Title: Misogyny and Cultural Misappropriation, Oh My!
Review: I realize this is an animated movie, but I guess I've developed an expectation for quality of storyline from animation like "Spirited Away." Not only does this film fall back on tired cliches, but it twists the source of these myths and mythological concepts in such a manner to be insulting to the original culture as well as the viewer. The easiest example of this is the treatment of Valkyries. I don't expect the film to pass the Bechdel test (more than one woman having an intelligent conversation on a topic *other* than men), but to portray Valkyries as man-haters?! Really? Read a book. Or maybe learn something about a mythos before you stomp all over it.Crap entertainment and, even worse, boring crap entertainment.
Is the review positive or negative?
