Great movie with a lot of depth. It has points of fast pace, plane chases and then peaceful lulls with lovely music. It's serious at times and silly at others. The ending is a little ambiguous. Overall, an enjoyable little watch.

I tried watching it the first time 30 years ago when the movie came out, and I didn't like it. After all these years, I tried to watch it again, I still could not get into it and I found it boring....

This movie is about a pig named Porco Rosso who was a former World War 1 pilot and was an ace pilot. The movie takes place in the country Italy in the 1930s where sky pirates rode biplanes and would steal from rich cruise ships across the…

I had listed this film to watch because of the reputation of the studio; I was a bit disappointed. The film is okay; the characters lack individuality - they are just cutouts, the plot is a little ridiculous, and there is no magic it,…

I have been watching this movie for more than 15 years and would not get tired of it -- from the venerable VHS to DVD to blu-ray. This was originally developed for JAL's in-flight service so obviously it involves a lot of flying. This…

This was a good film, it's not my favorite Hayao Miyazaki movie but the characters were interesting and there were a lot of funny moments. The ending though was what disappointed me, I think it could have been better but the other parts…

Studio Ghibli has turned out yet another winning combination of old school animation and slightly outlandish storyline with a few piercing observations thrown in for good measure. This time around Miyazaki sets his sights on male…

Fine Miyazaki semi-realistic action fantasy featuring memorably beautiful animated flying over the Mediterranean Sea. Only the final extended John Wayne style fist fight disappoints. Well worth watching if the story description seems at…

Porco Roso has such an elegant storyline and the cast is incredibly colourful. It's filled to the brim with whimsy and comedy.

This movie was hilarious and touching. The story was great, and the scenery was amazing with so much detail. It was truly amazing, especially the animation, considering the time it was animated. The movie is about a depressed pilot who…

I liked the animation and story for this film. although micheal keaton is a good choice as porco, the french cast has jean reno as our hero and he is superb.

Another great classic Hayao Miyazaki movie (studio ghibli). This one is about air pirates in the Mediterranean. For some reason the main character is a pig which is only sort of explained but that adds to a lot of the charm in how her…

Beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean, and a touching story of an adventurous but depressed pilot. The story kept us glued. Can he be brought back to happiness with a kiss? Several women are involved.

A very different kind of film from Miyazaki. This is an adventure/romance that takes place in Italy featuring pre-World War II pilots and airplanes, a plucky young woman (as always) and a hero flyer who has been transformed into a pig.…

A light adventure with hidden depth. Porco's greatest challenge is an internal one, so the resolution has to be implied rather than stated outright. It was subtle, and I liked it a lot.

First Miyazaki movie I watched without a nicely summed up ending.sniff. :(

You know how it is when you go to a movie with high expectations and are all set to see something very enjoyable but, twenty minutes into it, you turn to your companion and whisper, “Ah… this film is doing nothing for me.” When the reply…

This movie wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Hayou Miyazaki disappointed me on this one, because not very much happened, and the ending wasn't quite clear.

Porco Rosso has got some challenges and it makes for a situation with a complicated solution.
