A bit disappointed

I feel that the first 100 minutes are very dull, of course, the description of the father-son relationship is still good, and the last 20 minutes are moved. I feel that the script is a bit weak and there are many bugs, the dark feeling of human psychology is too weakly explained, and the blackening of the villain is really simple. The monster world feels similar to the human world. For the first 100 minutes, it really feels like watching an ordinary Japanese drama without any climax. It is very dull and has no cartoon feeling. About Shibuya, it feels too realistic. The overall feel of the film is not like a cartoon, but a live-action movie. I feel that Mamoru Hosoda didn't control the script well this time. He wrote too much in the front, and the contradictions in the back were a bit inexplicable. Xiong Shu also sacrificed inexplicably. I actually like Mamoru Hosoda very much, but this time I was a little disappointed.

Kaede: You know what? I've been asking myself something. "Why am I holding Ren's hand and running away with him? Here I am, scared to death, so why am I doing it? Then I remembered something. How incredibly happy I was when we first met and we started studying together. I mean, there's nobody else who enjoys studying as much as you. When I'm with you, it gives me the courage to keep going too. And right now, it's the same. Ren, if you're going to fight, then I'm staying with you. Don't forget, neither of us is ever fighting alone.

Kaede: Everyone of us carries that darkness equally. Ren carries it, and so do I. But I'm still struggling as hard as I can, even now. That's why there's no way Ren can lose to you who were so easily swallowed by the darkness. There's no way we're going to lose!
