Liked it. It's too bad they took it out of the movie as it is a nice lead-in to the story.

I liked it! Of course I have a different taste than everyone else, but I was entertained. I had fun looking for Disney history, the park tie-ins and I thought the story was every bit as good as anything else released by Hollywood. I also enjoyed The Lone Ranger and that was a "bust".

I go to the movies to be entertained. Plots or character development aren't always the most important component of a good movie for me. When I leave the theater, if I feel I was entertained or something in the movie sparked a curiosity, made me laugh, angry, sad, or provoked thought - my money was well spent.

Regardless of what experts and critics are saying or writing about movies, I'll go see it. I think it's easy to write a bad review and I think critics get more website visits by bashing a movie. That's just my critique of the critics :blush:

Anyway - I think it's sad that new ideas and concepts are often brushed aside or scorned by the public. $$ drives the industry just like everything else, so I'll wait patiently for Frozen 2, Terminator (what are we on now 5?), Jurassic Park 4, Avengers 3, Batman ??, and Independence Day 2 - and I will probably like them all anyway.

Just saw Tomorrowland today with Mark, our youngest. We were looking forward to it and found it to be so-so. The acting was good, the story seemed like it was sort of confused to me. I can see why it hasn't done well and won't be picking this up on BD.

:ditto:

I was very excited to see Tomorrowland after seeing the short segment at Disneyland - and it took us a few weeks but we finally found time to go. I have to say that I was entertained during the movie. But looking back it seems like there are some inconsistencies/questions with the plot. I don't think that it has a lot of repeat viewing appeal but it was a fun way to spend a couple of hours.

That said I still think my favorite part as a Disney fan is the part that was shown at Disneyland - the portion at the New York World's Fair. I loved that IASW served as a portal!!! And it was cool to see how the fair was imagined for the movie.

I"m glad that Disney has been making movies that appeal to Disney history fans! I still think Saving Mr. Banks is the best movie I've seen in several years.

Yes, I loved this!!

I think the critics are being too harsh.
The movie was ok. Not great, but certainly not bad!

I must say I really enjoyed it and loved the concept ..I will be getting the dvd when it's out
