When I first saw the preview to Tangled, I have to say, it did not look like the greatest movie ever made. There was only one scene that I had laughed at. It had to do with a smolder. It was pretty funny. The rest of the preview was not very funny. I decided that I would probably see it at that moment.
But when I saw a second preview for the movie, I thought it looked dreadfully bad. It didn't look funny at all. I decided at that moment not to see it. But when it came out, I saw that it had gotten really good reviews. In the Toronto Star, it got a three out of four. In the Globe and Mail, it got four out of four. So, I decided to go see the movie because it was apparently so good. I have to say, it was really good.
Tangled tells the story of Rapunzel. See, before Rapunzel is born, the mom is very sick and these guards decide to find some object that will heal her. Meanwhile, there is an old lady (voiced by Donna Murphy) who finds a flower that has a bit of the sun in it and makes herself young. She decides to use that flower for herself to stay young. Yet, the guards find the flower, give it to the queen and she has a beautiful baby girl named Rapunzel. They have a great celebration where they send lanterns off into the sky.
However, that night, the old lady who is young again steals Rapunzel to keep her young, for Rapunzel had hair that could make the old lady young.
So, 18 years later, Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore) is living in a castle with the old lady, and Rapunzel is wishing to leave, even if she loves the old lady very much.
There is another story in this movie. It follows a bandit (Zachary Levi) named Flynn Rider. He has stolen a crown, abandoned his fellow robbers and is now hiding out in the castle that Rapunzel is living in. Rapunzel knocks him out with a frying pan, ties him up with her hair and tells him to take her out of the castle. Flynn does this because if he takes her away, he will get his crown and the crown has been hidden from him. So, he takes Rapunzel and her pet chameleon away from the castle.
Now, this may sound like a predictable movie, but don't worry. It may be predictable, but that does not mean it isn't entertaining. It is entertaining.
It has exciting action scenes, interesting plot and good writing. Also, the supporting characters like a group of people who hang out at a bar and a horse are funny.
The music is not something that I would put on my iPod, I will tell you that. Also, it is not as good as other Disney movies like The Incredibles and Toy Story 3, but it still is a lot of fun.
Guys who are not like me will probably not like this movie as much because of the musical numbers and the romance, but girls will probably enjoy it. Guys who are like me will probably like this because: 1. It has action. 2. It's entertaining and 3. It is funny.
