Dwayne Johnson's return as the demigod Maui in the forthcoming live-action adaptation of Disney's Moana is reportedly facing critical scrutiny. A review of the film suggests the character, and by extension Johnson's performance is operating on autopilot.

The assessment describes the live-action remake as dull, indicating that the portrayal of Maui may not live up to the vibrant energy fans expect. This critical take could signal a less dynamic or engaging interpretation of the beloved Polynesian demigod.

Fans of the original animated film and Johnson's previous work will likely be watching closely for further details regarding the film's reception and the nature of Johnson's performance. The review implies a significant departure from what made the character popular.
