Cons Confusing at times, particularly for the parent generation.
Recommended it? Yes

Reporter: Ladies and Gentlemen, we're outside the grand opening of the Vinotopia Restaurant at the Cinetopia Theaters in Vancouver, Washington. We're getting reactions from diners and movie guests on their experience here tonight. Miss, excuse me. Excuse me, miss? Yes, you.

Howl?s Moving Castle: Another beautiful anti-war film by Miyazaki

Pros Beautiful animation, original story,
Cons The flow of the movie isn?t perfect.
Recommended it? Yes

This is another beautiful movie by the famed director Hayao Miyazaki. The movie takes place in a different world then our own, or at least a different past. The costumes and buildings remind me of the 1800's (birth of the steam engine, maybe a little Victorian era added in.) But they have air ships... Read full review »

Youth is Wasted on the Young

Pros Art, animation, realism, Romance (as in Medieval sense), music, Calcifer character.
Cons Unnecessarily complex story; lack of convincing motivations.
Recommended it? Yes

Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki may not have written his latest film, Howl's Moving Castle (adapted from a 1986 novel by Diana Wynne Jones), but virtually all of his artistic and narrative preoccupations and signatures are present: a young female heroine; flight (both of elaborate machines...

See Christian Bale's butt... kind of ~ Howl's Moving Castle

Pros Art, snippets of the story
Cons the story was too convoluted, not enough explanation for parts
Recommended it? Yes


When a movie is advertised with such words as …From the makers of Spirited Away, it would be almost impossible not to have high expectations going into the movie. So, needless to say, my expectations were pretty high when I sat down to watch an English-dubbed showing of Hauru no ugoku... Read full review »

Howl's Moving Castle: - A Case of Fantasy Done Right

Pros Absolutely Amazing Animation, Charming Story, Quality English Dub
Cons Story Doesn't Always Make Sense
Recommended it? Yes

I am one of the few people who is disgusted by the likes of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. It's not that I particularly dislike fantasy, rather the opposite really, but those two series (along with every other fantasy I've seen from the last few years) rub me the wrong way. They feel...

Pros Beautiful colors, lovable characters ? good times all around
Cons Story can become a little confusing
Recommended it? Yes

I happened to look at my corkboard this morning where I have a tiny list of things to review tacked up there. Suddenly I realized (*gasp!*) I hadn't ever done my review of Howl's Moving Castle! What a tragedy! So I decided to plop down, get out the movie, and bring you my review.

Pros Hiyao Miyazaki's brilliant touch on everything
Cons It's a little long for younger kids to sit through
Recommended it? Yes

Sitting through the first few seconds of Howl's Moving Castle, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Well, to be fair, I didn't even expect it beforehand. Truth is I was worried that my expectations would be too high. They weren't. The latest work from Japanese animation master, Hayao Miyazaki, Howl's... Read full review »

Pros -Animation -Dubbing -Characters
Cons -NONE
Recommended it? Yes

Hayao Miyazaki is one of the most creative directors in animation I've ever seen. All of his movies bring a unique style that can't be duplicated. I find that a lot of his films always hold a lot of depth in the storytelling, and Howl's Moving Castle is no exception.

Pros Art, animation, characters, story, humor
Cons Stupid decisions made for the English dub.
Recommended it? Yes

Don't let Howl's Moving Castle pass you by. I was aware of this movie when it was still in production, but I'm sure the general population will quite likely overlook it. Don't be part of the general population!
