Considering how long it's been since episode III and how great the TV series have been (both SW: The Clone Wars and Rebels), I had been eagerly looking forward to the next installment. While I satisfied with this movie, the "wow" factor wasn't there, although I admit I may have had too high expectations. Still a movie not to be missed.
My classmates and I selected this movie for our class movie night, which I thought was appropriate as we are health professionals in training :) Though many of us shed tears near the end, we all agreed it was a great movie with much heart.
I admit that "Frozen" has kind of eclipsed this movie's popularity, but its presentation of Rapunzel's struggles is just as relevant today as it was when it came out. Go Pascal!
The start of their adventures! While their meet-up with a Certain Mastermind is pretty much at the end, it's funny to see how they've gone through time and space. Extra LOL for the mic drop :D
I've wondered what exactly went down in the Clone Wars, or basically what happened between Episodes II and III, and this movie (along with the action-packed TV series) helps to answer that.

Keep your USB- and micro USB-enabled devices powered and ready for use with this PNY PowerPack portable charger, which features a lithium-ion battery with 2600 mAh capacity and a USB port and micro USB interface for reliable power.
Best money spent in a long while. I bought mine in October to use with an iPhone 5G, and it's still running well. It holds a full charge after ~30 min of charging. Only con is it sometimes turns "on" if jostled in a crowded purse or bag. Well worth its price.

I admit. My only other experience with Godzilla was that poor attempt in the late '90s, so I was understandably wary with this release. Boy am I relieved that I'm not alone in shunning the '90s version (if you could call it that)! This movie packs action with a solid story line; the pace was somewhat slow to start, but picks up as the movie goes on. Good choice for a movie night with friends.
