Sociedad Secreta de Hijos Reales

This was not fantastic but there are a few points that are important to point out:

1) It does say it's for ages 8+. A demanding 35+ year old person will definitely find this schmaltzy.

2) It focuses on being 'positive'. I'm not sure why you people are so upset about the movie. They're fine.

3) They don't explain much and the characters go along with things pretty easily. I'd say they don't bother to explain because they'd rather focus on the kids bonding.

I mean, what do people expect? The box alone suggests exactly what you're getting. If you don't want painfully sweet positivity and predictability, you should've stuck to something else.

The best way to introduce kids to the superhero films in live action is definitely this. They can atcha this and how the genre works before going into things like the MCU films and others.

It's an amazing movie, if you can turn your brain off for a couple of hours and forget logic.

The movie is ostensible set in a small kingdom between Germany and Denmark. This will no doubt surprise anybody from either of these countries, as will the fact that said small kingdom looks suspiciously like Vancouver, or perhaps Toronto, and everybody looks and speaks like they just fell out of an American high school movie.

Note to Disney: No place in Europe looks like this.

Leaving the setting aside, it asks us to root for a bunch of second rate royals who discover they have super powers. Like they don't already have enough privilege in life. This takes a lot of imagination to stomach.

Luckily the movie is squarely aimed at 9 year old girls, and it largely succeeds in providing entertainment to that audience. But steer well clear if you're after anything you might enjoy as an adult.

I realise that I am not the target audience and with that in mind my review is a mediocre film that may appeal to a very young audience as in not older than 12 as teenagers would like myself be more discerning as to story plot and see plot holes and question them as much as any adult. A perfect example being when Sam breaks into the palace to show January and while in there Sams bff Mike walks in and he accuses Sam of replacing him in their band ( how did he just walk in? When even Sam had to use a secret code to get through the gates!)

Anyway as I said if target under 12 the plot acting etc would not be as important as they will focus on special effects for entertainment unlike older ages who would demand more of which this movie does not deliver Zero story
