I absolutely wanted to love this film, but even with tons of things to like, I don't feel the heart, blood and sweat that usually seem to go into Ghibli movies. It felt by-the-books, pleasure-less, unexciting. I was bored.

Speaking as a person who enjoys engineering feats and especially those related to aviation, I was sure I was going to love _The Wind Rises_. After loving the planes in _Porco Rosso_, my first Studio Ghibli's movie and my favorite so far, I had confidence in Miyazaki ability to portray what goes More
