Oh man...
First off, I loved the first Pocahontas. That is, until I saw this one. Now I can never really enjoy it to the same level again, at least not until a few years from now when I've forgotten about this awful thing.
While it's wonderful that Disney attempted to set things right, they couldn't have done it in any worse way. I hated Rolfe from the beginning; he never develops once. That's pretty tough considering that he's the "romantic hero"... and pretty much having a romance is an easy way to develop someone. Not this guy, though, he's about as endearing as a steel pole.
I hate the tea chick, which is what I'm going to call her for lack of knowing her name. The woman, to whose charge Pocahontas is placed, seems like a feeble attempt to make me like John Rolfe: "Oh, he and this sweet if blundering old lady have an affectionate relationship! He's a good guy after all! Oh Pocahontas, soon you'll see that!" BLECH, it was so painfully obvious that she was...
who is this guy, and what did he do with John Smith!
When I first heard that Disney was making a sequel to "Pocahontas", I wondered if they would do it jusice, or butcher it. Obviously, they got themselves in quite a predicament here. They couldn't be true to the original without murdering history and they couldn't be true to history (what gave them the urge to suddenly be loyal to history, anyway?) without murdering the original. The brilliant solution: murder both! Okay, let me put in more detail. First of all, they took John Smith, who was my favorite of Disney's male heros, and not only drained his brain, but drained his heart. He doesn't even care when he finds out that Pocahontas fell for John Rolfe! Honestly! And what's the big idea of making Pocahontas fall for him anyway! The Rolfe guy is a total jerk,and suddenly Pocahontas loves him!They didn't want us to like John Smith anymore, that's what it is! They didn't want us to say "Come on, Pocahontas, you know who you really love!" No, they...
AAAHHH!! HORRIBLE SEQUEL!!!!
THIS IS THE MOST AWFUL MOVIE EVER!!!!
I LOVE the original Pocahontas and that is probably one of my favorite Disney movies. But I DID NOT LIKE THIS MOVIE!!!!! DON'T EVER SEE THIS MOVIE!!! AAHH!!! Save yourself the torture!!!
The songs were obviously pathetic seeing that I can't remember any of them, whereas I remember the songs from other good Disney movies that I haven't seen in years! They totally botched the original characters, drew them awfully, and the ones they added were disgusting. John Rolfe is definitely a creep, but apparently he's "historically accurate." To heck with historically accurate! Who CARES? It's a Disney movie!!! NONE of them are historically accurate, and nobody cares!
So here's the storyline: Pocahontas goes to England as "an ambassador of peace" to stop the British king from attacking her people. There she meets John Rolfe, they fall in love. Then they go to an English ball where Pocahontas will prove to the king that she and...
