Says a lot about a film and its prospects when only 2 of the original cast are involved. Not only that it is flat from the get go that Kenny Ortega's directing/ choreography is not included in the film which just puts a dampener on the whole film. Overall the film isn't the most terrible thing to have ever watched and a good one for younger ones (watched with a 9 year old who loved it). Plot holes especially towards the end of the film and many things that just don't make sense. A highlight of the film was by far China Anne McClain's performance of Uma, very excited by the reprise of "What my name" from the second movie a great feature for older views who grew up watching the original film(s).
Not gonna lie, I was STUPID excited when I saw Brandy was going to be Cinderella. She's my favorite version of the character. I think I was more excited to see her than anything else. And I was happy they got Paolo Montalban to come back as Charming.
And I loved Jeremy Swift as Merlin. He was just like the one from Sword in the Stone. Made him a delight to watch.
For what it is, an adolescent fantasy movie, I really enjoyed it. Music had more of a rock feel then previous Descendants movies. Cast was fun to watch.
The writing could have used a little more work. Feels like they were trying a little bit too hard at times.

Ny daughter was SO exited about this but unfortunately did not live up to the other films. The songs are below average (apart from one villain song) the acting is terrible and the whole story is boring. Rita Ora is the best singer and she doesn't have enough screen time. The character Red is sad and unlikable and not in the way I think they wanted her to be portrayed . A few cameos may have saved it but we don't get any. After an our 30 mins we knew this wa snot going to be good !
If you like the other films, don't bother watching this one, just rewatch the originals. Let's hope the new Zombies is better. Very disappointing.

As someone who grew up with the Descendants Trilogy I remember watching the first one air on TV for the first time in my grandparents living room. I was in love with everything about the movie. The story, the characters, and of course the songs. So when I heard a fourth film would be coming out, it made sense to me that I would be watching it, having fun, and loving the songs. However, I think I'd rather have my head cut off than watch this again. I will say, when I saw Brandy and Paulo come onto the screen, I began to shed a tear, for I also grew up watching the Cinderella movie. Their voices were both so powerful in that movie. When I heard Brandy start singing, the autotune made me cry. Full on ball. The autotune within everyone in the film was utterly rancid. Definitely the worst of the 4.
This movie was so bad and gave me a headache. It is obviously nothing like the first 3 which is what I expected but I did not think it would be this bad. The plot makes absolutely no sense and completely goes against what was true in the originals. The music, acting, and directing is bad. Also the costumes were terrible which was something I really liked in 1,2,and3. Only thing I liked was that the original Uma and Fairy Godmother were in it. This movie was veryveyvegryyryverrryyyy disappointing and boring. I didn't even finish it bc I needed to turn it off. Also the sets were bad. And the movie felt uncomplete. Making this movie was completely unnecessary.
