The Descendants: The Rise of Red has an impossible task when it begins: living up to a modern and beloved Disney series. They certainly seem game, as the cast tries really hard, but the material betrays them. This is half a movie, with a non-sensical plot full of contradictions and half-realized ideas.
It is all about getting to that next choreographed dance scene, and none of them come close to reaching the heights of the original trilogy. It is a shame, but at this point, Disney needs to put the gate back up and keep The Descendants universe behind it. Credit Disney The Descendants 4 Is A Mess Part of the problem with this is that it feels like a bunch of SNL skits in between dance numbers.
Brandy is fun to see as Cinderella again, but she is barely in it, same with Rita Ora as the Queen of Hearts and China Anne McClain as the returning Uma. Even the songs and dance sequences fail to meet the standards set by the first three films. There is no energy, no stakes, no coherent story, and it feels like maybe half a movie. I am unsure why they did this, but it is a complete mess.
