Movie Reviews of Spirited Away

Movie Review: Painful
Summary: 1 Stars

I had heard so many great things about this...supposedly one of the top 50 family movies. One reviewer said it was mesmerizing, but after watching it I think "agonizing" is more appropriate. I kept waiting for it to pick up but it never did. If you loved the pace of "Waterworld" and "The Accidental Tourist" then you're in for a treat here.

Movie Review: What is going on in this movie?? And why do people like it?
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this movie with the very high hopes of watching an entertaining, artsy, beautiful story packed to the brim with excitement and great characters. What I got was nothing of the kind. I watched this with 2 other people, both of whom hated it also, and we've seen a lot of movies. After 20 minutes of watching it, I remarked that I would give this movie an "F" at this point. The other two in the room agreed wholeheartedly. We kept waiting, watching, and hoping for it to improve in any way, shape, or form. No such luck. It actually got worse, because THERE IS NO STORY HERE! Nothing makes any sense at all. The characters never come to life in any way that makes any sense, the goal of the heroine never becomes apparent, and you're left waiting for the end. After one hour of complete and utter misery, we fast-forwarded and were very glad we did, because the ending also makes no sense! So WHY WATCH IT? and why do people rave on and on about it? I think one reviewer has hit the nail on the head: people are only pretending to like it because they think it makes them sound intellectual. On a scale from one to ten, we rate it a ZERO, but if you could take the scale and actually drop it on the movie, and destroy it, that might be entertaining!

Movie Review: LOVE IT
Summary: 5 Stars

Im in love with movie!!!:-) MY advise is to buy it, it will be worth it

Movie Review: Really Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a really beautiful film and great for family viewing. After watching this my kids wanted to explore new places, work on art {crayon, markers, clay, and bead} projects. And I think watching this made them appreciate what they have. It had never occured to them that a child might have to have a job or much responsibility at all. I have had less of a struggle getting them to do chores since we watched this. They were at first bothered by what happenend to the parents. I don't think they really thought bad things could happen to parents. But they understand this is magical, and I don't think it had a bad effect on them. We will watch this again. It's a little long, and we all got a little fidgety at the end. But it was wonderful and really beautiful fantasy art.
