Spirited Away (2001)
5/10
Overrated
5 October 2017
This is not a bad movie at all, but its really not that great either. I don't really understand what all the endless praise is over. The animation is amazing for sure but the story feels really convoluted. I don't really understand what the ghost character with the gold was. I didn't understand what he was or what we wanted exactly. Maybe i'm missing something.

Also their is a character that apparently is a human but also a dragon and then later turns out to be a river spirit? The f*#k?!?!

There is no real deep meaning in the movie as far as I can tell. The main character is fairly static throughout the whole movie and doesn't really grow or learn anything (she is also quite annoying at times)

Also I'm not totally sure what the target audience is supposed to be here. At times it feels like a family movie sometimes it feels like a creepy horror movie with scary looking characters. I don't really know who this movie is for.

As I said not a bad movie, but the story feels all over the place and feels pretty pointless when all is said and done.
