Movie Reviews of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Movie Review: A spectacular anime film!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best anime films I have seen. Excellent story, creativity abounds, and animation is wonderful. Once you watch it, you will want to own a copy!Movie Review: Just as good as the rest!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the latest movie we have added to our family's collection of movies by Miyazaki and as usual we were not disappointed one bit. My daughter was so taken with it she is planning on being Nausicaa for Halloween (she was Miyazaki's Princess Mononke last year). As is typical you are pulled into the story at once and you never want to get out. We have viewed it at least a half a dozen times or more since we got it and we are not tired of it one bit. You can see in these characters the germs that will be the the two main characters in Castle in the Sky, which was his next project. If you liked Spirited Away or any others by Miyazaki you will find this one just as satisfying. If you have never seen a Miyazaki movie and are wanting to see one this is fantastic, though Spirited Away or Castle in the Sky (if you have a little girl, start with Kiki's Delivery Service) might be slightly better for a first one. But do definitely see them all, they ROCK!Movie Review: Imaginative
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie in intense and creative. Violence is included along with a beautiful story line. Highly reccommended. Our family loves it, but our young girls 6 & 8 have only seen some parts allowed by us. Loved this movie and any others by Miyazaki.Movie Review: You can tell it's early Miyazaki
Summary: 3 Stars
"Nausicaa" lacks the fluidity of animation and depth of visual detail of Miyazaki's later works - plus, Nausicaa is just too perfect of a heroine, and everyone she meets goes gaga over how perfect she is. The story lags a bit, but the ending is sufficiently "feel-good" to make the watching worth it.
In the original release the character's name sounds more like Naushika, and I wish they would have kept that, because Nausicaa sounds too much like "nausea." Not a good link!
Movie Review: I must be missing something....
Summary: 2 Stars
I really did not like this movie, and I absolutely love this genre and this director's work. What happened? This movie was just toooooo weird. Giant bug shells...?? Confusion as to what exactly the plot was...?? I had no idea what was going on and quite frankly I found that I didn't care. I hate saying this, because I love this kind of movie (Howl's Moving Castle lifted my spirit, I've seen it more times that I can count; The Cat Returns is beautiful; Spirited Away is awesome, etc...), but I really did NOT like this one. I didn't care about the lead character, and felt I never got to know her at all. She was dull and had no discernable heroic qualities. I found none of the other characters even memorable. The animation itself was gorgeous, however.
I wish I could share in the apparant joy that everyone else here has for this one, I really do, but I have to be honest and quite frankly this movie was totally boring and made absolutely no sense.
