Hauru no ugoku shiro (2004)
A big...disappointment.
Miyazaki, with his breathtaking animation and awesome resume, i thought, would do a great job adapting one of my new favorite novels at the time, Howl's moving Castle.
I was wrong. As many have said, if you've seen a lot of Miyazaki's work, this won't impress you much. I left the theater disgusted that i paid ten dollars for this movie.
The carefully sculpted plot of the book is ripped away. Replacing it is a mediocre mixture of Mononoke, Spirited away, and a bit of Nausicca. The ending, specifically really stupefied me. I didn't see any morals, or anything i could relate to. The revelation of Howl as a giant bird completely threw me. I seriously caution all DWJ fans to NOT see this movie. If you want to see a good adaption of a book, save yourself some money, and don't go. Only if you want to see a movie that looks like Miyazaki was being completely unoriginal, but with really awesome animation, should you go.
Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings (2002)
A film to see with friends SPOILERS^_^
I first saw this movie on a sunny Saturday afternoon.I thought that it was horrible. The only redeeming fact was that the mouse attacked the bad guy and when he was flung away, yelled 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh I Can fly I can FlYY*thump*'Ha ha ha... It's too too funny, now that I have talked my friends into seeing it. There are so many jokes ripe for the plucking in this film. If you see this film and realize that they were dead serious about it, you will see the hilarity. Watching it over and over again, makes me realize that the acting is horrid, the sound makes the b&W movie from 'Singing in the rain'(it was...the dueling cavalier...) look good. Of course, the fact that the bad guy was slain by mice made it seem like a Disney trumps all.. I think that bad movies are the best movies. especially to see with friends!!!^___^
