So there's this movie that just hit wide release today. Perhaps you've seen its trailers or commercials:

And I know what you're thinking, based off of its trailers or commercials.

Is Tangled a hentai movie where this girl has tentacles growing out of her head that she uses to force sex on a dude?

Cause that's what it looked like.

But, having seen the movie, I'd advise you to sweep all these aside. The trailers sit upon a throne of lies. This is actually a rather good classic-Disney-style fairytale adventure movie with excellent visuals, and is much less likely than expected to trigger any sort of "this is dumb" reaction that people seem to expect out of it. It's not a Shrekish film, and it's got either absolutely no pop-culture references, or none that weren't subtle enough to miss, and boasts some unusually complex characters.

It seems the Japanese trailer gives a more accurate sense of the movie than the US ones

Indeed. And what say the critics?

Good things! It's the only Fresh-rated film that opens this week (they gave Burlesque, Love and Other Drugs, and Faster a 36%, 34%, and 52% respectively). And if it's in 3D, see it in 3D. There are some good-looking scenes in there.

If you want spoilerish things, here are scenes seen in trailers that are NOT in the movie:
Him running from his accomplices with "Enjoy prison! I'll miss the sound of your laughter!"

The entire sequence where she's beating him up with her hair from the rafters and then drags him off into the darkness.

The clip where she flings him out of the tower window, still tied up in the chair.

Him standing on the ground saying, "Let down your--", getting clobbered by her hair, and the horse laughing at him.

    Well, considering what Disney did for the teaser and trailers, their initial reactions are quite understandable. It's just that Disney initially tried to go for an ad campaign that isn't really representative of what the movie actually is. Just saying, if you thought it looked dumb at first glance, shelve what you thought you knew about it and give it a try anyway. I was still looking forward to seeing it and I found it even better than expected.

    From what I read the other day, much of the marketing is meant to make the hero-guy seem like the lead, because Disney doesn't feel that 'Princess' movies sell anymore.

    Like, half of anything in a trailer doesn't show up in the movie. It's weird.

    Walking Tall and the jungle one were really good action movies.

    But yeah whoever the fuck is telling action stars "Hey you should totally do family comedy movies early in your career (that have dumb premises and don't include any actual comedians)!" should die.

    While trying to find some info about this movie a while back, I stumbled across a blog called Virtual Soles.

    It was a foot fetish blog that was dedicated only to computer generated feet in movies and video games. They had posted the trailer for this movie and were all masturbating furiously to it.

    I was like what

    I just can't believe there is enough demand for such a thing to exist.

    Foot fetish? Okay yeah I know that is pretty popular. Computer generated porn? Don't see why anybody would prefer it over the real stuff but sure why not.

    Combine the two and remove all nudity? I... I just don't get it.

    They're not removing all nudity, since they don't have the characters putting on shoes or boots. Nude below the ankles. Or something.

    You'd think it would appeal more to a long hair fetish site, though.
