My rating system is simple. Five stars means "Wow! I want to see/read it again." and one star means "That was a complete waste of time."

This film received mixed reviews when it debuted in 1998. But watching it after the events of September 11th is a haunting experience. It deals with terrorist cells, hijacking in New York City, lack of cooperation between Federal agencies, violations of civil liberties, and the torture of prisoners. Why don't we learn from the past, even if it's fictional?

The preview trailer for Big Hero 6 did not prepare me for the ups and downs of the storyline. It was a beautiful surprise. Combining super-hero action with a touching story about love and forgiveness, this movie kept me engaged and made me cry a little bit.
