| 183872 | Nate Adams | The Only Critic | Rotten | C | 2026-07-10T14:30:56.000Z | 2026-07-10 14:30:56 | It’s difficult to recapture the magic of the animated film when nearly every frame is buried beneath lifeless CGI. |
| 183867 | Stephen Silver | Splice Today | Rotten | — | 2026-07-10T14:11:01.000Z | 2026-07-10 14:11:01 | A redo that doesn’t work, though not in a way that’s different from the many misfired Disney live-action remakes of the past. |
| 183868 | Sean Collier | Table Magazine | Rotten | 5/10 | 2026-07-10T14:02:35.000Z | 2026-07-10 14:02:35 | Moana, like several of its predecessors, serves as an unwitting endorsement for the power of animation. |
| 183864 | Jackson Weaver | CBC News | Rotten | 2/5 | 2026-07-10T13:27:22.000Z | 2026-07-10 13:27:22 | [Moana is] an objectively pointless rehash of beautiful source material that Disney seems desperate to strip-mine until even its memory is nothing more than the skeletal remains of something once alive. |
| 183858 | Deniz Arslan | Battle Royale With Cheese | Rotten | 2/10 | 2026-07-10T11:06:35.000Z | 2026-07-10 11:06:35 | Disney’s live-action Moana isn’t bad because the original was great. It’s bad because it has no reason to exist. |
| 183859 | Josh Bell | Tom's Guide | Rotten | 2/5 | 2026-07-10T08:04:56.000Z | 2026-07-10 08:04:56 | The story remains solid, and the songs are still excellent, but the new movie is little more than an inferior re-enactment. |
| 183846 | Dionar Hidalgo | Algo Más Que Cine | Rotten | 3/10 | 2026-07-10T04:05:13.000Z | 2026-07-10 04:05:13 | This live-action Moana is a soulless cash-grab repeating the 2016 script beat-for-beat while stripping its charm. Johnson's Maui loses his cartoonish edge, that wig is distracting, and Kail's flat direction kills the magic. Skip it. |
| 183845 | Linda and Al Lerner | Movies and Shakers | Rotten | — | 2026-07-10T03:56:58.000Z | 2026-07-10 03:56:58 | Moana does honor to the beauty, culture, and people of the islands in the South Pacific. Ironically, this cg heavy re-creation seems more like a cartoon. Less heartwarming, Disney hasn’t found the secret to bringing its animated classic back to life. |
| 183843 | Russ Simmons | KKFI-FM (Kansas City) | Rotten | 2/5 | 2026-07-10T03:06:36.000Z | 2026-07-10 03:06:36 | What worked as a cartoon just seems too labored in ‘live action.’ "Moana" fans, stick with the original. |
| 183838 | Frank Swietek | One Guy's Opinion | Rotten | C | 2026-07-10T01:49:13.000Z | 2026-07-10 01:49:13 | Follows the earlier film slavishly but is inferior to it in virtually every respect. Still, it’s better than the worst of these Disney remakes, though far from the best. |
| 183836 | Patrick McDonald | HollywoodChicago.com | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2026-07-10T00:34:34.000Z | 2026-07-10 00:34:34 | Entertaining enough, but one glaring point of live action vs. animation is that when there are dead spots in the story it's deader live. Lead actor Catherine Laga’aia is radiant as the courageous Moana in redundant territory. |
| 183837 | Christopher Lloyd | The Film Yap | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2026-07-10T00:12:29.000Z | 2026-07-10 00:12:29 | It's colorful, it's vibrant, the songs are still terrific and Dwayne Johnson is a hoot as the fabulously coiffured demigod. Is it in any way necessary? Of course not. |
| 183832 | Robert Kojder | Flickering Myth | Rotten | 2/5 | 2026-07-09T23:13:41.000Z | 2026-07-09 23:13:41 | "It sucks" – Dwayne Johnson reprising his role as Polynesian demigod Maui, saying what’s on our minds watching this lazy live-action remake of Moana |
| 183829 | Kathia Woods | Cup of Soul | Rotten | 5/10 | 2026-07-09T23:01:10.000Z | 2026-07-09 23:01:10 | Nowhere is the strain more visible than in the costuming. What read as bold and iconic in animation translates awkwardly to flesh and blood. |
| 183825 | Amy Nicholson | Los Angeles Times | Fresh | — | 2026-07-09T21:48:21.000Z | 2026-07-09 21:48:21 | Johnson’s carapace is detailed with skin-like textures, swollen bicep veins and living tattoos that offer him encouragement and advice. The uncanny valley is right between his pecs. I got distracted trying to find his nipples. |
| 183823 | Fico Cangiano | CineXpress | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2026-07-09T21:18:12.000Z | 2026-07-09 21:18:12 | The "way to soon" argument (10 Years) is accentuated even more when all you do is basically just a shot-for-shot, line-for-line copy/paste of the superior original animated film. {Full review in Spanish] |
| 183821 | Aparita Bhandari | Globe and Mail | Rotten | — | 2026-07-09T20:35:34.000Z | 2026-07-09 20:35:34 | While the animated feature sought to enchant audiences with its rendering of Polynesian mythology with breathtaking creativity, the live-action version almost flattens out those imaginative renderings. |
| 183817 | Gregory Nussen | Deadline Hollywood Daily | Rotten | — | 2026-07-09T20:19:41.000Z | 2026-07-09 20:19:41 | The earnestness of this story just doesn’t work as well when everything is done in such blatantly artificial ways and for obvious pursuit of profit. |
| 183811 | Nikki Gemmell | The Australian | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2026-07-09T19:34:26.000Z | 2026-07-09 19:34:26 | The beautifully animated Moana sparkled yet this version doesn’t, despite closely following the original script. |
| 183812 | Sandra Hall | Sydney Morning Herald | Rotten | 2/5 | 2026-07-09T19:31:37.000Z | 2026-07-09 19:31:37 | The power of the ocean, in this scenario, stands in for the power of the Walt Disney Company: this is a film where everything appears to happen automatically, in accordance with Disney formula. |
