It was just TONS of references to the first movie. It was ridiculous how many times they referenced something from the original movie. They literally explained the ENTIRE plot of the first movie once in the middle of the movie and partially in the after credits scene!! I get why they did it, and they did it for laughs, but dear God, it was excruciating.
Every single character regressed from where we left them at the end of the first movie. From a story structure perspective they did the exact same story over again.
The Lopez's did the best they could writing music for a truly mediocre story, but most of the songs felt like they phoned them in. "Into the Unknown" is musically an amazing song, and a phenomenal performance by Idina, but it will not have the sticking power of "Let It Go." It didn't evoke an emotional response because it didn't make any sense in the story. Tons of lines in the song make you think some things are going to happen, and then they never happen. It was very confusing.
I was so excited to hear that Jonathan Groff would be singing something other than "Reindeer's are Better than People" (Which he sang again anyway because we have to reference the first movie ONCE MORE!) but his song "Lost in the Wood" was so bizarre and out of left-field story-wise it felt weird and uncomfortable.
Josh Gad's performance was delightful, especially considering they wrote Olaf as an immature, irritating, annoyance in this movie. But, his song, which is so unrememberable it's not even worth looking up the title of, was a snorefest.
The whole movie felt like they got a group of 11-year-old kids together and asked them what their favorite parts of "Frozen" were and then said, "As long as we include all of those things, we'll have a hit!"
