Like kupo, I think the choice of letting Miyazaki jr. direct the movie was very smart and cynical. But, I don't think this means the movie is bad. I think maybe people could be expecting different things. The best thing to do is not having expectations at all, especially expectations involving the "Miyazaki" brand. I'll judge the movie after watching it. I don't think the fact Goro Miyazaki is a newbie is evidence the movie is not good. The choice of the studio is cynical, but the man could be talented and I hope so: I prefer watching a movie with a clear eye and be satisfied later, maybe even surprised, than feeling clever saying "I told you this one was going to suck".
