My Daily Roti Movie Reviews - Tangled (2010)

This is a really really belated review. I'm so "tangled" up with work and gym lately, I spend more time outside home than back home. I was also supposed to blog about my visit to KLIMS, but it was totally boring so to hell with it. Back to the movie review, I'm not even sure if the movie is still screening at local cinemas. Anyways, I watched(was forced to..) the movie Tangled like 2 weeks ago with my pals. I'll admit I'm not the biggest fan of animated movies and more so kiddy films. If I were to choose what movie to watch on that particular day two weeks ago, I would've completely missed Tangled.

    Well, things didn't turn out my way that day and I went for Tangled. Basically, it's a slightly modified version or the original Rapunzel story. I'm sure everyone knows Rapunzel. Yes, Rapunzel, the girl with long hair?? Um...the hair that the witch uses to climb up to her tower?? If you still have no idea what or who I'm talking about, I suggest you go buy a Ladybird story book with the title "Rapunzel".

    Anyway, it seems that through my research, this movie is the most expensive animated film ever made and the SECOND MOST EXPENSIVE movie ever made! Thanks to all the complex CGI animation. I have to admit the CGI is pretty fantastic, the hair especially. You can really notice every single hair fibre in there. Maybe if you use a microscope and pause the movie at the same time you can see her hair cells. As with most animations, the plot is good. I have to say there were parts where I had to force myself to not laugh, or smile just to let my pals know my dislike of animations. I however genuinely dislike the Disney-ish singing and dancing stuff, also the lovey dovey parts, but I respect that this is all part of Disney tradition.

    So my verdict, this is a nice and enjoyable film for families with kids especially. For people that like to keep a straight face, it might not be your cup of tea.

My Roti Rating: 6.5/10 (It's just not my favourite piece of roti)
