VHS Movie Reviews of Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World
Movie Review: Not so bad but not so good either
Summary: 2 Stars
Basically the movie wasn't so good as I espected it to be .I mean the first movie was way much better I could say the Pocahontas 2 discussed me .The hole thing of the movie was that she stays with John Smith and finally she ends up running with another guy that was much more uglier than John Smith .
The cartoon is pretty well realizes the characters looked somehow the same as the ones in the first movie but the context is very poor .So if you really want to enjoy you're Fridays don't choose Pocahontas 2 because it will leave you with a sour taste in you're mouth .
Movie Review: I would give it 0 stars were it possible
Summary: 1 Stars
This sequel completely pisses all over the memory of its brilliant predecessor. I bought the VHS edition when it first came out several years ago and there I was, a bright-eyed kid, ready to be WOWed by more of my favorite heroine and what I got was... essentially, crud.
Now, it wasn't the entire John Rolfe thing that bugged me. I'll admit that I didn't like him, but it wasn't because I'm such a huge John Smith/Pocahontas fan; it was because he was such a boring, humdrum character. The entire story was rushed and just felt so very unncessary. It lacked the dynamic, mood, charm, and heart of the first "Pocahontas." Coincidentally (although not surprisingly), it also lacked the good music.
The real kicker is, I can hardly remember anything concrete about this movie. I remember having seen it a few times and having absolutely hated it, but it's surprisingly forgettable. The only thing is that I can't forget that I actually watched it and that it nearly burned out my retinas and destroyed a few of my brain cells in the process. I oh-so-honestly wish that I could un-watch this heinous direct-to-video sequel (or that Disney would disown it and say they weren't at all thinking straight when they decided to create it), because it was so bad that it nearly ruins the original movie for me.
Movie Review: Love It
Summary: 5 Stars
I really liked this movie. I agree that in the beginning I wanted Pocahontas with John Smith but if you see correctly John Smith acted sooooo differently from Pocahontas I. He was sooo egotistic and selfish. Yea he did still love Pocahontas but compared to John Rolfe, Rolfe seemed so much more better then Smith. Rolfe seemed to care a little more about Pocahontas and knows her much more then Smith did. Movie Review: Not worth the paper she was drawn on
Summary: 1 Stars
Historical inaccuracies aside.....was there any need for a second movie?
Frankly, this is right up there with Sister Act II as far as unnecessary sequels go.
If I were you, I'd spend my afternoon or evening going for a walk or reading a good book instead. You'll appreciate the memories.
That's all.
Movie Review: looking through the eyes of a child
Summary: 5 Stars
I guess I don't look at the techical aspects of these Disney movies. I look at how my daughter responds to them. She loved Pocahontas and became so interested that we took her to Jamestown. She loved that too. As for Pocahontas II, I think she would have been just as happy with it no matter what the ending was. It kind of helped that Pocahontas ended up with John Rolfe in the movie--try explaining to a 4 year old who has only seen the first one that in real life she married John Rolfe, not John Smith. Don't get me wrong, I'm ok with the movies not being historically accurate, after all they are just cartoons. Even at the age of 4 my daughter is able to enjoy both movies over and over again, and still learn about what really happened to Pocahontas at Jamestown and in England. So on that note, if she's happy, then I'm happy.
