In all fairness, the mind powers thing is from the novel.
They even made it less bizarre for the film.
I just think the Japanese version has better pacing and score, and its simpler imagery is far more effective than the pretty-but-over-complex effects of Verbinski's version.
It's the subtler, more understated film.
