Review of Paprika

I shall sait it from the start, is not a good movie. Sure, I see the reasons why people view this as a classic and whatnot (i saw it like that too) but when a while back saw the movie again, I ended up really disapointed comparing it to what I thought I had watched a long time ago. Let's say the good things first. As a concept, this movie is fantastic and the visuals are the primary reason for that. They give you a sense of magic and mistery and hype unique to this movie, and is enjoyable as long as it goes. The characters are''rounded'' and almost feel like people, the music is all around amazing and when it ends it leaves you with a good feeling. Buuut, when you start analyzing it, you start watching the problems with it.
I'm too lazy to do the rest, I will edit this someday to expose this as the piece of shit that really is.
So, I came back. As I was saying.
Although this are all really strong points in making an anime, we shall not forget the primary and only reason why we're here: a good story.
Sadly, paprika doesn't have one. They have a great concept, but the movie could have been so much cooler if they just focused in the psychological part of the series, instead of a lot of really trippy imagery trying to justify it.
For example: To me, the greatest parts of the movie are those were the detective Kogawa Toshimi apears (yes, I just googled it. Don't judge). From the begining of the movie, we know there isn't something right about him. He has a recuring dream of shooting someone in the back, and all that causes him an inmense stress (I won't say more because spoilers). The point is that, this movie could just have forgotten completely of the stolen aparatus and just centered in the PSYCHOLOGICAL part of the cast, their personalities, inmerse in THEIR dreams and it would have been so much better, concise and not all around stupid.
Sincerily, a guy with free time. (that is an Austin reference)

So, now with the common.

Story: 4/10
Yeah... It has a good base, but it was so poorly executed. What a shame.

Art: 10/10
Would suck artist cock

Music: 10/10
Fucking orgasms

Enjoyment: 7/10
I won't lie, this movie is enjoyable as long as you dont think too much of it.

Character: 5/10
Only the detective is a well builded character. Maybe the female scientist?
And paprika is just a joke...

Fuck, I really wanted to like this movie.
