Finally watched Spirited away from start to finish...

[Paul]

It's basically a whimsical family movie. I enjoyed it, but wouldn't rate is amongst my favourite Miyazaki movies. Nausicaa (reconfirmed on with today's airing on Film4) is still my favourite.

Its a visually stunning film, and its certainly entertaining to a point. However it has its flaws, most of which reoccur in howl's moving castle (only ten times worse).

While I generally except it to be cheesy, at the end it goes into overdrive. As with 'Howl' good and evil characters team up for almost no reason. This is no doubt meant to be heartwarming, but it struck me as cringe worthy and forced. The plot at the end is also fairly shaky, and not particularly well implemented.

i found it very boring.

Same here. Visually very good, and an imaginative story, but it was just too long and didn't really hold my interest. I was actually looking forward to it finishing.
