I saw Porco Rosso and it is the worst Hayao Miyazaki film I have seen.
It has no plot, no over arching goal to strive for, and it has no tension. It's just a series of events. Porco gets shot down by a pompous guy who wants to be famous. Porco go and gets his plane fixed (+ gets an co pilot). This costs much and he is now in debt. Pompous guy falls in love with co pilot. They make a bet: if pompous guy win he gets the co pilot, if Porco win pompous guys pays the debt. Porco wins. The end.
It isn't about Porco trying to find a cure to him being a pig. It isn't about the potential love between Porco and the bar owner. And it isn't about the military coming to shot down the air pirates. It's just series of events.
There is no tension. The debt is to Porco's friend, not to some mafia boss. Pompous guy isn't a nemesis type just pompous.
It has some beautiful moments, but all in all it has all the worst aspects of Miyazaki's film making put to a single film.
