Secret Society of Second Born Royals

Film 103 (Goal: 300) of 2024 Secret Society of Second Born Royals is a standard Disney+ / straight-to-streaming fare. The idea of a group of teenagers with differences but a shared trait coming together under the guidance of someone is definitely not new. I think of Kingsman of a recent example, where this was done really well. With all this in mind, this isn't that bad for a simple watch. There are a myriad of issues with it. From the uneven dialogue, the bland villain, some questionable acting. Or perhaps that the small "European" nation looked very similar to New York City. But despite some clear problems, at a basic level, there was enough here to get me from scene to scene and keep me mild entertained. Will I ever watch this again? No, not a chance. But I was looking for an easy watch, without having to use my brain and this was it for tonight.

This maybe an okay watch for a pre-teen audience but it is totally devoid of any creativity, adventure, mystery, drama or depth. I kept waiting for it to get better. It never did. I give this film a 5 (meh) out of 10.
