Okay this was disappointment..


Honestly expected more from the director being hailed as the "next" Miyazaki.
I could see the ambition and the world-building was pretty neat in some parts.
But it was just so pretentious and boring in general.
And I think it stole too much from Miyazaki's films such as Mononoke Hime, Laputa and so on and on.

Oh well, at least Hosoda Mamoru has yet to take a misstep.

It's ok; you can call them Princess Mononoke and Castle in the Sky.

While I do agree this film was not close to Studio Ghibli's masterpieces, I was not disappointed in it.

Can't stop the signal.

It's OK; you can drop the sarcasm.

'Castle in the Sky' is also known as 'Laputa: Castle in the Sky'... Laputa!- just for the record.

Yes. Very good.

Can't stop the signal.

Been a while since I posted but I didn't really see the sarcasm from Caleb...
And I still don't.
