Can I say right off the bat, no, Frozen isn't perfect. It's got plotholes, yessirree. Things you just don't understand with the plot. Like, why didn't the frost troll tell Elsa's parents that love was a simple counter to Elsa's magic instead of going along with their well-intentioned but admittedly hasty plan? Or what did Elsa eat in her castle? Those are just two of a few plotholes I've seen.
But honestly, I love the movie so much that I can either easily ignore the plotholes, or apply some reason to them, the way that I ignore Jurassic Park's flaws because I adore what they do right. This movie's setup isn't as good as, say, that of Tangled, but it's still pretty good.
I love the songs for being amazingly catchy. Yeah, they're all over the place, I can't fault people for getting a little sick of them for that reason. Personally I just made sure to avoid them unless I actually wanted to listen to them, and I enjoy them just as much as I always did.
I love the characters. They're likable, reasonably developed for an hour and a half, and a strange reason I like them is because they're not perfect. When they make a hasty decision, it'll usually come back to bite them in the ass and they'll try to make up for it. You really get the feeling Anna did her best to protect Elsa from her own mistakes, and I personally felt that if Elsa wasn't in such emotional turmoil she'd have helped Anna out more after a certain event at the end of the second act. Kristoff and Sven are also pretty likable, for that matter. I'm not a huge fan of Olaf, I did feel his humor was based too much on falling apart, but he never annoyed me.
The first plot twist of the third act is divisive for some, and I fully understand why, but I really liked it. Avoiding spoilers, it didn't feel forced to me. I also loved the second twist soon after.
Overall, I absolutely love this movie. It's actually become my favorite, to be honest. I personally feel it earns almost (so close) every shred of the praise it gets.
My end rating of the film is a solid 9.5/10. But as for you, if you haven't seen it yet: set a, say, 7 or 8 out of 10 expectation when you go to see it.
The epitome of So Cool, It's Awesome
