Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
EnemyPavement A while back I rewatched this movie with a friend more or less as a joke. But wile watching, I realized...It's not that bad.In fact, It's pretty good. Granted, it's not a great film but considering it's a straight-to-video sequel that no one asked for, they actually seemed to make it work. The movie takes a look at the life of the original film's comic relief character Kronk. A character who, originally, was nothing more than a goofy ripped guy who could cook and talk to squirrels. But in this film, they actually gave Kronk the depth he deserved. It's also surprisingly funny. the work itself is probably a 5 or a 6.But then I took into consideration the following:It seems as though Disney actually hired competent writers and animators to make a cheap sequel this time around. It feels like the writers truly cared about the first film and the work they were doing. They stayed within the thematic and tonal confines of the first film while also keeping consistent with the same brand of humor.This film was a labor of love. And though it's far from perfect, they managed to make a decent film in a low budget studio that is known only for continually producing DVDs of crappy sequels that do nothing except tarnish the rep of the films they're spun from.So I give it 10 stars for being the best Straight-to-video sequel out there.
MaxJSteele Another unnecessary sequel from those pesky cartoonists at Disney, right? A less-than-acclaimed original in the first place, right? Sure, I can agree with those sentiments; after all, I thought them as I popped in the DVD, watching only on the recommendation of a less than reliable source. Yet all I can say is I enjoyed it."Kronk's New Groove" includes some of the crude humor becoming increasingly present in Disney's 21st century work, but beyond that point it is a fun little story about burly henchman-turned-chef Kronk, best remembered for his idle squirrel chit chat in the original. Here, Kronk finds himself trying to please his father, but struggling when his conscience intervenes with his efforts.But story is not what carries this movie. It is the delightful anachronisms, the self-defacing humor, the cross-dressing, the parodies, and the PERFECT voice provided by Patrick Wharburton to Kronk that makes this so much fun. The story alone is predictable, but with edgy humor ornamenting it, the movie draws laughs (and maybe even a tear).So before writing "Kronk" off as another waste of time and animation by the Disney brain-trust, check it out at Hollywood Video or Blockbuster. It was well worth the $3.00, in my opinion.
xlildancerx43 I don't know, I was just expecting more out of Kronk's New Groove. I especially loved the 1st movie, but this one just didn't "pop" I thought it was very cute and funny, but it's like I can't explain it. I was expecting something just like or even better than the first movie. It seemed like it just all-of-a-sudden ended too. I think some scenes weren't necessary, and overall it was okay. I'm not saying it's a terrible movie, or a really good movie either. I obviously thought Yzma would be in the movie more often, but its like in the beginning, she has the youth potion, its fake, then POOF! She's gone for the rest of the story.I definitely liked the first movie a whole lot better.
Alias 90 I ordered Kronks New Groove - Highly recommended.When I ordered this DVD I had no expectations, I had no idea what the movie was going to be like, I trusted my instincts and thought it was going to be good, it was not good, it was amazing.Emperors new groove 1 was a smash hit for Disney, it was fresh, original and funny. Now what I find strange is why they didn't release Kronks New Groove in the cinema because it was just as good as the first movie.There is a lovely love interest for Kronk that really spurs much more humor in the movie.The Movie starts off a bit slow and gradually builds up to a spectacular ending. One of Disneys finest animated classics.Also includes a rather funny 'How to cook a movie' featured, and 2 new games.
