As almost all Ghibli movies, this one is also good. I'm going to do a revies explaining my point to why I gave theese rates.
First thing you must know is that this film is based in the story of a real man, named Jiro Horikoshi, he really was an aeronautical engineer and loved doing airplanes so I really indicate to read a little about the guy (before or after the movie) so you can decide if the movie is good or not.
Sound: I was a little disappointed with the soundrack, it isn't much memorable or anything, it is just there, fits the movie but, as it is a Ghibli movie, I couldn't not compare to their other works so maybe I would give a 7 but since it is a Ghibli movie I ended with a: 6
Art: Not much to talk about, the art is amazing as always I love the colors and the movements and well, I'll give it a 10, sorry, I'm a little biased to Ghibli's art.
Story AND character: The story is really good, the plot was perfectly chosen, the movie is enjoyable and you even forget a little they are in WWII, the story as a WHOLE is well developed as you can get the main character childhood until he reaches the top of his carrer. But, and the characters? First I really liked them but then I decided to read a review about the real guy so I could actually know if the movie was loyal to its source, then my overall went down a little. So much they took of in Jiro's development that could have shown much more of the character, things that are a little blury in the movie, I do understand(or believe so) that they did this way so the movie would still be suitable for kids but I'm still sad about it, also -SPOILER- His relation with the girl just happens out of the blue because there is no much development for this, it seemed so rushed and not fitting -SPOILER END- so I'll give story an 8 and Character 7
Enjoyment is 7 because I could really use some more character development and tthe lack of it ended with a little confused me in the end of the movie and Overall 7 because I really enjoyed the movie and recommend it but my head just can't ignore its little "flaws".
