Moana review – Dwayne Johnson’s demigod on autopilot in dull live-action remake

Dwayne Johnson’s return as the demigod Maui in Disney’s live-action remake of "Moana" lacks the spark that made the original animated film a hit. Despite Johnson’s rapport with co-star Catherine Laga’aia, the remake feels more like a dutiful update than a fresh take. Critics find it dull and uninspired, raising questions about the necessity of remakes when the originals were so well-loved. This remake might disappoint fans who hoped for a more engaging and innovative retelling of the beloved story.
