I know! I wasn't expecting much from it, to be honest. Pete and Chris both told me that it wasn't supposed to be as good as Miyazaki's previous work (they're both right into anime and manga, so are harsher critics than me at the moment) but, you know... it was really fascinating to see a Japanese interpretation of a European story. Some parts didn't work so well, some were excellent. Overall, I enjoyed it more than Princess Mononoke, which was a classy film itself.
The others?
Chris; "I loved it! I'm going to buy the DVD when it comes out."
Pete: "It was really good, right up until the end. What was with the crap hair on the prince?"
The ending is too pat. Everything else before is sinister, exciting... everything you'd expect from a Miyazaki film.
