Reviews

adonis98-743-186503 When an unconfident young woman is cursed with an old body by a spiteful witch, her only chance of breaking the spell lies with a self-indulgent yet insecure young wizard and his companions in his legged, walking castle. Hauru No Ugoku Shiro is another film that doesn't belong on the Top 250 and to be honest i'm just tired of keep seeing again and again movies that are just overrated. This film is all magic and stuff but not full of adventure or great animation movies like The Iron Giant and The Incredibles are 100 times better than this movie easily. (0/10)

gw-96323 Another favorite from Miyazaki I love this film just as much as Spirited Away this was also recommended to me by my best friend (girlfriend) during middle school I thank her for showing me to the world of Studio Ghibli I love this film but it's a little bit behind Spirited Away by one point overall a 10.1 outta 10.2 it's a masterpiece of an adaptation of Diana Wynne Jones' 1986 novel I love this film and I love Ghibli the characters are wonderful the story is wonderful everything in this film is amazing except for (Warning Ahead Minor Spoiler)the end of the Sulieman scene

magongua I have loved all the Hayao Miyazaki's movies I have seen. And this one is no exception. The characters are so compelling, even though the story is so fantastical, you can actually relate to them. The story is also beautiful and you can see the growth in the characters as is progresses. I do really recommend it to everyone who wants to experience something magical and amazing.

Clifton Johnson Classic Miyazaki, from the magical realism to the strong female protagonist to the dark humor to the story that sucks you in despite being somewhat convoluted. Plus, this one has the added benefit of being commentary about the pointlessness of war. It's not his best ever (aka Totoro), but it is pretty great nonetheless.
