WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Neil Welch In the years leading up to World War 2, aerial pirates ravage the Adriatic. Their bane is ace fighter pilot Porco Rosso.This is an exciting, amusing action-packed animated adventure. In many ways it is completely traditional apart from the fact that our hero is an anthropomorphic pig. This is part of the story, albeit almost incidental.Hayao Miyazaki contributes another film full of beauty and visual style combined with quirky sensibilities which are unlike anything else in cinema. It is exciting, funny, and completely engaging.Studio Ghibli strikes again.

Mr-Fusion It was the cover art that really caught my eye (a WWI flying ace, looks like a pig; it's funny), but I really grew to like that pig, and the characters around him even more. "Porco Rosso" is such a quirky film (and therefore endearing), its heart belonging to classic aviation and the fighter pilots of the Great War. So much attention is paid to the detailed mechanics of those old biplanes. And as funny as it might be to have a pig for your hero, or how cool the aircraft are, this is hands down one of the most resplendent movie I've ever seen. The exotic locales, the eye-popping colors . . . and those clouds! I swear, this world's so fun to visit because of its eye candy.It's a charming little thing.7/10

hayashimegumi Although the multi-language opening text that appears at the beginning of the film could be confusing, it is adorable and creative. Porco Rosso (1992) is not an ordinary animated feature. It has depth even though it could be weird as it has an unusual heroic protagonist named Marco Pagot who is half human half pig, similarly like Pigsy but is a major celebrity in this film. What captivates me the most are the elements of this film especially the people and culture in the World War era. This bizarre film could also easily pass as a feminist film since there are plenty of strong female characters of all ages and different backgrounds but then again, it is actually also quite masculine since the main character is slightly male chauvinistic and there are plenty of other male characters as well. This film is complex, just like the human society is.Even so, Porco Rosso (1990) is enchanting as it champions love and honor. You should watch this film if you haven't because it's quite fun and interesting to watch!PS. There could be Porco Rosso 2 and we can only wait for its news.

mikhail007 This is another brilliant movie from Hayao Miyazaki. He creates a beautiful world where Adriatic sea is controlled by Air Pirates. Where you can have your own hideaway island. Where you get around using your own seaplane. At it's core this is children's cartoon. It's very bright both in terms of atmosphere and colour. Maybe this is what made me like it so much as an adult. Watching this movie brought me back to my childhood when I used to dream of adventure. The movie is beautifully animated, full of humour and eccentric characters. There is a little love story. There is a little coming of age story. The plot is pretty straightforward but very consistent. Overall, an amazing movie, go see it.
