tell that Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker were both having a BLAST. The pocket watch time machine was really cool as well. In fact, that’s something I absolutely ADORED about this movie. The time travel adventure was really fun, in my opinion. I am MASSIVE fan of time travel movies so I enjoyed that. I also thought that Uliana was a decent villain too. As a whole, Descendants: The Rise of Red may not be perfect, but there’s still a lot to love in this. Rating: 6/10 See more Logan G. @SequelsArentAlwaysBad12 Jan 9 Descendants: The Rise of Red is a mediocre movie and the worst Descendants movie with only ok songs, and action. See more Josiah R. @Josiah208 Nov 24 I love this movie so much is so good. I want to dance and sing to it. It’s my favorite movie ever way than the original it’s just my opinion.

See more tiago m Sep 27 É muito fraco, mas tem bons momentos. É estranho os personagens começarem a cantar rap do meio do nada, o GGI é muito ruim e o roteiro coloca as situações de uma maneira rasa e genérica, indo de um ponto a a um ponto b de uma forma tanto fez como tanto faz. Mas existem bons momentos. See more Read all reviews
