If you like the Anime save yourself don't watch! (5 more)
Ruined entire premise of light
Ruined L
Bad writing
What's with this teen angst
With seriously never been so angry
I'm used to Hollywood ruinning Japanese anime by now. However this is possibly the worst anime film adaption ever.
Anime/magna Light is a genius who at the start truly does what he believes is right and just and later power turns him mad, into a genius on power who clever enough to manipulate a good of death. What does this film give us a whingey teenage angst ridden pathetic human being who in love with the cliche of cliche cheerleader.
Don't get me started with the cheerleader
L anime and manga is a genius who has beyond increble presence power and essence not to mention his stance and love of cake is notorious that makes you love him more. This L is just bad and that giving him credit.
William Dafoe plays the voice of Ryuk which isn't enough to do anything for this film unfortunately because I do love William Dafoe and no one plays villain like him but the writing and general Hollywood let see if we can make generic cash cow by using popular teen actors rather than getting decent script writer or following any semblance of plot has ruined this movie

I don't know about this one. I'm not sure if it has an anime series, or if it's just a manga, but this first volume leaves a lot to be desired. (I just looked, and I guess there is an anime series. I hope it's better!) It's fine in some parts, and in others, the story seems to just appear out of nowhere. It may have potential, but volume 2 won't be moved to the top of my reading pile.

Live action anime that's full of action
Potentially unpopular review starting in 3,2,1...I think this is a better watch than the anime. Now I love anime and I've seen the original but do I love it? No - it's good but not great. Now this live action version delivers on all fronts. Visually its stunning and all the action sequences are great. Now my review is not the place to get into the issue that is whitewashing. Scarlett Johansson does a brilliant job and gets all the mannerisms right - even her walk BUT could an Asian actress have done the job? Of course. Speaking of Asian actors Best Takeshi is awesome as usual and steals every scene he is in. Well worth a watch.

Just Bad
There's so much they could have done with this movie. They missed the opportunity to make a really great film. There is practically no characterization. Characters are flat archetypes; no one is real and relatable. The concept is interesting and has the ability to be a deep and complex film. I started watching the anime a little while back and stopped because the 'anime' style storytelling is off-putting. I was interested by the premise and really wanted to watch a good re-telling of the story. I was sorely disappointed.

A Different Kind of Anime
A great read for anyone looking for a different kind of anime. You won't find any dappy romance here however. Rather you'll find blood and gore as the heroes face off against impossible enemies. If the action doesn't keep you interested the intriguing plotline will as you travel along with the heroes to find what exactly they're facing and if there's any hope of defeating the Titans. Be warned this is one of those stories where you're never sure which character is going to die next!
Bostonian916 (449 KP) rated Spirited Away (2001) in Movies
Aug 20, 2020
Studio Ghibli remains the most important studio in the history of anime. Spirited Away is one of, if not, my favorite anime of all time.
What sets it apart is the execution of the story telling. Two thirds of the movie takes place during mundane tasks like eating and cleaning. Something so simple is surprisingly remarkably refreshing.
I don't want to go into the meanings that can be interpreted within the film. I don't want to spoil anything to prevent anyone from drawing their own conclusions, but please see this movie. You will wonder why it took so long to do so.
