I am sure it is redundant for me to write a review on this film, since many others have already praised it. I will tell you this, watching this film made me feel like if I was in a wonderful dream. Scary at times, thrilling at times and very magical. I am an adult now, by definition, and I don't have the same imagination I used to have when I was younger, however this movie brings that imaginative youngster out of me (sheesh I sound like a senior citizen). The movie has beautiful animation and a wonderful score. The music throughout the film captures the atmosphere impeccably. Some people have given this movie negative reviews saying that there was no clear plot, well I say when does a dream have a clear plot? It really does'nt now does it? Not that I am saying that this movie is plotless, in fact the simple plot is all that is needed here, nothing else. There is even some bias mainly because it is not a "western" story, and it deals with some aspects of shintoism and eastern belief in spirits...etc. I was discussing this movie with a friend who did not like it saying he thought it was "weird" with all those "spirits and monsters" in it. So I asked him if he liked 'Alice in wonderland' and 'Wizard of Oz'? Guess what he answered? In fact he became aware of his bias. In conclusion I will say that you have to enter this movie with an open mind and do not look at it as a kid's cartoon (although kids will love it). Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

A cigarette takes away 6 min of your life, this movie takes away 80 min of it. I cannot believe I watched this movie till the end, hoping the story would develop, it did'nt. Basically darkside blues takes place in the future where some corporate evil is up to their no good doings, and there are a bunch of rebels against them, and some mysterious guy appears out of nowhere, the end. I don't remember all of it, since I am trying to forget about this disaster. I would recommend anything else over this, yes even garbage pail kids the movie!

This movie is beyond pathetic it does not deserve a place in IMDB. There is a reason it is the #1 worst movie in IMDB. If you have an IQ above retard you will not like it. If you laugh lines like "What the f- is this, mental illness week?" then sit back and enjoy.
