Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Not to bad...

I didnt enjoy this as much as the other Ghibli anime, im not sure what it was that i didnt enjoy, i supose you could say it didnt quite have the sparkle/magical feeling as other Ghibli films. However, its still a very good anime though.

If you buy this, you probably wont be disapointed, but it will also most likely not be on the top of your favourites.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars I don't care what others think.

It's a great movie, not a love story, not a hero's quest. This is bare bones accepting what and who you are, levelling up to the responcibilities that you need to.
It's a great addition to the Ghibli Collection.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Another great hit from Ghibli Studio's

I can't believe people gave this bad reviews, i suppose it's because theirs no gore fest. I found this film thoroughly enjoyable and it's going on my top ten anime movies list, number 2 after howls moving castle. The art work is excellent as usual with a real ghibli studios feel. The great music through out the film really sets the atmosphere. The good characters are very likeable and you'll be cursing the bad guys. And the character who sings (i won't name names) sings really nice, a very moving song to. This is definately worth watching. Fans of ghibli studios won't be disappointed. Well that's all i can think to say.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Worthy to be credited with the Ghibli name.

If you're into Anime, and you like Ghibli, then there's no reason you won't like this offering from Goro Miyazaki... Artistically brilliant with a decent plot... Nothing to NOT like really... Can't be compared to the likes of Princess Mononoke, but should be credited as a stand alone first outing from an up and coming talent. Loved it.

Visually, like most of Studio Ghibli collection.
It is awesome!
the plot on the other hand, is here there and everywhere!
3*'s Is Definately pushing it!
And The Poster is on the small side!

Being a fan of pretty much every Studio Ghibli movie to date this was a instant buy for me, as usual it did not disapoint.
Though it is a huge leap from other Studio Ghibli movies but thats mostly due to the fact it's based off a novel rather then a original story, so already it's like they've had to keep the story locked in a room.
Around about halfway through the film there is a song that is incredibly touching and was brilliantly drawn too.
Also i would like to point out that the English dub like all the other Studio Ghibli movies was utterly fantastic.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars My 2p

Personally I thought this was a great movie if you watch it for what it is. It is merely "inspired by" the books, it doesn't necessarily portray them. I find it saddening that people have to compare this debut from Goro Miyazaki to his fathers work. Goro is not (and probably doesn't want to be) just like his father and therefor his work will probably always be different. We must also bear in mind that this is just a debut and Goro is nowhere near as experienced as his father. Like I said, try to watch the film for what it is and try not to compare it to anything else, and then make your judgements.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Good

I found film this ok. it wasnt the best studio Ghibli film and i dont think that Goro Miyazaki can fill his fathers shoes, as his films are far better!

i'll admit that it was heartwarming but it didnt have the best plot but i did enjoy it.But comparing it to his fathers films it is disappointing.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Not Perfect, but definitely deserves a look!

My review is an encompassment of what I think in relation to the film and to what I have read in other "Tales From Earthsea" reviews.

1. A fantastic film to watch. For regular Studio Ghibli watchers, this is not disappointing and I think we have much to look forward to from Goro Miyazaki. Although I didn't enjoy it as much as say Howl's Moving Castle or Princess Mononoke, I would definitely put it somewhere in the top 5 Studio Ghibli films.

2. I have not read the book, so I cannot judge how close the film was to the novel. However, from looking at other reviews, it appears that the film was not as loyal as it could have been. I know how irritating this can be due to the Harry Potter films, but I think it is important to step back from the novel, and think of the film by itself. It does have a fascinating story, with my only complaint being that dragons did not feature as heavily as I would have hoped!

3. Like most of the Studio Ghibli films, things are left unanswered which can be annoying for eager fans, and the rather abrupt finish can increase your feeling that there is still a little more to tell. Having said that, we are left with a satisfying conclusion to the main plot.

In summary: An essential for Studio Ghibli lovers. Perhaps a little disappointing for fans of the book, but all in all, a good film that I would definitely recommend.

Customer rating: 1 out of 5 stars Such a travesty

The film does no justice, and bears little resemblance, to any of the Earthsea books by Ursula K. Le Guin even if Studio Ghibli have worked their magnificent animation skills on it. 2 out of 10, could do a lot better. In my opinion if you wish to see Studio Ghibli at its best in an inventive, if highly improbable, storyline then I can strongly recommend "Porco Rosso"
