Rating: Summary: Enchanting Tale of Personal Transformation Review: SPIRITED AWAY is a movie you can watch again and again -- because it's art work is first-rate, the story is refreshingly original, and the characters are engaging. The story takes place in modern-day Japan, when a ten-year-old girl explores a strange place with her parents and finds herself "spirited away". The spirits in this story are an exotic mix of frogs, humanoids, and river spirits. When her parents are transformed into pigs, our young heroine must rely on inner strength, hard work, and newfound friends to make the best of a very challenging situation. Parents and children alike will be enchanted by this film -- it's awesome!
Rating: Summary: Excellent movie Review: When I first got this movie, my son didn't want to see it because it was about a girl. He likes action and boy movies. After we saw the movie with his friend. He want to see it again the next day. It's very entertaining and educational like Harry Potter. We need more of this type of movie. There are too much non-sense shows on TV.
Rating: Summary: great movie, great love story Review: the environments in the movie are great and the movie tells a great love story. Though it is an animation, adults will enjoy the love story because it is about true love and not some silly romantic comedy type of love story. The story is great and I laughed several times and gaped in awe other times. I missed the first 20 or so minutes of the movie but after the movie was finished, I understood what happened in the beginning. Is that a spoiler? I must stop now.
Rating: Summary: And they watched and they watched and watched... Review: Never before have my three children (10, 8, 4) been so enthralled with a movie. After their 4th or 5th viewing, I had to see for myself. Words can't describe the theme, but it is very captivating. My 8-year-old daughter said it's about a girl who has to find her way back from another world... So true. A world of spirits and of friendship, of trust and mistrust. A wonderful chidren's movie, yet a lot of offering for the adult soul too. You have to view for yourself...
Rating: Summary: Great Movie!! Review: Typically I don't really enjoy animated films, but this one was awesome! It kept my attention and was really a unique movie. I couldn't even guess what was going to happen next. This is a must-see for both adults and kids. It does have some very scary scenes for young kids (my 3 year old was scared a few times and wanted me to turn it off) so I would definitely recommend adult supervision while watching.
Rating: Summary: I loved it!! 10 stars!!!! Review: This was the best movie. I loved it! Definately on my all time favorites list. I have two young daughters at the perfect age to watch this movie and I bought it for myself. It is so different. I have never seen anything like it. I had seen Kiki's Delivery Service in the past. I like that one fine...Spirited Away beats that out a thousand times over. The story is much more sophisticated (as animation anyway). It was nothing like I expected and I was in total awe of it. I loved his take on the spirit world. The main character was very likeable and enchanting. I love seeing a female heroin and I think its a good movie for my two girls to be exposed to. It really gives them a break from that "Princess" mentality. Loved it!!
Rating: Summary: Not a Disney film... Review: ... and thank God for that! And, like some of the other reviewers said, we don't really need an intro in front of the film. Yes, yes, we know, Disney released it, but so what? I suggest this: switch to the original Japanese track and turn on the English sub-title. It's better that way. Not that the "English-speaking" cast didn't do a great job, it just is not the same.
Rating: Summary: Spellbinding! Review: I bought this movie after renting it from the local video store. I only rented it because we live in Japan, but my 4 year old daughter was spellbound. She did not move from her seat the entire movie. This is the only movie she has ever watched this way.
Rating: Summary: Bad argument and bad ending Review: I saw this DVD at a friends house I had a lot of expectactions about it since it was a Disney merchandised product... well I began to see it and my girlfriend wanted to vomit after the first ten minutes from seen such grotesque creatures in that movie . The ending was quite bad also since people are turned back to normal but that world stays as evil as in the beginning...well so if you want really good manga better go with the Macross Series...
Rating: Summary: One of the greatest thing ever made Review: Spirited Away was awsome when i started watching it after the first 2 miniutes i knew it would be good just for the animation. But i never expected to like it so much it is just so good miyazaki is a genius! The movie is great definatly worth buying it is good for anyone kids or adults definatly one of my favorite movies
