Beautiful graphics, Nonsense plot, Shallow characters, Disappointing movie

Rating: 4/10 (18 April 2020)

I watched the original Japanese dub with English subtitles. I was originally excited to watch it as it was from studio ghibli but I was disappointed.
The positive: Graphics are beautiful. I can't find any other positive things about this movie.
The negative: The plot is random and doesn't make any sense. It's basically a girl meets a prince charming and fall in love immediately (eye roll) with the back drop of war and threat of enemies of the protagonists.
Then midway through the film the first enemy and its goonies have no threat and they stay together with the main characters. The second enemy attack for a good second and then nothing happened. At last the war ended all of sudden, happily ever after.
There are no consequence of any actions from any characters. The war could have mean something or impact the characters but it didn't. I also find the main characters love unfounded as they only interacted a few times. There was a back story of the male lead which could have potential but it wasn't developed in the movie and he's as interesting as a staled bread.
I don't understand why there were so many high reviews of this movies, but if you appreciate a certain amount of common sense and logic in the stories then I won't recommend this movie to you.
