Movie Reviews of Porco Rosso
Movie Review: Wonderful as usual
Summary: 5 Stars
Porco Rosso is in some ways very different from other films by Miyazaki, such as Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away. In this film, the young female, while very important, is not the center. The center is the flyer Marco, who, subject to a curse, is now a pig air ace. The movie is filled with lots of aerial action, and the plot is well, typical of Miyazaki: subtle and engaging. The evolution of Marco's character is bittersweet and a delight to watch. If you like the other movies by Miyazaki, you will like this one as well.Movie Review: Porco doesn't quite bring home the bacon (Part 7)
Summary: 2 Stars
A known fact about Hayao Miyazaki is his love for classic planes. In 1992 he brought his love of planes to life in the high flying adventure 'Porco Rosso'. This is the tale of Marco Rossillini. Once a proud Italian air force pilot,too proud for his own good which brought curse a on him. The curse, you guessed it turned him into a pig. Now a beloved outlaw constantly foiling the crimes of notorious air pirate gangs they have brought Porco his match in the egotistical American Jack Curtis. Now with a new enemy Porco has to stop being pig headed and have a little faith in his friends. Only then can he rise against Curtis and become a real airborne legend.
I had been told this is one of the most beloved Studio Ghibli films, but unfortunatly it didn't really work for me. The voice acting was great having some legends like Michael Keaton and Brad Garret, who practically stole the show as Boss. It was the story that was just too simple for me. The begining and ending sequences are so much fun filled with amazing planes bright colors and hysterical moments, but there is really no meat in between the two. The only thing I did like was his origin and how he got the curse and all this talk about him being a pig was just a tad over done. Still, I am glad I got to see it and I would say it's a movie to see maybe you will have a better time watching it.
Movie Review: Miyazaki/Pixar Masterpiece "Porco Rosso"
Summary: 4 Stars
Any avid fan of anime, historical fiction, and Studio Ghibli films should add this to their collection. It has great Sea plane/Pirate action sequences, and as always, the classic "Miyazaki, touch-of-genius" in every frame.
My family loves this DVD, even my four yr old can't get enough of "Marco Rossolini" and his sea plane exploits. Wish we would've bought it sooner!
We love this middle-aged Pig and his blinding Red Sea Plane!

Movie Review: Pretty good
Summary: 4 Stars
Everything came out pretty well. The case looked good and it came in a timely fashion.Movie Review: Porco The Great!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was an awesome Miyazaki film. It was racy, adventurous and fully entertaining for the very young to the very old. I loved it. The plot involves the misadventures of a sea plane pilot whose face has been mysteriously turned into a that of a pig. The movie is pretty void of clich?s. An excellent choice.
