No hate...it was a bomb and about a $100mil write down...

Disney is about dollars...not magic. It is what it is.

Oh no, I get that, I just meant the people that say that say it's a crap movie, I don't get that.

 

[Ursula's Apprentice]

I personally liked it, but I expected more towards the end. Pretty dissapointing ending in my opinion.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of ending would have made it better for you? I kinda took it to be that "there's a great big beautiful tomorrow" and that if people who actually cared were in charge, the world would a better place. Typical Disney pixie dust, yes, but still. I'd much prefer a hopeful ending than a dreary one.

Anyone who picks Cheerios over lucky charms needs their heads examined.

This goes beyond minions vs r2 d2

Some things are more important...

I don't think the PP necessarily meant the ending ending - I think he more meant the climax. (Spoilers ahead for those that haven't seen it.) The movie spends 75 % of it's running time building up to getting to Tomorrowland - and that something is happening that's risking the Earth's future - and then they get there and there's like three people there - and then there's a goofy battle with a robot and it's over. I actually enjoyed the conclusion of the movie - but the climax to get there just fell flat for me.

Ok, I'll give you that. That part was kinda...eh.

My bad. As skier_pete said, I was actually refering to the climax of the movie as a whole. When the whole confrontation with Hugh Laurie's character ended, I was actually expecting something else to happen. It felt rushed or unifinished... Can't quite put my finger on what didn't feel so right about it. In my opinion it just took way too long until they finally got to Tomorrowland, though the first half was pretty solid.

Good. I need Star Wars land completed by 2020. Celebrating turning 40 at WDW in 2020 sounds like a plan.

 

[luisov]

It will be an interesting year for DHS, at the very least. It's going to be a total mess, so it better be worth it.
