NiNoKuni is an excellent adaptation that captures the spirit of the series. Fans of Studio Ghibli films or fantasy animes should absolutely press play on this delightful, whimsical, and emotional story.

All anime is not created equal, and this derivative cosplay-oriented eye-candy is a "meh" of a movie.

Rated: 1.5/4

Ni no Kuni is not magical, and therefore smells like something we've all smelled before.

All in all, the plot is about as lifeless as the animation.

Rated: 2/5

No matter which story you want to tell, NINO KUNI does all it can to provide the magic and spectacle that any movie can bring.

I don't know about the others but this movie was an absolute delight! I enjoyed how much it resembled Studio Ghibli content. After a stressful day, this really helped calm me down and relaxed me quite a lot. As a teen and an avid Studio Ghibli fan, this was well worth the watch.

An average Netfilx film. Not that memorable, weak and predictable story and weak characters.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Entertaining enough, a bit rushed in the last half when all things went bananas, but a great concept. A lot of explaining, not showing, which is a bit annoying, but, all in all, an excellent idea of a story and cool graphics.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

i love this movie, most people find this movie somewhat of a blunder. but i like it anyway. If you haven't played any of the games you don't understand the movie. The plot was just great, it was very emotional.
