Another great movie by the master, Hayou Miyazaki

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2010)

When I first saw this movie on T.V., I was generally disappointed. But when I saw the whole thing, I was astonished of how great the animations were and the beautiful, gorgeous artwork. I wouldn't call this movie the greatest movie by Hayou Miyazaki... okay... maybe not. I'd give it a 3rd place behind Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. While because, this film is not in the Top: 250, it should receive a third place. I've seen not all of the Hayou Miyazaki movies, but Spirited Away (which I'll mostly compare) was amazing. Howl's Moving Castle I don't think suits the writer. I'd have to read the book, I know it's based off a book. But Hayou Miyazaki usually makes some movies with child-like romances like let me explain, Porco Rosso... I didn't really enjoy. And Whisper of the Heart... the film I did enjoy. Hayou Miyazaki's movies have many adventures, friendship (with little romance), mostly fantasy. And some lyrical drama and comedy every once in a while. This film mostly had too many kisses especially the main character, who kissed almost everybody on the deck or whatever. But the film received its nice-paced drama and comedy and the action keeps some children from getting scared or crying.
Howl's Moving Castle is a definite must-see movie for grown-ups and children.
