| If it isn't clear by now, Margaret Thatcher will help: This movie is perfect, it is appreciated and beloved by both critics and audiences and I honestly don't know how can anyone not enjoy and feel wondered by it. |
| Hey listen I ain't watched but I am now cause Elon Musk said it was good (yes that is pretty much the only reason why I'm gonna watch it) |

| I definitely have a stable of Ghibli titles I appreciate, with Spirited Away ranked highly among them. But I would say that my love of the studio's titles isn't universal, there are plenty of titles of theirs that are of little interest to me. I would definitely say Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro are some of my personal favourites from the studio. |

| Yes A tad. Most people tend to jump on the Ghibli/ Miyazaki band wagon just because its like the "in thing" for anime. And to a certain point, they are correct in that much of what the studio has made is a perfect introduction to anime for the young and those of cultures that simply know nothing about anime at all. It just seems like a lot of the films made were too similar, and even though a lot of them have great female protagonists, after Princess MOnonoke, they all just seemed like lesser, poor substitutes. I have seen Spirited away at least twice, but I just am not into it, giving it just a solid 6/10. |
| I've just finish it, and yeah it's overated. The story/world itself is barely explained on the movie, leaving a felling that the story is just random things happening. Sure, all that is happening clearly have a meaning, but the movie thinks it's better not explaining anything for the audience (maybe an attempt of being more artistic). Personally, I think a story carried about barely explained symbolisms is basically empty. It does have a great animation, a lot of creative stuff happening, good characters (Chihiro have a great character development throughout the movie) and a really beautiful soundtrack. Because of all those things, I consider as a good movie, and I rate it a 7/10. But it definitely should try to explain what was happening in order to be enjoyable in terms of storytelling |

| it is. like the film is completely pointless. howl's moving caste, whisper of the heart & only yesterday are so much better. periodttttt |

| Any movie that is rated ‘PG children’ is overrated |
 |
| ____ is overrated. Is it really necessary to ask if every popular series is overrated or not? If you don’t like it, then so be it; if you like it, then good for you. People really like pissing on popular shows. Also, no, anything by Miyazaki is not overrated. |
| If the plot is what make the score so high, then yes it's overrated. Artwise it's great. |
| Not at all , the movie was perfect everything about it is just so beautiful , the direction , the art , the background art , the music , the editing , the colors , the story , the script , the world of movie was charming , the characters And the relationships between them , the character disign , and honestly Spirited Away gives me all of the feelings if you don't like the type of the movie that doesn't mean it's overrated |

| movie is great, i think something like this where there isnt much plot but still feels so imaginative and fun is hard to execute some can say miyazaki/ghibli is overrated in general, and not all the movies are great but this one for sure is. |
  |
| No. It deserves 10/10. |
| Nope. It is one of the best children's movie and one of the best animated movies of all time and definitely deserves all the praise it gets. |
 |
| Yes complete garbage |
| It is directed at children first and foremost. As an Adult, you personally would not be impacted by this film, but totally different when you think about its impact on a child. So let us think about the film critically to appreciate it. A young child named Chihiro wanders away into a spirit world that mirrors reality. Her parents turn into nasty, disgusting pigs prepared for slaughter. Despite the fact that Chihiro got into an argument with her parents and at the time hated them, she could not bear to see them die. Most children would feel the same way and this film puts that into perspective for them. Now as for the other spirits, they represent other people in the world. Essentially, Chihiro lives her whole life span in this mirror world. She plays with a guy (childhood friend), meets a random blacksmith (apprenticeship), works at the bathhouse (works her way up) until she meets some old hag (meets the boss), gets in trouble and a dragon comes to help her (meets her childhood friend again except they've grown up to be as extravagant as a dragon), then saves her parents and goes back to reality (basically she dies and reincarnates). During the time Chihiro is working, she also comes into contact with many spirits who are like friends that come and go, love interests, and No-Face who represents Chihiro's own child. No-face wants to gain Chihiro's approval while she's strict on it and everyone dotes it, eventually, No-face lashes out at Chihiro and eventually calms down just like a child tantrum, and No-face also learns and takes on personalities from people it eats. If No-face wanted to eat Chihiro, then it'd represent a child wanting to grow up to be like their parent. The effect this would have for a kid is a game-changer, even if temporary. The whole film is essentially a lesson for children who misbehave. "Hate your parents and you won't have a fun life". Again, it is a children's movie. The impact it had on me as a kid is 10/10, if I were to watch it for the first time every as an adult, I'd rate it 5/10. |

The brilliance of the film lies in transcending the "need" for a story. |

| It's great. Watched last night and fell in love with it. |
 |
| Kinda, but it isn't bad either. |
 It's hard to win an argument against smart people, but impossible to win an argument against dumb ones. |
| This movie was perfect in every way so no I don't think so |
