This movie made no sense

Warning: Spoilers
The evil guy (played by Gimli from LOTR) wants his nephew (Chris Pine) to be king... Well why did they say they want to take the crown and simply seduce her from the start. She would have said yes. He would be king. Everyone got what they wanted. The End. smh

Or the other thing they could have done is just abolished the marriage rule at the start. Why the guy in parliament changed is mind randomly, made no sense.

The one complaint Chris Pine had was that she never got to know the people. And he still has a point. After high school she went to college. And when she was back in Genovia she stayed in her palace all day or attended high class parties. The orphan kids at the parade was not enough and chicken scene she herself never really talked to the people. She never got out and really tried to understand her country. Why do you think the British Royals go out and visit people where they work, visit hospitals, etc etc.

The other thing was her clumsiness and everything just seemed so forced. In the 1st movie it felt so natural. The VHS version even had her fall on some bleacher stands because it was unscripted and Anne Hathaway fell. Charm can't be forced down ones throat.

The saving grace of this movie is Chris Pine which is odd for me because I don't usually like his type of character. The stereotypical bad boy, who is very smooth but has a heart of gold. But he plays the role well.

This movie is such a waste, I really loved the 1st movie. And what bothers me is that the movie seems to disrespect its audience (bringing up characters from the first movie like the friend who gets nothing to do, the mom, the hair dresser) just to play up on our nostalgia.

Also most random Stan Lee Cameo ever.
