Just perfect...

Disapointment

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Tangled is a cute, cute movie. The animation is brilliant, the characters are fun and the story is entertaining. I could easily see this being performed on Broadway. Where The Princess and the Frog missed, this one hit. Welcome back, classic Disney!

2010 could have been a brilliant year for animation, as "Toy Story 3", "Despicable Me" and "How to Train Your Dragon" were all released that year. However, the year also saw "Tangled". I don't want to come across as a troll, but Tangled just doesn't ever hit the right chords, making this, in my personal opinion, the worst movie ever.No. 1 is the plot. There are several plot holes that are never resolved. For example, why didn't the King and Queen ever have another child? Did they even try? They were staking the line to the throne on someone finding Rapunzel - which someone obviously did, but what if nobody did? And why did Mother Gothel not give Rapunzel a different birthday, one that didn't coincide with the lantern ceremony? If Gothel had given Rapunzel a different birthday, the lantern ceremony may have held next-to-no significance to Rapunzel, and she wouldn't had been yearning to attend it, which was a major plot-kicker.The music is not something I'd want to remember. Frozen's soundtrack had that special something - it was catchy, and empowering. Tangled's soundtrack is none of those. It is as bland as a plain white wall. The voice-acting is decent, but I have never liked Mandy Moore, so I can't say the voice-acting is superb. The comedy was hit-and-miss - every joke, it seemed, was used in the publicity material.And why is it called "Tangled"? Did Disney believe only girls would see a film called "Rapunzel"?All in all, the film was very poor. The only smattering of consolation on this film is the voice-acting, but I think they could have really improved in that regard. It's just as well that "Wreck- It Ralph", "Frozen" and "Zootropolis" had restored my faith in Disney.

This movie is simply the greatest version of Rapunzel that has ever been told. As a kid, this was always one of my least favorite stories. It was definitely lacking structure and depth, but Disney imbued their magic into its pages and made it a dazzling work of art.Rapunzel is a fabulous very first CGI princess and Mandy Moore was an amazing choice, both for her delightfully sweet speaking/singing voice and her general whimsicality. Mandy Moore has now ascended to stardom as one of the legendary Disney Princesses.From start to finish, it is a feast for the eyes and envelops you completely in the magical story. Rapunzel is the very first Disney princess to possess any kind of magic!!! Yes, magic has been clearly present in every other princess movie, but think about it...none of the princesses ever wielded any form of magic themselves until now. So that makes this movie groundbreaking just for that alone.In the original, the male love interest was the prince, so I am glad they jazzed this version up and made him a lovable thief instead. Flynn is an amazing character and he and Rapunzel have one of the greatest meet cutes of all time. It is very Shakespearean that the audience knows that Gothel is NOT Rapunzel's mother and that she does NOT possess this knowledge as we do. We also know that she is the lost princess and that Gothel is stalking her with the Stabbington brothers who are stalking Flynn for revenge. Very poetic and well done.Every single song was gold. They were catchy and whimsical and the lyrics were apt and beautiful. The animal companions which are usually my least favorite part of every Disney movie were actually terrific in this film. It makes sense that Rapunzel would have flocked to some sort of creature in her lonely tower so Pascal's presence is believable and not just crowbarred in like many others. The horse Maximus is absolutely hilarious and actually serves the plot tremendously.The redeemable villains were very well done, particularly Flynn's. His backstory as Eugene Fitzherbert is extremely touching as well as his transformation from common thief to Rapunzel's lover.What is refreshingly different about Flynn and Rapunzel's romance is that they did not have a typical love at first sight reaction like most Disney couples do. True, they were definitely both attracted to each other right away, but love blossomed between them as their epic journey commenced. To me, this makes it all the more meaningful.The ending was unexpectedly dark and I wish Disney dared to go down paths like this more often. There is always that classic moment in every Disney movie were you are legitimately terrified that the character in peril is really going to die (Whereas in Lion King, they actually DO)It is so beautiful that Rapunzel was actually going to sacrifice the rest of her life to being Gothel's fountain of youth, just to save the man she loved. And Flynn reciprocated this beauty by not allowing her to snuff out her light to restore his. When he says "But if you do this, you will die." He surely meant that if she goes through with being Gothel's slave for all eternity, she will cease to be the wonderful soul that she is now. Such torturous treatment would drain her and cause the light in her eyes to wither and die, even if she persisted to live because of the magical flower. So that is why Flynn frees her from her curse and chops of all her precious hair, even though that means sacrificing himself. People argue that he could have let her heal him and THEN chopped off her hair, but he refused to use her for her power just like Gothel and the rest of the world would have wanted to. The rhyme that activates the flower is beautiful and when Rapunzel cries onto Flynn's face, I personally believe that this is the very last of her healing powers leaking out of her now that the power of the golden flower has been severed. Their kiss is beautiful, I absolutely love how Rapunzel seizes the lapels of his shirt and yanks him toward her. The look of delighted surprise on his face when she does this is so adorable. I really love how powerful and forceful Disney princesses have become. And then later on in the end, she dips him instead of him dipping her. I love it! Gothel's demise is poetically and brilliantly executed and it goes to show how sweet Rapunzel is that she still reaches out helplessly toward the despicable woman she loved and knew to be her mother.My absolute favorite part of the whole movie is when Rapunzel's parents see her again and the mother just knows it is her by looking in her eyes and touching her face. I thought it was really beautiful and interesting that they chose to not have the parents speak at all, they displayed all of their emotions through facial expressions and gestures. My favorite moment is when Rapunzel and her parents drop to the floor in their ecstatic embrace and the queen reaches out her hand to Eugene. He goes to bow to her but she seizes his hand and pulls him into their embrace and thus welcomes him without question into their family because he is the man who returned Rapunzel to them and who loves their daughter. So beautiful! I really stand by that this is one of the greatest movies ever made. It has something for everyone. Love, adventure, betrayal, humor, heart-warming songs. This is definitely one of the funniest Disney movies of all time. The humor between them is very carefully scripted and honestly I think better suits an older crowd. But kids can still appreciate the slapstick with the frying pan haha.LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!!!

This is definitely one of my favorite movies. It has everything-- a strong and dangerous villain, songs, romance, spirit, humor....Not all of the songs are that memorable, but there's a duet called, "I See the Light," and it is beautiful. A song the villain, called Mother Gothel, sings gives me goosebumps. The woman who voiced her, Donna Murphy, has an incredible strong, powerful, and beautiful voice. Specifically the reprise of "Mother Knows Best," it is one of the best villain songs of all time.There is a load of humor, but some jokes, as another reviewer has said, only adults will get. This was targeted toward kids, but not as much as Frozen or Moana. Tangled isn't dark itself, but it is dark compared to other Disney movies. There are two side villains, the risk of hanging, stabbing, blood, prison....So if you're tired of watching Frozen with your kids or need a bit more excitement, then watch this.One thing I love so much about this is that it is one of Disney's few exhibits of true love. (SPOILER AHEAD) In detail, Rapunzel's love, Eugene, is stabbed, and she can heal him with her magical hair. She sacrifices her freedom for him, saying she will do what the villain wants if the villain will let her heal Eugene. Instead of letting her heal him, though, Eugene cuts her hair, making it die and turn brown, unable to heal him. He seriously sacrificed his life for her! The characters are excellent and well-built. There wasn't a very good backstory for the bandit Flynn Rider (who's real name is Eugene Fitzherbert--that makes me laugh each time) and no explanations for why Mother Gothel wants to stay young, but they all have strong personalities. Out of the the five three-dimensional Disney Princesses we have so far (Merida, Rapunzel, Anna, Elsa, Moana), I'd say Rapunzel is the best, and it's not because she comes from my favorite Disney movie. She is a go-getter and has hobbies. She is determined and isn't real rude to her "mom" throughout the movie like Merida was, but actually shows a spark of an attitude at one point. Her singing is good, and her face isn't perfectly angular like Aurora's, but a bit round, which is surprising. She is brilliant and realizes something rather important near the climax, using logic. When she finds out Mother Gothel is the villain, she is brave and bold to her. Rapunzel has a fierceness and strength in her, and it's not attitude like Merida had, nor the kind Elsa has. She is a great character and role model for girls. I prefer this over Frozen. Not that I don't like Frozen. It is one of my top ten favorite movies. I just prefer Tangled more. It's the sort of movie I watch one day and want to watch the next. It has me shivering, my eyes watering, and I'm wrapped up in it, not thinking about the fact I'm watching a movie or wondering who voiced that character. It's a great, memorable movie for people of all ages. Even a 13-year-old boy and 50-year-old woman were laughing and grinning. Make sure to watch it with your family and as often as you want. It's one of Disney's most creative movies (the only similarities to the original are bad woman, long hair, tower, and tear). It's one of my favorite movies, and I can see it will be that way for many, many more years.
