A great Miyazaki film. He always knows how to tell a good story. I'd actually recommend this for adults as well. It was greatly entertaining and i was sad when it ended. I always get sucked into his films so fast once they start to get going.
When I first saw the preview for this movie I thought, "Really?" My girlfriend and I went to see it last Friday to a almost empty theater. We both love Jason Statham, and yeah, he plays the same dude in every movie he's in except for a Guy Richie film that I can't type cause this site says it's profanity , but he does such a good job at it, I'm always up for a new flick of his. Go see this movie. It's just testosterone driven fun! Plenty of man meat for the ladies to keep them entertained and lovely ladies and action for the men...and you really end up hating the villain in the movie..she does an excellent job of really making you root for the hero.
