"Dwayne Johnson, who voiced Maui in the animated movie, appears in the live-action trailer wearing a wig and body suit that doesn't quite match up to his skin, looking like a tired, aging superstar in a wig trying to sell me insurance in a pricey commercial."
"While Johnson obviously sounds like Maui from the animated flick, he doesn't have the same larger-than-life energy that the demigod has in that fantastic Disney movie."
"The wig in particular keeps sticking out each time I look at Maui in this trailer, making it hard not to notice how bad it looks when we see John Tui as Moana's father, rocking some wonderful and, as far as I can tell, naturally long hair."
"Moana is going to be released in theaters on July 10, go on to make a billion dollars, and give Disney more reason to keep shamelessly remaking its own animated movies."
Disney released the official trailer for the live-action remake of Moana, showcasing Dwayne Johnson as Maui. The trailer presents Maui in a wig and body suit that do not match his skin tone, leading to a less convincing portrayal. While Johnson is a talented actor, he does not capture the larger-than-life essence of the animated character. The trailer also highlights the contrast between Maui's appearance and Moana's father's natural hair. The film is set to release on July 10, with expectations of significant box office success.
