Reviews
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
branflakes1522 How did Wallace and Gromit beat this movie for best animated feature?
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.
decopon_kobe Sophie is a girl but becomes an old lady due to curse by a witch. Sophie meets Howl who is a magician. She starts to live with Howl in his moving castle. First, buildings, characters, and clothes are colorful and artistic. Simply, we enjoy just pictures. Soft color combination and depiction makes Grand worldview, I think. Story line and themes is difficult a little. Watching this a number of times help to digestion and give new a way of appreciating and messages. I like this movie the best in Ghibli works. First, Howl is so cool in that both appearance and inside. His personality is conceited but weakling. Though he looks sorry on the face of it, these bring his gentility and strength, I think. No matter how many times I watch is, I enjoy Howl's attraction and I think real theme of the movie.
