Movie Reviews of Kronk's New Groove
Movie Review: A well-deserved thumbs-up! It's really much better than you'd expect from another Disney DTV sequel...
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm one of those people that usually thinks the Disney direct-to-video sequels are usually best left to rot. (Bambi II? what the heck?) But I'm also one of those people who think that the Emperor's New Groove is one of the most underrated movies that Disney ever made. So I couldn't help but give Kronk's New Groove a try. The final verdict? Well, while most of the jokes are indeed recycled from the first film and the three stories in one movie plot feels a little forced, it's still quite good. I'll take a good recycled joke over a brand-new dud any day. The performances from the returning voice cast are all top notch (thank god we don't have to put up with any pale imitations this time). The "be true to your groove" message is heartfelt and true to the story. And any Disney movie that has the chutzpah to incorporate an old Earth, Wind & Fire song is just fine by me. True, it's not as good as the first movie, but all in all, it's a darned fine flick. (And Tracy Ullman lends a nice Katherine Hepburn-y touch as Ms. Birdwell also.)Movie Review: Bout time
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read some of the reviews about this, and everyone has their opinions. I have no quarrels with them. However, my opinion would be that this movie should have been the first one. I say that not because the plot is better. I say this because I think Kronk steals the show in Emperor's. His one word lines, his kitchen scene taking over the chef at the restaurant, the ability to talk to squirrels. It's priceless. David Spade, in my opinion, did nothing to steal the show, and in fact, he really didn't have many lines that were funny. The show was drab until Kronk came into the scene.
Which is why I much, much prefer this movie over the first. It focuses on the Kronk and keeps Spade at a distance. Apparently Kronk had to have been a favorite to someone or he wouldn't have gotten a movie based around him. Not a 5 star because Spade's still in it haha.
Movie Review: A good sequel, especially for Disney
Summary: 4 Stars
My family and I loved the Emperor's New Groove, and our favorite part was Kronk, so when Kronk's New Groove came out it was met with equal parts anticipation and dread. Anticipation for obvious reasons, but dread due to Disney's love for half-baked straight to video sequels that aren't worthy of being in the same area code as the original.
Kronk's New Groove is a great movie, holding to the same light-hearted fun as the first, if not being quite at the same budget, which shows a little. But Kronk's Groove holds some of the same great characters while introducing a few more. I must admit, I was fearful of what politically correct love-interest they would bring out for Kronk, but Miss Birdwell was refreshingly not any expected stereotype. The movie, if a bit predictable, was great fun, and highly recommended, especially if you loved Kronk from the first one.
Movie Review: could have been better, still worthy of adding to your library
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed the movie!
It definately could have been a bit better.
they didnt need to add ALL the characters back from the origional. And making sure they did kinda took away from other things they could have added to enrich the story line instead of muddleing it down a bit.
I LOVE KRONK, they made a very likeable and sweet charater here, how could you not like him!!!
OHH and I really enjoyed catching some of the nostalgic "dances" and scences they threw in there for some of us 30 somethings... How could you not giggle at the reference to 80's Micheal Jackson with the white glove and dance!
Movie Review: A fun video to enjoy watching with your kids
Summary: 4 Stars
My family enjoyed this watching this video. It's very colorful and the songs can be toe-tapping. The younger kids enjoyed it the most, as it is very fast moving. Lots of action. It's kind of a nice story, and it kept the attention of the kids. The story line isn't outstanding, but the technology make it interesting. Looking at the credits we were amazed at the number of people it took to make this video. Also, this video has an array of extras which kept everyone occupied. We'll watch it over and over.
