With fans and ??? ?? ????critics flooding out of the first screenings of Frozen 2, their initial takes on the highly anticipated Disney sequel suggest a slightly grittier story that delves into Elsa's past but doesn't quite outshine its older sister.

The YMMV: Word is it's a little darker than the original, and there's some solid weepy energy too. Movie criers and big sisters be warned. Also, Weezer, apparently?
