Frozen II was enjoyable and better than the first movie, in my opinion. I was on the edge of my seat the entire movie. It is not a must to have seen the original movie, but it would definitely improve your enjoyment.

     Elsa hears singing from a distant place and goes on this journey with her sister, Ana, and their friends Cristoff and Olaf. This place they find gives explanations as to why Ana and Elsa's parents died and they meet many people along the way as well. Meanwhile, as all of these events happen, Ana is figuring out how to let go of her sister and trust her no matter how much she wants to remain by her side. Ana then starts her own adventure while Elsa discovers where her powers originate from. Elsa then finds herself in trouble and the whole team works together to live happily ever after again.

     The movie is a remake of the original TV series Fantasy Island in the late 1970’s. There are a lot of things that are very similar to the original, like the outfits, the house, the island resort, and the description of both the movie and the TV series. This movie stars Lucy Hale as one of the main characters and she is the one the plot twist revolves around. 

     This was a very good movie and leaves you wondering: would you change your past if you got the chance to? This definitely has to be one of my favorite suspenseful thriller movies. Each person’s story unrevealed itself within their fantasy. Fantasy Island exhibited a lot of character development throughout the whole movie and a major plot twist toward the end of the movie. In my opinion, the plot twist made what the movie was about and it put each person’s fantasy and story together. The movie was like a puzzle and each person was a an important piece. When you find out the plot twist, it brings all the pieces of the puzzle together and it definitely catches the viewer's attention. The theme of this movie, in my opinion, would be “Be careful what you wish for.”

The movie Jumanji The Next Level is a followup sequel for the remake of the original Jumanji that was made in 1995. It still carries the same theme as the first film made of people playing a game and all of a sudden the game comes to life. The only difference now is the “players” get “sucked” into the game instead of staying where they are at, and the characters are not children playing with an adult they are teenagers/young adults playing along, so it becomes more relatable. The movie is a so called fantasy/action, but I believe it to be more of a comedy with the histarics that are displayed, meaning it is very funny and I got a good laugh out of it. The actors Dewayne Johnson and Kevin Hart have always been a great pair; this movie definitely made that known. Furthermore, another theme could be to not take too much for granted of what you have because it can easily be taken away. When brought into a game, Bethany became a man then back into a horse. Lots of teamwork was honored in this movie with everyone only getting three chances to stay alive and complete the challenges in the time they had. I would for surely recommend this movie.
