>>111586152While summarizing it that way actually makes the plot sound decent, the actual events messed up hard.
>gang befriend all 4 of the elementalsElsa beats the shit out of 2 and befriends one by cornering it. The rest of the gang had no play in just about the entire movie. If the gang managed to befriend each, then it would be somewhat better, or at least have Anna pull her share of the work.
>elsa being the bridge was foreshadowedMore like most "surprises" were predictable as fuck. Elsa being a special snowflake, her mother being the person who rescued her father when they were kids, the grandpa king being an asshole. The best surprise was how Anna is also considered the fifth spirit from doing minimal work.
Then there's the entire Elsa dying for some inexplicable reason and reviving for said reason. She then manages to stop the dam water from flooding the city within a few seconds after reviving. She then fucks off and also proceeds to dump her queen status on Anna and everyone is somehow fine with that. Not to mention the dropped subplots with Kristoff feeling abandoned and Olaf developing more emotions.
