A Lacking story with Two great characters

Rating: 4/10 (2 August 2014)

I enjoyed Tangled when I watched in back in 2010 in theaters, but after many repeat viewings years later, I realize I like it less than I thought I did then.
The story is nothing original. It's the typical Disney princess formula. I love Disney films but at least other films (even with the formula) had some uniqueness to them.
The best of Tangled:
Flynn/Eugene and Maximus. These two stole the film and were the film. Honestly, Rapunzel was not needed at all with these two being much more likable and charming. They were funny and they both developed/grew at the film's end.
The animation is breathtaking. So beautiful.
The worst of Tangled:
The songs were bad. Only "See the Light" was memorable.
The vikings. They were just...why?
Rapunzel. She was the typical naive, perky, spunky, awkward female character and her design was oddly proportional. I didn't mind her but it's pretty bad when I enjoyed Flynn, Maximus, Pascal, and Gothel more than the main character.
The love between Flynn and Rapunzel was great, though. It was heartwarming and wonderful and the ending was a beautifully-sad twist. But besides that, the film was just an average effort in storytelling. Great visuals and characters but horrible songs and storyline.
