Sooooo... Descendants 2. I don't know how coherent my thoughts will be, so I'm just going to rattle off things I remember and we'll roll with it.

Overall, I enjoyed it. I couldn't tell you if I liked it more or about the same as the first, but I will say I had expectations for this movie and did not for the first so that does tend to influence things just a tad.
Also influencing things was the feeling that we'd somehow missed something very important and that we were going to spend the whole movie chasing that thing or just never find it. I'm still not 100% sold on this being intentional. Definitely was for the opening song but after, say, an hour, the movie still felt strangely paced. Which probably had a lot to do with how it ended, honestly.

( So let's skip to the end and spoil it all. )

I enjoyed the end number more than I did the one for the first movie and it seemed like everyone was having a lot of fun so that helped too. Also, like the first movie: everyone show up in long dresses and then have them magically get shorter for the big finale! Good, good times.


Unrelated, but there is a huge spider right by my front door. Huge. o_O
