Horrible!!

Rating: 1/10 (30 October 2007)

I was so thoroughly disgusted watching this movie!! You can't even say that this movie is loosely based on the book. They changed who was good and bad and the ENTIRE plot for ABSOLUTELY no reason or benefit! The book would have made a great family movie. I wouldn't let my kids watch this. The writers and director should be ashamed of themselves! I can only imagine what Ms. Jones thinks about a movie "from her book". There was no war or machines in the book! Howl never turned into a monster! If you say the movie comes from the book, it should come from the book! If not say, "based on an idea". This is not a kids' movie. This movie has a lot of powerful ideas about war and politics.
