Movie Reviews of Porco Rosso

Movie Review: Another Miyazaki masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars

While this film of course has its share of silly, slapstick comedy a child may enjoy; the theme itself has a 1950s Bogart quality to it. You can throw in this movie and Casablanca and see where I'm going at. I enjoyed the movie not just as a beautifully animated feature, but a wonderful story that could be retold as an Oscar-worthy live action feature film. I would highly recommend this to fans of Studio Ghibli, Bogart classics, romance, action, and suspense.

Movie Review: For the whole family
Summary: 5 Stars

This is really a gorgeous movie, like all Studio Ghibli offerings. Having read the reviews and commentary that Miyazaki was aiming at businessmen, I bought this for me - however , my 4 year old daughter loves this movie as much as she loves Kiki's Delivery Service. There is nothing too scary, and there are enough jokes and great flying scenes to not only keep my daughter's attention, but also for her to demand to see it again and again.

Movie Review: Red Pig Rules
Summary: 5 Stars

Think Casablanca but funnier, more action, great fight scenes, and Miyazaki's beautiful clouds and sunlit skies. In spite of my love and respect for Kiki and Totoro, I am almost now convinced that is is Hiyao's finest work, surpassing even Nausicaa!

If you have never seen one of his films, see this one. It is astounding in so many ways, and it may make you want to see more of his amazing creations.

Movie Review: an awesome movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

the movie porco rosso is a great story about a WWI flying ace who after the war became a bountyhunter. the story is more than that though, its filled with romance, actcion,and comedy. all of this is based in a whimsical world that could only be imagined by the great director hayao miyazaki, one of the greatest film makers of our time. this is a really great movie and a must see for the young and young at heart.

Movie Review: Miyazaki shines
Summary: 5 Stars

It is difficult to describe Porco Rosso. It's so different from the rest of Miyazaki's movies. There's no overt environmental theme being rammed down your throat. This is just a great story told well and by a master storyteller. The animation is fantastic, the visuals are superb and this movie has some of the most evicative music I have heard in a long time. This is a must-see movie.
