Movie Reviews of Kronk's New Groove
Movie Review: Typical direct to DVD release
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this movie against my better judgement, given Disney's track record with direct to DVD releases, and this movie just re-inforced my opinion that if it isn't good enough to play in the theater, then it's not worth my time or money. I bought the movie because I loved the original flick, and was hoping that maybe they'd done something more creative with Kronk than they usually do.
I was extremely disappointed and will probably never by another direct to DVD release from Disney again.
All of the characters from the original are included in the movie, as are all of the original gags. The gags don't work this time because they are almost exactly the same gags we saw in the first movie, and the chemistry between the characters isn't there to make them work. The writing and story are both mediocre and best, and are nothing like what Disney is capable of. It's very evident to me that Disney puts the B team to work to make the direct to DVD movies, while reserving the A team for feature films, and the end product shows it.
The only reason I can see for buying this movie is if you have small children who haven't gotten tired of the story line. For older children something along the lines of Valient or Chicken Little would be a better bet. For adults......I'd skip this one all together.
Movie Review: Just OK

I wasn't expecting much from this sequal and Disney gave me what I was expecting. It's a decent story, but not great. Has a few funny parts. I wouldn't recommend buying this for any kid over 10. Also, it had at least 2 inappropriate sexual suggestive lines. Kronk told the evil woman that he had a proposition for her- she looks at him as if she's excited to hear that- then he says "not that kind of proposition". What the hell are the writers at Disney thinking putting that in a Disney animated movie??? I rented this, and since they want to put sex in kids' movies now, I won't be buying it. I can't recall the other sexual innuendo, but it was worse than the one above.Movie Review: Some what Funny...but confussing

Kronk's new groove has a lot of stuff that works, and a lot of stuff that dosen't.
Works
Ezma and Kronk stuff is really funny
ALL orginal actors are back, Goodman, Spade, Kitt they are all there.
Good message, you just have to be yourself.
Doesn't work
There are A LOT of flashbacks. There are even flashbacks in flashbacks!!
Not enough Ezma
Not enough Kuzco(these two made ENG so funny)
Birdseye(Kronk's girl) was annoying
Boring at times
Movie Review: Seems More Like 3 Episodes Of A TV Show...
Summary: 3 Stars
This is basically what you should expect from a Disney sequel: a shameless, mediocre plot which could play out to a couple episodes of a saturday morning cartoon. If you really really like Kronk from the movie, you'll like this if you're over the age of 10. Anyone under 10 will enjoy this, but it's not really more than a bit of family fun. I'd rent this. You may be dissapointed if you're expecting another "The Emperor's New Groove" but hey, just roll with it.Movie Review: Loses steam
Summary: 3 Stars
This sequel is great in the begining, but gets kinda boring after a while. The plot is a little simple and short. The jokes are the best part and will make you laugh. Though not as good as the original, it's still entertaining.
