If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
I wish i could go back in time so i didn't have to watch it. I got so mad because she chose the other John over John Smith. John Smith took a bullet to save her fathers life and she totally forgets about him and moves onto another man! I also didn't like how they completely changed her. She used to be inspiring and a role model but in the 2nd movie, she was neither. They dressed her up, stripping away her origin. The movie was also really boring. So i don't recommend watching it. Cons: Boring. She changes and is no longer inspiring. She chooses the other dude over John Smith Pros: None.
I first saw this film when I was about 12 or 13 when my dad rented it from his gym and while I found it an average film to begin with, it was also forgettable apart from the brief running gag of Meeko's seasickness. Fast forward several years later, I watched the Nostalgia Chick's 'Top 5 Least Awful Disney Sequels' where she placed this at no. 5 tied with 'The Lion King II: Simba's Pride' and the clips from this film refreshed my memory to a certain extent. More recently after having re-visited the lovely original, I decided to watch this on Amazon Instant Video and as I watched it, I was surprised at how I enjoyed it even more than I did first time around despite a couple of cons.Beginning with these cons, the animation quality is not as good as that in the first with the odd jerky movement and a Saturday morning cartoon look, particularly on the background characters, despite some effective uses of cel-shading, lighting and the principles of follow through and overlapping action and squash and stretch. The second con is that there are some historical inaccuracies with regard to Pocahontas visiting England (the original had similar inaccuracies too) but in spite of this the story on the whole is engaging, especially when Pocahontas is adjusting to British customs.Further to the positives, the incidental music is surprisingly good for a DTV sequel as it sounds cinematic and majestic in parts. While the songs here are not quite as good as the ones in the original, I really liked 'Where Do I Go From Here?,' 'What a Day in London' and 'Things Are Not What They Appear' as well as the gorgeous closing credits song. The characters who appeared in the original make a welcoming return, especially Pocahontas herself and Meeko, Flit and Percy (who are their usual cute and amusing selves here), but Nakoma and Grandmother Willow get considerably less screen time here than they did in the original, but this makes sense nonetheless. There are some worthwhile new characters such as John Rolfe, his supportive maid Mrs Jenkins albeit her somewhat repetitive dialogue about putting the tea on and Uti, who rarely speaks but is strong-willed nonetheless. The dialogue was decent but predictable in parts. Despite Donal Gibson replacing his brother for the voice of John Smith, he did his best to recreate the voice while Irene Bedard (speaking) and Judy Khun (singing) were more than welcome as Pocahontas; David Ogden Stiers was as menacing for John Ratcliffe; and Billy Zane and Jim Cummings were great as John Rolfe and King James respectively.Overall, the animation quality may be slightly lacklustre here but otherwise this film was far more enjoyable second time around with its story, inaccuracies aside, and music as its best pros. 8/10.
Pocahontas is my all time favorite Disney movie. Every time I watch It I cry and my heart is filled with happiness. The music is absolutely amazing, the story is spot on, beautiful animation, and John Smith and Pocahontas are perfect together. BUT I foolishly watched part 2 of Pocahontas and my heart broke. So basically John Smith dies and Pocahontas forgets him just like that. A guy from England, comes to the village and Pocahontas goes with him to meet the King. He's nothing like John Smith. They end up falling in love. But John Smith was never dead and reunites with Pocahontas only to get rejected as she rather be with the other man. In the first Pocahontas I can feel the love and romance from her and John Smith. This movie ruined it. I want to burn all copies. Fail Disney BIG fail.
Pocahontas II Journey To A New World is the 1998 sequel to the 1995 smash hit that is Pocahontas. The story is based on REAL EVENTS and tells the story of Pocahontas who travels to London with a new man by her side(No not that John Smith but ANOTHER John called John Rolfe)as the evil villain from the 1st movie Radcliffe strikes again. Of course Pocahontas thinks that John Smith is dead even though his not.But problems arise when Pocahontas falls for Rolfe and when she learns that Smith isn't dead she must choose which man she wants to have.OK my only problem with this movie are a few things.1. Why did they turn John Smith into an egotistical moron?2. Why did they turn Pocahontas into a cheater by going off with another man,YES I know its based on real events you can't blame Disney for that,I mean it would be the same if Tangled was based on a true story and Rapunzel would go off with one of the Stabbington Brothers OR if it was Belle from Beauty & The Beast she would go off with Gaston and leave Beast behind if it was vice versa,have the Beast as the bad guy,and Gaston as the good guy.3. Why didn't Pocahontas decide to leave her people NOW when in the first movie she wouldn't go off with Smith in the end.(Again based on real events as Pocahontas married John Rolfe in real life and became Rebecca Rolfe and they had children together).The animation was nice but its amazing how the animator that did Pocahontas in this movie was similar to Glen Keane's design. Its hilarious how they made her like the same as Keane's creationThe songs are nice but you can't beat If I Never Knew You or Colours Of The Wind.The voice acting is good but seriously the guy voicing John Smith I could have sworn it was Mel Gibson but NOPE they hired his brother Donal to do it instead,sure NO wonder he was a jerk in this kiss my butt sequel.But in saying this I can't help but watch it on VHS now and again as I thought some parts to it was good. But in my opinion the first one was better and the romance between Smith and Pocahontas was 100 times better than her and Rolfe,I dunno I just can't put my finger on it.5/10
