Monster High 2 is a live-action musical fantasy film that follows the adventures of Clawdeen Wolf, Draculaura and Frankie Stein, three teenage monsters who attend Monster High, a school for the supernatural. In this sequel, they face new challenges as they enter sophomore year, such as new students, new powers, evolving friendships, and an even bigger threat that could change the world forever. The film is based on the popular toy line by Mattel and is directed by Todd Holland.
The film has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. Some praised the film for its catchy songs, diverse cast, and positive messages about acceptance and inclusion. Others criticized the film for its clichéd plot, cheesy dialogue, and lack of originality. The film currently has a 5.6/10 rating on IMDb² and an 83% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
My personal opinion is that Monster High 2 is a fun and entertaining film for fans of the franchise and young viewers who enjoy musicals and fantasy. The film has some flaws, such as a predictable story and some weak characters, but it also has some strengths, such as a lively soundtrack and some humorous moments. The film also tackles some relevant issues, such as prejudice, identity, and friendship, in a way that is accessible and engaging for its target audience. I would recommend Monster High 2 to anyone who likes Monster High or similar films, such as High School Musical or Descendants. I would give the film a 7/10 rating.
