ゲド戦記 - (Ged's War Chronicles) - Tales from Earthsea



Although as one would expect from the Ghibli studios, Earthsea looks fantastic - it has everything you expect it to have; dragons, wizards, magic swords, in fact pretty much every fantasy cliche you can think of. What it doesn't have is any of the warmth that make Ghibli movies, those of Miyazaki Hayao in particular, so special. Maybe it's unfair to judge director Miyazaki Goro by the impressive yardstick of his father, but that aside, there is little that is gripping about this film.
