Howl’s Moving Castle

After looking up Christian Bale’s IMDB i came by Howl’s Moving Castle, it only had Japanese audio until i found the English dub which Bale did the voice-over for. It’s an anime film with an interesting love story. Allot of plot holes, and it felt like the film should of had a more descriptive prequel to it. The story wasn’t very impressive. I don’t watch allot of anime films but this wasn’t any good.

The story is about a young a girl Sophie who gets cursed by a witch. The curse makes her become older and elderly. She sets off to find the Witch but ends up @ Howl’s castle where she becomes a care taker. It’s very slow and drawing; very little momentum in this story. Little to no surprises; and the war was honestly pointless. Even the characters in the film admit it; but the fact that it took up almost 60% of the screen time was unbearable. With anime you can do just about anything; but the random magical lights going around them was too random for me. All in all poor story telling; and a riddled plot all sewn together with a craptacular narrative makes this a very bland film.
