Legend of the Millennium Dragon (Japan, 2011)

A 15-year-old boy goes 1200 years back in time to find his unlikely destiny as the savior to end the war between humans and demons.

Legend of the Millennium Dragon has got a bad rep in the review business from what I can gather. Some of the cons I agree with, but I don't think they make it a bad film at all. Some characters are underdeveloped, sure, and the plot isn't as original as you want it to be, but it's still an entertaining samurai and monster adventure with good visuals. It felt like it tried a bit hard to be like a Studio Ghibli film, like Princess Mononoke (1997) and Spirited Away (2001), and when you compared it to those of course it falls flat. See it for what it is and you'll appreciate it much more, I think.
