Moana 2 (PG): "Nigel Farage's Worst Nightmare"*
One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Moana 2". Confusing (for kids) and disjointed Disney sequel disappoints. 2.5/5.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “Moana 2” (2024). * This title (C) The Illustrious Mrs Movie Man! “Moana 2” – the sequel to Disney’s 2016’s smash hit “Moana” – was originally designed as a Disney+ series… and sadly it shows. That hasn’t stopped it racing to over 600 million dollars at the box office since its release just over 2 weeks ago. Which just proves to me… that kids are really not all…

"Moana 2"
A sequel that sorely lacks the magic, heart, and cherished original songs that made the original film so memorable.
In a world where a majority of animated movies feel like cheap corporate cash grabs, “Moana 2” may be among the worst offenders. On the surface, the movie has all the ingredients for another mega hit: quirky characters, rich cultural elements, captivating mythical references, and lush animation that has become the hallmark of Disney films (and rightfully so). Unfortunately, the paint-by-numbers…

MOANA 2 (2024)
Featuring the voices of Auliʻi Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson, Temuera Morrison, Nicole Scherzinger, Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda, Rose Matafeo, David Fane, Hualālai Chung, Rachel House, Awhimai Fraser, Gerald Ramsey, Alan Tudyk, Jasmine Johnson and Tiana Johnson.
Screenplay by Jared Bush and Dana Ledoux Miller.
Directed by David Derrick Jr. and Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller.
Distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. 100 minutes. Rated PG.
The recent surge in Disney sequels both released and planned makes me less and less hopeful to once again see the heart that was once in the company’s movies. The original Moana was an incredible tribute to Polynesian culture, with likeable characters, plot, music, and visuals. I honestly feel that it was one of Disney’s last soulful films. With the very small exception of Encanto, the company has struggled to put mastery and magic into their golden road to make films. When I was invited to see Moana 2, I was not hopeful. Especially considering that I was made aware ahead of time that it was originally intended to be a series on Disney+.
During the movie itself, I expected to see a clear change that would make it obvious that the original plan had changed, however there were moments I could tell were supposed to be the end of an episode. An example of this would be the mission within the “Giant Clam” when there is a moment of tension that is cut off, most likely because the episode was to leave off on a cliffhanger. Unfortunately, this formula left too many plotlines to follow and not enough time to develop the characters. 
Disney is aware of how great the first movie was. I can only assume that is why references to it were placed into the script one too many times. A callback to the original work is often essential for a sequel. However, the sheer number of blatant quotations and references felt unnatural as I watched. I could also not help but feel disconnected from the setting due to the concerning number of modern-day references. After one too many, they just did not land for me as I really tried to see the movie as a continuation of Disney’s take on Polynesian mythology.
The animation of the movie remained aesthetically beautiful. However, I did notice small differences in quality from the sequel compared to the original movie. Considering the film was meant to be a series to stream instead of seen in theaters, this does not surprise me. Regardless, the movie had incredible visual concepts and displayed some breathtaking work throughout.
The cast was a welcome factor as hearing their voices made some dialogue choices more bearable for me. Returning as Moana and Maui were Auli’i Cravalo and Dwayne Johnson, respectively. The characters they play share a unique dynamic on screen that I was happy to see had evolved naturally from the first movie. Overall, their performances were well done. And it was great to hear Alan Tudyk return as Heihei, as Tudyk is always a welcome presence.
The new characters added to the main cast were voiced by Hualalai Chung (Moni), Rose Matafeo (Loto), and David Fane (Kele). Despite my feelings for the characters themselves, the cast still performed great from a voice acting standpoint. One character in particular that I was actually invested in, but was left disappointed as she did not turn out to be an actual villain was Matangi, voiced by Awhimai Fraser. Initially the movie presented her as the first real threat of a character, but unfortunately it turned out to be just a misleading fake-out. With such a great design and voice performance, I had really hoped to see a new real villain in a modern animated Disney movie.
My final thoughts are that Disney needs to put more power into their creative minds. Not every movie needs a sequel, but if they absolutely must make one, raise the whole story higher in a way that respects the original art. As for Moana 2 itself, the coconut managed to be my favorite character, despite his lack of any dialogue. I found his mannerisms and body language the most entertaining of any of the new characters.

Sapa có thêm khách sạn JW Marriott Sapa Resort & Spa do kiến trúc sư dị biệt nổi tiếng thế giới Bill Bensley thiết kế
Marketing Advisor đã viết bài trên http://bdsvietnam247.com/sapa-co-them-khach-san-jw-marriott-sapa-resort-spa-do-kien-truc-su-di-biet-noi-tieng-the-gioi-bill-bensley-thiet-ke/
Sapa có thêm khách sạn JW Marriott Sapa Resort & Spa do kiến trúc sư dị biệt nổi tiếng thế giới Bill Bensley thiết kế
Được biết, JW Marriott Sapa Sapa Resort & Spa là dự án nổi bật mà Alphanam Group sẽ triển khai tại Lào Cai – địa phương trọng điểm của kế hoạch phát triển chuỗi khách sạn, khu nghỉ dưỡng cao cấp mang thương hiệu quốc tế của tập đoàn này trong giai đoạn 2020-2030. Sự xuất hiện của thương hiệu JW Marriott sẽ chính thức đưa Sapa trở thành một điểm đến tầm cỡ dành cho phân khúc khách hàng cao cấp trên bản đồ du lịch quốc tế.
Bill Bensley được biết đến là Kiến trúc sư tài năng bậc nhất thế giới trong những năm gần đây. Ông là tác giả của hơn 190 resort và khách sạn tại 30 quốc gia. Mỗi sản phẩm của vị Kiến trúc sư người Mỹ đều là một kiệt tác kết hợp hài hòa giữa thiên nhiên, con người địa phương và những phá cách sáng tạo về kiến trúc.
Sức sáng tạo của Bill Bensley là không giới hạn. Ông được Fast Company công nhận là 1 trong 100 nhân vật sáng tạo nhất mọi thời đại, có tên trong danh sách Architectural Digest 100 danh giá dành cho các kiến trúc sư hàng đầu thế giới. Các công trình tiêu biểu mang dấu ấn của Bill Bensley có thể kể đến như Four Seasons Resort Hualalai (Mỹ), The St. Regis Bali (Indonesia), Indigo Pearl (Thái Lan); Shinta Mani Club (Lào)…
Ở Việt Nam, Bill Bensley để lại những dấu ấn mạnh mẽ với các khách sạn, khu nghỉ dưỡng được vinh danh ở những giải thưởng danh giá nhất thế giới là Continental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort; JW Marriott Emerald Bay Phú Quốc và Hotel De La CoupoleMGallery (Sapa, Lào Cai). Những sản phẩm này trực tiếp góp phần nâng tầng du lịch Việt Nam, đáp ứng nhu cầu cao nhất của khách hàng giới thượng lưu. Nhờ vậy, Bill Bensley được Time Out dẫn đầu danh sách bình chọn Top 10 nhân vật có ảnh hưởng đến du lịch Việt Nam năm 2018.
Bà Nguyễn Ngọc Mỹ – Giám đốc điều hành CTCP Đầu tư Alphanam và Kiến trúc sư Bill Bensley ký hợp đồng dịch vụ thiết kế dự án JW Marriott Sapa Resort.
Bill Bensley vốn nổi tiếng là khắt khe khi lựa chọn các đơn vị chủ đầu tư để đồng hành trong những dự án lớn. Bill Bensley lựa chọn hợp tác với Alphanam Group là vì nhận thấy điểm chung giữa 2 bên trong câu chuyện tại Sapa. Đó là mong muốn kiến tạo một sản phẩm nghỉ dưỡng đẳng cấp, có dấu ấn riêng biệt nhưng vẫn đảm bảo sự hoà hợp với thiên nhiên, văn hoá và con người để hướng đến sự phát triển bền vữngchoSapa.
Theo tìm hiểu, JW Marriott Sapa Resort & Spa sau khi được hoàn thiện cơ sở vật chất dưới sự đầu tư của Alphanam Group thì toàn bộ khâu vận hành sẽ được bàn giao lại cho Marriott International để đảm bảo cung cấp các dịch vụ nghỉ dưỡng theo tiêu chuẩn quốc tế cao nhất.
Tại Việt Nam, Alphanam Group hiện đã đi vào vận hành 2 khách sạn quốc tế là Four Points by Sheraton Đà Nẵng và Altara Suites Đà Nẵng. Alphanam Group cũng đang là đối tác lớn nhất tại Việt Nam của Marriott International và một số đơn vị vận hàng quốc tế danh tiếng.
Không lâu trước khi ký hợp đồng với Bill Bensley, Alphanam Group cũng đã ký kết thỏa thuận hợp tác với Lào Cai để phát triển chuỗi dự án khách sạn quốc tế tại địa phương này. Được biết, Lào Cai là địa phương trọng điểm trong các kế hoạch đầu tư của Alphanam Group vì nơi đây là chính là quê hương của gia đình Chủ tịch HĐQT tập đoàn này – ông Nguyễn Tuấn Hải.
