Ok I just hate how The Queen of Hearts was taking out all of her anger on Cinderella when it was the other sea witch girl who played the prank on her! We never got to see the moment she became a villain or the school dance because they rushed through it and gave us a happy ending that made zero sense. This had to be one of the worst endings to a DCOM
No cause I wonder if the Queen of Hearts became friends with the other villains after she turned evil... like would she have been friends with Uliana at that point? It's confusing.
So I guess they rushed it because the 5th movie will come out showing what consequences and trouble will happen. Which I guess makes sense or it would have been close to a 2-3 hour movie
One thing that really confused me is in the original story before chloe and red time travelled how could uliana and her gang open the book since they were evil red and chloe didnt need to interfere so im thinking that it was ella who did the prank but couldnt because she got grounded so it became uliana and her gang cause they didnt explain that
I think in the original timeline, Ella got grounded because of BRIDGET breaking the vase instead of Chloe, so Ella is mad at BRIDGET instead of Chloe and pulls the prank cause she's "good" and can ACTUALLY open the book!
My favorite songs from the movie were love ain’t it, life is sweeter, perfect revenge and get your hands dirty. I loved seeing the queen of hearts rapping in love ain’t it and I liked the slice of life that Ella gave Chloe in get your hands dirty and life is sweeter and perfect revenge are self explanatory
Yeah, when i was watching some clips from this movie the background characters more like zombies or other disney channel movie. And there was no disney character cameos unlike previous 3 descendants. And i don't understand why other merlin academy student background characters look nothing like other disney characters and merlin academy student looks very modern i think they should making mixing of historical with modern vibes.
My main issue with the film is that there were too many characters and they underutilized a lot of them. *cough* ESPECIALLY MEADOW. My favorite character was Red tho. I also think the songs were hit or miss, but I did like a lot of them. "Red" and "Shuffle of Love" are my top 2 favs. And the ending was awful... we better get a 5th movie cause it can't end like that. However, I did ENJOY the movie and I still recommend it to Descendants fans! It's a fun movie, but it just felt incomplete. I am so glad my girl Kylie Cantrall got to shine tho!
*NOT TRYING TO SHADE OR DISRESPECT THE CREATIVE TEAMS, JUST MY OPINON ON THE FILM AS A FAN OF THE ORIGINAL* I feel like the writing felt really simple. Some of the dialouge just felt overly simple. Also the retcons kinda annoyed me becaude it completly undermines the original films. 1. Auradon Prep was stated by Ben as an old castle, but Beast decided to turn it into a school for the new generation. So why would they change it and make it a existing school??? 2. I know the Queen of Hearts was against the unification of Auradon, but why did that matter if ALL the villans were sent to The Isle of the Lost? In one of the books it even mentions she has a salon. So why didn’t Red grow up on the isle? 3. The outfits. Chloe did not look like an Auradon kid at all. Besides the wig styling her Hair should have been a natural color like Audrey or Jane in D1 and i wish she looked more preppy/princess. Her look remindes me alot of Bens D3 isle look. And Cinderella should not have had blue hair either. She should have just had herbraids from the original movie. Also why was Cinderella in a Ball Gown the entire movie??? Belle never wore one until the formal event at the end of each movie. Same with FG. I wish they would of given her more of a buisness casual dress similar to Belle's look. Also i think Kenny Ortega not directing made a HUGE difference. I think theirs a visual differnce to the film that took me out of the movie. I do think the new director did a good job tho it just felt different to me. on a more postive note i did really like Red and Chloe, and the music particulary Red, Fight of Our Lives, and Get Your Hands Dirty. It was a good time, but overall it just didn’t feel the same as the orginal movies.
Chloe DOES look preppy! She is very feminine. Malia Baker(Chloe's actress even says so, preppy girls can wear pants too? 🤨). It's honest only because of the colors she's wearing you say she looks like Ben! But she wears makeup, and Ben doesn't OWN blue, Chloe's is a much lighter shade anyway, She also wears turquoise as well. The gold Chloe wears is obviously supposed to be a reference to her father, King Charming. 😂 I agree with you on the other stuff though.
I thought since they got Brandy and Rita Ora as singers. They should have got a duet or a reprise of a Bridget and Ella song Ella and Bridget should have got a duet , Rita Ora and Brandy should have got a duet !
No, because why didn't the two best friends get a song????? They could parallel their daughters, not really being friends tbh. And show how their dynamic was different in high school. Brandy and Rita Ora having a reprise of this song as adults would be so majestic!
I want to know what happened behind the scenes that caused the creators to basically cut the entire third act? There was obviously more planned for the climax , but instead the film just ends abruptly. It’s really weird
Yeah! I think there was definitely more to the story that wasn't included, and I was surprised that this was the end. But I've heard rumors that they're saving the other stuff for future movies?
My thoughts are almost the same as yours. About the songs? I love the specific three (Red, Perfect Revenge and Get your hands Dirty) The rest aren't bad in my opinion but they will be played like once in awhile for me. The characters? I love them all. Especially Bridget/Queen of Hearts for some reason (I literally have a headcanon that she is lesbian). I love the growing friendship between Red and Chloe and I hope the expand them more in the next film. Also ❤+ 💙 = 💜 👍 Yes the ending was a let down from me but I get what they were going for? It's supposed to feel like a part 1 of a two parter. Since it ended on Uma hinting that her going back in time to change the past is going to have serious consequences for the characters. But I think it should've been excuted better. But I do disagree with you about the implied decapitation of Cinderella. I actually liked that they went there because it meant so much more and held so much weight to me when Chloe sang with her Ella. And also I like that it's dark personally because c'mon are we gonna forget that Audrey literally died the last movie and was brought back to life?? I think it fits. But that's just me. Also I don't think it hurts the Queen's character because though it was told that she had a heart to her......she still and has been implied to kill her men and subjects if they step out of line. So just showing that made it even better and more impactful in my opinion. But yeah those are my thoughts. I love the movie. 7/10 I wish we had a better ending. And can't wait for the next one.
Yeah the movie wasn’t bad, but it could have been a lot better. I do feel like a lot was rushed. I do feel like they kept building us up on this prank but we never see it. They kept building us up on the CastleComing dance but we never see it. I’m hoping these plot holes get resolved in the next film(s) or other content. Because I was left confused too. And the lack of the big finale song and dance scene bothers me too. We get a few seconds of them singing to a remixed version of “Life is Sweeter” and that felt kind of incomplete, but after three views of it I chalked it up to this. This “happy ending” wasn’t very happy because it is an alternate universe where things aren’t what they seem and they will have to deal with the consequences of that in the next film. Regarding the music, I liked the music “Perfect Revenge” is probably my favorite one from the movie although I do wish we could have heard more of “Shuffle of Love” and “Bad Reputation” never even made the movie which makes me wonder why.
although kylie sounds great on bad reputation, i would’ve loved if they could’ve done another classic disney cover instead of a cover of bad reputation.
There's a theory going around that in the original timeline, Uliana convinced Ella to help play her the mean prank, but in the Pocketwatch timeline, the prank didn't end up happening because Chloe got Ella grounded. Therefore, she couldn't go to the dance.
Chloe did get on my nerves a bit. Like why are you debating stealing a book and calling red evil for it? Its not that big of a deal, just take the book😭
Why did adult Bridgett have a British accent and the teen version had a valley girl American accent? I know Rita Ora is British but it was just really dumb
honestly, i really liked 'perfect revenge', 'fight of our lives', and 'life is sweeter'. i liked the part where they introduced the villians, but i was looking forward to a separate song because there was so much to unpack! throughout the whole movie it was just a lot that was rushed but i still liked it, and i hope future descendants movies only go up from here! (also, tbh, i wanted to hear more of dara's/uliana's OUTSTANDING VOCALS!)
Aged down? She and Red are the same age? I think it makes sense that she's privileged. But odd that she's unaware of her mom's actual story or Cinderella's life before she became royalty?
I assume they sorted out the enchantment originally, but the shocking presence of 2 other people and all the chaos that was occurring made them overlook it.
3:31: Ella doesn't "hate" Chloe, she's put off by her naive, sheltered attitude. I do believe it's odd Chloe seems to not realize her mom wasn't always royalty, and actually married into the family. Like, does she not remember the story that made her mother famous????? Like Cinderella's story is well known!!!!! Chloe is nowhere near as bad as Chad but wow.....😅😅😅
i feel like it’s very long the way it is and could’ve been shorter + better. there are parts of the song that i like, but as a whole, it just doesn’t work for me
I was surprised with the ending and not in a good way. I expected something to go wrong when Red and Chloe return to the present, especially since Red gets an ominous warning about consequences of time traveler and changing time. I wanted to see the dance scene. Bridget seems to take out her anger for the prank on Ella, and we don't see why Bridget would feel that way. We should have got a scene that justifies her anger towards Ella. Like Ella not coming to Bridget's defense, dismissing what happened as not a big deal, trying to stop her from getting revenge for the prank played on her, or maybe even thinking Ella betrayed her.
Why Hades and Maleficent were on the film if they didn’t do anything significant, I don’t get . The same goes for Fairygodmother and Jasmine and Aladdin and Rapunzel’s daughter!
With the first minutes of the movie, I was amaze : the budget for special effects was higher than for the trilogy and the way it was filmed was more cinematic. (The moment when Uma is looking at Carlos portrait means A LOT. 😭) I'd really fully enjoyed the first hour of the movie... then the "climax" and the abrupt ending disappointed me! And I think I am not the only one who wanted to watch 15 extra minutes in the past. I imagined Uliana steals the Cookbook (Btw, how Uliana was able to trick Bridget in the first place if the Cookbook was protected by a spell?) so Red and Chloe have to warn Bridget at the festival but Uliana takes the appearance of Ella to give her the enchanted treat, then Bridget thought it was Cinderella's fault so Red and Chloe go back in the present with the proof and the right words to change the Queen of Heart's mind... The ending of the movie was "too easy"! Too bad also that we didn't see more of the Young versions of Disney characters at Merlin Academy. Hook and Morgie have a few lines. Hades at least has the sassy attitude while Maleficent, Jasmine and Aladdin were there just for 2-3 lines in a song. The worst part is Zellie which is just there in the background... for 5 shots?? And Chloe's wig which is changing at each scene! 😪 The songs didn't hit as much as the ones from previous movies. My top 3 is : 1. What's My Name (Absolute banger!), 2. Seeing Red (It grown on me with time), then I hesitated between "The Fight of Our Lifes" and "Get Your Hands Dirty" but finally "Get Your Hands Dirty" is very catchy and take the 3d place.
Awesome video descender I loved the movie but in my opinion I do wish we could got a ending song , I feel like this movie was so rush and I wish we could of saw what the prank uliyana was gonna pull on Bridget at the dance. But I feel like we'll see that in the next one. Also love how you brought up the pass dcom musicals and their ending songs and have you seen let it shine and the teen beach movies if so what do you think of them?
I personally feel like there should be a life is sweeter (pop version) by kylie & ruby (maybe featuring a group artist in my head)… I love the song, and not to be messy on main, but I have to be honest I feel like the second verse felt really too cheesy and ofc the transition didn’t stood out to me. So yeah I wish there should’ve been a pop version of life is sweeter by kylie and ruby.🩷🩷
@@exceptionaldescenderyes!!! and personally, I think ruby is the only person that vocally and presently shined in that song. It should’ve been a solo and/or a solo + featured well-known artist (or group)… if there were another version of life is sweeter ever released…
Chloe is the most intriguing character in this movie because the art that she goes on is so well written I think it's all ruined at the end when we see nothing happen to Cinderella maybe Cinderella still poor because of the time travel something
Fight of our lives, I see what you mean and agree, but the way it is preformed makes me want to listen to it again and again. I just ingore the lyrics 😅😅
It's the Queen of hearts turned into a good person. Who's the villain none? Because we all know if there's a good person. There's a villain, I'll just wish they had more information on the ending.😊😂 And my favorite part was the beginning was read and I like the friendship that read and Cinderella daughter have reminds me of mail and Evie.
I didnt had an issue with the beginning parts of the film and the time travel stuff but its the ending is what got to me like idk what went down in the writers room but they completely disregard of the the butterfly effect when it comes to time travel once you change one thing everything changes not just the positive to were i thought uliana (adult) was gonna show up personally apart from that i did like Red as a main character cause i personally didnt like Mal as much as i used to but thats just me lol But this film is a Decent film but its a Bad Set up for a part 2 even if this film is meant to be part 1 it dosent excuse the flaws of this film and im convinced Uliana somehow Forced ella to be on that prank (Sorry if this is alot to read but im very passionate about descendants lol)
i agree with a lot of what you said! i enjoyed the beginning and the middle of the movie a lot, but the ending totally seemed rushed. all of those characters deserved a proper ending - even if it had to end on a cliffhanger
My favorite songs were love ain’t it,red,and ofc course life is sweeter and perfect revenge but fight of our lives wasn’t bad either ngl and see when he said that I non of the songs that I liked except perfect revenge was good I had to stop watching cause whaaat???😭 but it’s fine bc the movie was good too so yk it evens out.
I would love to see a prequel of how does villains got bad they should the Isle of the Lost with bell and all the other villains and heroes also there was supposed to be a post credit scene said said by someone who watched the movie earlier and I believe them because in the review they got a lot of things right before the movie came out so she said there was a post credit scene and it was something about the ball Castle coming her name is Mama's geeky you know early screenings?
Maybe If They Had Ask Director Kenny Ortega To Direct It Again Knowing That A Portrait Of Cameron Boyce As Carlos De Vil Would Be Featured It Might Have Been Different But Maybe They Will Do Better For The Next Disney Descendants Movie You Never Know & Maybe There Will Be A Disney Descendants - The Rise Of Red Extended Version
To be honest, I prefer the original Descendants movies and really did not like the movie as much as the first three. For starters, I don't like how they rewritten the Disney history to have them all be in High school and was not a fan of the music, the only songs I liked was So this is Love and What's my Name (well the movie version at least). The soundtrack was so disappointing, especially since the trilogy songs were awesome and I always loved listening to the finale songs like You and Me and Break this Down and there's no finale song, but still I can't help but imagine how bad it would be. The only part of the movie I did enjoy was any moment Uma was in it, I only liked the beginning part with Uma and Fairy Godmother (even then I was not a fan of them possibly having Carlos die in the Descendants movies, even if the real world there are circumstances but it doesn't mean we have to lose an awesome character (But still the scene was sweet and wholesome either way)) and when Uma was singing What's My Name. They should have just made an Uma movie, give her an adventure or show her adventures between Descendants 2 and Escape from the Isle of the Lost/Under the Sea. But still it was awesome seeing Uma again, though she deserves way better than this movie. In all and all, I am disappointed by this movie, especially since Descendants is my favorite Disney channel movie trilogy and the only Disney Channel film series I enjoy. I would rather have it go a different direction, like an Uma movie or even if it was a book/comic series of Mal, Evie, Jay and Ben's adventures to the far off lands and them meeting our favorite Disney characters during their adventures. They could have even add Uma, Lonnie, Jane, Gil, Harry and Carlos to the mix, it a storyline that has a lot of potential. I just wish they saw that potential and disappointed by how this was supposed to be the grand return for the Descendants movies, but still it was awesome seeing these movies getting some kind of recognition again. Hopefully they rerelease the original dolls or they give Descendants a more prominent premise in the Disney Store and maybe the parks.
i definitely agree and see so much potential in this new cast. the script just needs work. on the songs. i feel like at the end of the day, most tracks sounded too similar to each other.
I don't say my favorite original movie descendants is rotten to the core evil like me Rotten to the core (Evie version) Descendants 2 ways to be wicked What's my name chillin like a villain Space between going down poor unfortunate soul Descendants 3 good to be bad The Queen of Mean you do what you gotta do Break this down Night Falls Rotten to the core (remix)
I'm glad this is part 1 hopefully in part 2 we see what happened at castlcoming. I also hope we see a young Bridget becoming the Queen of hearts just young
The Queen Of Hearts has zero humanity reading Beyond The Isle is a must, she hurts Red scolgically and pretty much desentizes her to people around her getting harmed right in front of Red's young eyes. So the queen would infact not care about killing Cindy and leaving Charming a widow and Chole motherless in the book the Queen is just okay taking kids away from their parents with no remorse, So Red making a messy coment about Chole is out of frustration and wanting to help but at the same time she seen something like this happend before and wants to stop it from traumatizing Chole like it did Red in Beyond The Isle.
I honestly loved the songs and the whole movie but I didn't like that it ended with the queen of hearts being nice so easily I feel like maybe there will be more of that in descendants the rise of red part 2
Cool! This is the BEST Descendans movie! It was EPIC and AMAZING! I really love it! And is my favorite Descendans movie! When the part 2 is coming from your new Descendans Legacy video? I really LOVE your Descendans 4 The Rise Of Red dolls unboxing videos,my favorite one are Uliana and Chloe Charming. Uliana and Chloe are my two favorite characters from Descendans 4 The Rise Of Red. I really LOVE Uliana,she is the BEST VILLAIN,she is BEAUTIFUL and really interesting,she is really powerful. You can defilitly make Uliana meet Audrey(daughter of Aurora), please ,because Audrey and Uliana are both MEAN GIRLS and VILLAINS! And then Audrey and Uliana can hate each other and star arguing and fighting,like Audrey VS Uliana. Is will be EPIC!
The movie was trash. It felt like it was just made to be made . I give it a 4 out of 10 .We needed more Uma . I love the tribute to Cameron best part of the film for me .
omg im not a make-up person nor a wig guru but Cloe's wig was really long with loose curls in musical shots or fight scenes one second but the next when she was talking it was like a good mid-length with tight curls made me sooo mad.
it was very inconsistent! i’m sure the wig/hair stylist for this film is very talented but i imagine they were probably rushed/overworked and weren’t able to be consistent with the hair
No, she doesn't? Red and Chloe altered time, so in that timeline, the Queen is a better person and never becomes evil to begin with. 😂😂 So, in this new timeline, the Queen was always kind.

Yes... true
I still don’t get why Bridget had an American accent , while Queen of Hearts had a British accent!
That bugged me the entire time! That and the fact that the Queen of Hearts didn’t keep her pink hair at the end!
How did red have an American accent??
I love the part when they honor Carlos was very wholesome love that scene the songs are so good and so catchy
I’ll never get over Ben & Mal ruling the kingdom when they were just teens and Ben’s parents are still very young and capable of leading the kingdom

Not really... girl
Yes absolutely I’m glad I wasn’t the only one
I think it sounded a little bit more like nothing but love or ain’t no doubt about it, but I do agree the songs were very Zombies-ish
@VTTVHarlequin descendants has its own style and so does zombies I think the songs just sound alike that doesn't mean it's technically a copy
The ending was rushed / cut short !
We lost 30 mins
My thoughts are almost the same as yours.
About the songs?
I love the specific three
(Red, Perfect Revenge and Get your hands Dirty)
The rest aren't bad in my opinion but they will be played like once in awhile for me.
The characters?
I love them all.
Especially Bridget/Queen of Hearts for some reason (I literally have a headcanon that she is lesbian).
I love the growing friendship between Red and Chloe and I hope the expand them more in the next film.
Also ❤+ 💙 = 💜
👍
Yes the ending was a let down from me but I get what they were going for?
It's supposed to feel like a part 1 of a two parter.
Since it ended on Uma hinting that her going back in time to change the past is going to have serious consequences for the characters.
But I think it should've been excuted better.
But I do disagree with you about the implied decapitation of Cinderella.
I actually liked that they went there because it meant so much more and held so much weight to me when Chloe sang with her Ella.
And also I like that it's dark personally because c'mon are we gonna forget that Audrey literally died the last movie and was brought back to life??
I think it fits.
But that's just me.
Also I don't think it hurts the Queen's character because though it was told that she had a heart to her......she still and has been implied to kill her men and subjects if they step out of line.
So just showing that made it even better and more impactful in my opinion.
But yeah those are my thoughts.
I love the movie. 7/10
I wish we had a better ending.
And can't wait for the next one.
Yeah the movie wasn’t bad, but it could have been a lot better. I do feel like a lot was rushed. I do feel like they kept building us up on this prank but we never see it. They kept building us up on the CastleComing dance but we never see it. I’m hoping these plot holes get resolved in the next film(s) or other content. Because I was left confused too.

even though shuffle of love is her song i hope she sings life is sweeter because i prefer that song and she lowkey carried it 😭
@@exceptionaldescender agree
Was there a stock photo for her like the Uliana with accessories?
3:31: Ella doesn't "hate" Chloe, she's put off by her naive, sheltered attitude. I do believe it's odd Chloe seems to not realize her mom wasn't always royalty, and actually married into the family. Like, does she not remember the story that made her mother famous????? Like Cinderella's story is well known!!!!! Chloe is nowhere near as bad as Chad but wow.....😅😅😅
13: 50 teasing castle coming and party outfits and this is love is such a crime
Love aint it could have been very good. I loved the first 45 seconds with red and Bridget, i wish it stayed a duet and no one else joined
i feel like it’s very long the way it is and could’ve been shorter + better. there are parts of the song that i like, but as a whole, it just doesn’t work for me
I agree about zellie. Why did they name her character if she only got a second of screen time.
Also! You're telling me NO ONE but Ella wanted to be friends with Bridget? Of the entire school? I feel like there would be at least a few people!
I was surprised with the ending and not in a good way. I expected something to go wrong when Red and Chloe return to the present, especially since Red gets an ominous warning about consequences of time traveler and changing time. I wanted to see the dance scene. Bridget seems to take out her anger for the prank on Ella, and we don't see why Bridget would feel that way. We should have got a scene that justifies her anger towards Ella. Like Ella not coming to Bridget's defense, dismissing what happened as not a big deal, trying to stop her from getting revenge for the prank played on her, or maybe even thinking Ella betrayed her.
Why Hades and Maleficent were on the film if they didn’t do anything significant, I don’t get .
The same goes for Fairygodmother and Jasmine and Aladdin and Rapunzel’s daughter!
With the first minutes of the movie, I was amaze : the budget for special effects was higher than for the trilogy and the way it was filmed was more cinematic. (The moment when Uma is looking at Carlos portrait means A LOT. 😭) I'd really fully enjoyed the first hour of the movie... then the "climax" and the abrupt ending disappointed me! And I think I am not the only one who wanted to watch 15 extra minutes in the past. I imagined Uliana steals the Cookbook (Btw, how Uliana was able to trick Bridget in the first place if the Cookbook was protected by a spell?) so Red and Chloe have to warn Bridget at the festival but Uliana takes the appearance of Ella to give her the enchanted treat, then Bridget thought it was Cinderella's fault so Red and Chloe go back in the present with the proof and the right words to change the Queen of Heart's mind... The ending of the movie was "too easy"!
Too bad also that we didn't see more of the Young versions of Disney characters at Merlin Academy. Hook and Morgie have a few lines. Hades at least has the sassy attitude while Maleficent, Jasmine and Aladdin were there just for 2-3 lines in a song. The worst part is Zellie which is just there in the background... for 5 shots?? And Chloe's wig which is changing at each scene! 😪
The songs didn't hit as much as the ones from previous movies. My top 3 is : 1. What's My Name (Absolute banger!), 2. Seeing Red (It grown on me with time), then I hesitated between "The Fight of Our Lifes" and "Get Your Hands Dirty" but finally "Get Your Hands Dirty" is very catchy and take the 3d place.
Why was Uliana Ursla’s baby sister instead of Ulsula herself ?
Ursula was a squid.
Because they would be saying that Uma is the same age as Chole and Red
Awesome video descender I loved the movie but in my opinion I do wish we could got a ending song , I feel like this movie was so rush and I wish we could of saw what the prank uliyana was gonna pull on Bridget at the dance. But I feel like we'll see that in the next one. Also love how you brought up the pass dcom musicals and their ending songs and have you seen let it shine and the teen beach movies if so what do you think of them?
i LOVE let it shine and i do not like the teen beach movies at all 💀
@@exceptionaldescender YESS I'm glad you do same here and I only like teen beach movie 1 I don't care for the second one at all
Didn’t have much hope for it leading up, and left feeling very disappointed. Very boring
I personally feel like there should be a life is sweeter (pop version) by kylie & ruby (maybe featuring a group artist in my head)… I love the song, and not to be messy on main, but I have to be honest I feel like the second verse felt really too cheesy and ofc the transition didn’t stood out to me. So yeah I wish there should’ve been a pop version of life is sweeter by kylie and ruby.🩷🩷
when i first saw the tracklist i was hoping the remix would’ve been a pop version but the actual remix was quite disappointing 😭
@@exceptionaldescenderyes!!! and personally, I think ruby is the only person that vocally and presently shined in that song. It should’ve been a solo and/or a solo + featured well-known artist (or group)… if there were another version of life is sweeter ever released…
Get ur hands dirty is my favourite song
Chloe is the most intriguing character in this movie because the art that she goes on is so well written I think it's all ruined at the end when we see nothing happen to Cinderella maybe Cinderella still poor because of the time travel something
My favorite song is love ain't and what's my song ❤❤❤
Fight of our lives, I see what you mean and agree, but the way it is preformed makes me want to listen to it again and again. I just ingore the lyrics 😅😅
It's the Queen of hearts turned into a good person. Who's the villain none? Because we all know if there's a good person. There's a villain, I'll just wish they had more information on the ending.😊😂 And my favorite part was the beginning was read and I like the friendship that read and Cinderella daughter have reminds me of mail and Evie.
I didnt had an issue with the beginning parts of the film and the time travel stuff but its the ending is what got to me like idk what went down in the writers room but they completely disregard of the the butterfly effect when it comes to time travel once you change one thing everything changes not just the positive to were i thought uliana (adult) was gonna show up personally apart from that i did like Red as a main character cause i personally didnt like Mal as much as i used to but thats just me lol
But this film is a Decent film but its a Bad Set up for a part 2 even if this film is meant to be part 1 it dosent excuse the flaws of this film and im convinced Uliana somehow Forced ella to be on that prank
(Sorry if this is alot to read but im very passionate about descendants lol)
i agree with a lot of what you said! i enjoyed the beginning and the middle of the movie a lot, but the ending totally seemed rushed. all of those characters deserved a proper ending - even if it had to end on a cliffhanger
@@exceptionaldescender agreed!
My favorite songs were love ain’t it,red,and ofc course life is sweeter and perfect revenge but fight of our lives wasn’t bad either ngl and see when he said that I non of the songs that I liked except perfect revenge was good I had to stop watching cause whaaat???😭 but it’s fine bc the movie was good too so yk it evens out.
i don’t think any of the songs are necessarily bad but i don’t think they’re as strong as the songs in the other descendants movies :)
I'm just happy we got a new movie for me It was so good I loved it so much but the end could be better
I would love to see a prequel of how does villains got bad they should the Isle of the Lost with bell and all the other villains and heroes also there was supposed to be a post credit scene said said by someone who watched the movie earlier and I believe them because in the review they got a lot of things right before the movie came out so she said there was a post credit scene and it was something about the ball Castle coming her name is Mama's geeky you know early screenings?
Most of the songs had rap and it was not good 😭
Its going down and night falls were fun with it's rap, they also didn't over do it
at least the magical knight didn’t “bust a move” in this movie 😍
@@exceptionaldescender 😭😂
Maybe If They Had Ask Director Kenny Ortega To Direct It Again Knowing That A Portrait Of Cameron Boyce As Carlos De Vil Would Be Featured It Might Have Been Different But Maybe They Will Do Better For The Next Disney Descendants Movie You Never Know & Maybe There Will Be A Disney Descendants - The Rise Of Red Extended Version
Get your hands dirty was my favorite
I appreciate the tribute to Carlos
Fight of our lives is my favorite song from the movie
also kenny ortega direct/ written the frist 3 films of Descendeants for rise of red is a new Director and writer
Perfect revenge is gonna be my energy for this week as im moving schools this week.
They could’ve been a tv show. Cause girl why is wicked world more entertaining😂 very disappointed
No because Wicked World was SO good!
To be honest, I prefer the original Descendants movies and really did not like the movie as much as the first three. For starters, I don't like how they rewritten the Disney history to have them all be in High school and was not a fan of the music, the only songs I liked was So this is Love and What's my Name (well the movie version at least). The soundtrack was so disappointing, especially since the trilogy songs were awesome and I always loved listening to the finale songs like You and Me and Break this Down and there's no finale song, but still I can't help but imagine how bad it would be.
The only part of the movie I did enjoy was any moment Uma was in it, I only liked the beginning part with Uma and Fairy Godmother (even then I was not a fan of them possibly having Carlos die in the Descendants movies, even if the real world there are circumstances but it doesn't mean we have to lose an awesome character (But still the scene was sweet and wholesome either way)) and when Uma was singing What's My Name. They should have just made an Uma movie, give her an adventure or show her adventures between Descendants 2 and Escape from the Isle of the Lost/Under the Sea. But still it was awesome seeing Uma again, though she deserves way better than this movie.
In all and all, I am disappointed by this movie, especially since Descendants is my favorite Disney channel movie trilogy and the only Disney Channel film series I enjoy. I would rather have it go a different direction, like an Uma movie or even if it was a book/comic series of Mal, Evie, Jay and Ben's adventures to the far off lands and them meeting our favorite Disney characters during their adventures. They could have even add Uma, Lonnie, Jane, Gil, Harry and Carlos to the mix, it a storyline that has a lot of potential. I just wish they saw that potential and disappointed by how this was supposed to be the grand return for the Descendants movies, but still it was awesome seeing these movies getting some kind of recognition again. Hopefully they rerelease the original dolls or they give Descendants a more prominent premise in the Disney Store and maybe the parks.
I agree 100% with you in the characters I want to see more of them.
I hated queen of hearts final dress
i think it’s pretty! but it also feels like a kinda rushed design. i think it could’ve been a little more extravagant + pink
@@exceptionaldescender agreed I wish it was pink hahaha
WAIT so am i the only one who thought Hook and Morgie were🌈🌈🌈 ??
I was hoping they were, but it was so rushed😔
@@ledarriusware6655 I mean we barely saw them but it would make sense
@@liltmarshall8717 true😅
👀 💅🏼
That’s my headcanon lol
I hate red name tbh she dose not follwo the golden role of descendants names she dose not have an H in her name
i definitely agree and see so much potential in this new cast. the script just needs work.
on the songs. i feel like at the end of the day, most tracks sounded too similar to each other.
I don't say my favorite original movie descendants is rotten to the core evil like me
Rotten to the core (Evie version)
Descendants 2 ways to be wicked
What's my name
chillin like a villain
Space between
going down
poor unfortunate soul
Descendants 3
good to be bad
The Queen of Mean
you do what you gotta do
Break this down
Night Falls
Rotten to the core (remix)
Poor unfortunate souls ain't descendants
13:10 same i guess the remix was it? But kind of underwhelming
I'm glad this is part 1 hopefully in part 2 we see what happened at castlcoming. I also hope we see a young Bridget becoming the Queen of hearts just young
The Queen Of Hearts has zero humanity reading Beyond The Isle is a must, she hurts Red scolgically and pretty much desentizes her to people around her getting harmed right in front of Red's young eyes. So the queen would infact not care about killing Cindy and leaving Charming a widow and Chole motherless in the book the Queen is just okay taking kids away from their parents with no remorse, So Red making a messy coment about Chole is out of frustration and wanting to help but at the same time she seen something like this happend before and wants to stop it from traumatizing Chole like it did Red in Beyond The Isle.
I honestly loved the songs and the whole movie but I didn't like that it ended with the queen of hearts being nice so easily I feel like maybe there will be more of that in descendants the rise of red part 2
I agree with everything you say in this review that's all I'm going to say
Cool!
This is the BEST Descendans movie!
It was EPIC and AMAZING!
I really love it!
And is my favorite Descendans movie!
When the part 2 is coming from your new Descendans Legacy video?
I really LOVE your Descendans 4 The Rise Of Red dolls unboxing videos,my favorite one are Uliana and Chloe Charming.
Uliana and Chloe are my two favorite characters from Descendans 4 The Rise Of Red.
I really LOVE Uliana,she is the BEST VILLAIN,she is BEAUTIFUL and really interesting,she is really powerful.
You can defilitly make Uliana meet Audrey(daughter of Aurora), please ,because Audrey and Uliana are both MEAN GIRLS and VILLAINS!
And then Audrey and Uliana can hate each other and star arguing and fighting,like Audrey VS Uliana.
Is will be EPIC!
The movie was trash. It felt like it was just made to be made . I give it a 4 out of 10 .We needed more Uma . I love the tribute to Cameron best part of the film for me .
You Never Know!!!!!
omg im not a make-up person nor a wig guru but Cloe's wig was really long with loose curls in musical shots or fight scenes one second but the next when she was talking it was like a good mid-length with tight curls made me sooo mad.
it was very inconsistent! i’m sure the wig/hair stylist for this film is very talented but i imagine they were probably rushed/overworked and weren’t able to be consistent with the hair
I a thousand percent agree with you
I enjoyed the movie i though it was a good movie
Morgie barely did anything in my opinion!
Just not a big fan of it, since the queen of hearts turns into a goody goody two shoes by the end of the movie which I’m not a big fan of girl
No, she doesn't? Red and Chloe altered time, so in that timeline, the Queen is a better person and never becomes evil to begin with. 😂😂 So, in this new timeline, the Queen was always kind.
