My Comment:
Wow, it was amazing.... This is one of the best musical movies I've ever seen. The Music pieces are incredible! The plot didn't predominate however it played an important role on finding the musics by August Rush. I was shocked when I knew that Jonathan could actually sing. He had a great voice. The musics, I like the slow sad "Moondance" tune and the piece from August for the last music for the scene. Definitely going to by those pieces. However, this movie was not flawless. The stunt-hand of August Rush's hand looked a bit old and crippled.

My Comment:
It was the best superhero movie i've ever watched. Brilliant! And it's unique. And the plot was cool. Not like other superhero movies. They were irrational (bitten by bug or alien). But this one was full technology! The character was unlike usual hero, Tony was a player and he liked to be praise, and that's why he admitted that he was iron man.
I've watched this movie twice and i'm going to watch it again!

Tt was a simple disney movie...
And i love it! but previous disney's cartoons are better, like mulan and pocahontas.
