This movie made me want to spirit myself as far away as possible. . .

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2003)

All I can say about this film is. . . I cannot see why this film is such a masterpiece to some people. Answer me this. They take so much time to do detailed back grounds, which are beautiful, but are hidden by the grotesque characters that seem to all look the same to me, no matter what kind of anime. I found myself being lost in the plot several times, with very poor character development, and apparently hyperactive dubbing. What I mean by that is, how come everything they say, not matter what it is, comes out all in one rushed, messy breath. Though, I did find this movie rather a comedy. My brother and I had a few good laughs, especially when Sen runs down the stairs and smacks into the wall. That was pretty funny, I must say. The only reason why we went to the movie in the first place was because my brother recieved credit extra credit for his college class for watching it. What a waste of over 2 hours of my life! I could have been sharpening pencils, or making paper airplanes! Also, I found that there were characters that seemed to play no part at all. Example:No face. Ok, so he is the bad guy for about, 5 minutes, but then has no real purpose for being in the movie. What is with that guy anyway. Eeesh! I have nightmares about that one. . . In conclusion, I just want to say, that through out this on going movie, I was ended up multipul times getting lost and confused. My eyes also started to hurt after watching the choppy animation move across the screen. I give this movie, on a scale from 1 to 5, 1 being the worst, 5 being the best, I gets a big, fat 1, or maybe a zero. No, one. I liked the backgrounds and things that they actually spent time on. . . It is too bad Disney had to take part in this film. . .
