Movie Review: Spirited Away
Jul. 3rd, 2003 02:25 pmSo very disappointing. :( Billed as a masterpiece of animation and an engrossing tale of adventure and discovery, I was deeply dismayed to realize that by about half-way through I was checking the box to see how long before it was over. The animation was, in fact, wonderful and the creatures were fascinating, but the plot was dull and dragged on for two hours. It would have been wonderful in the hands of a different writer, or as a graphic novel, but in this incarnation, I give it one and a half thumbs down.
