Disney’s highly anticipated live-action remake of Moana has finally hit theaters — and the reviews are mixed. While fans are flocking to cinemas, critics have been less kind, calling it a “pointless” retread of the 2016 animated classic.
What the Critics Say
The live-action Moana, directed by Thomas Kail, has been criticized for lacking the charm of the original. Fox News reports the remake has been “ravaged by critics.” The visual effects are praised, but many argue the film doesn’t justify itself.
