    Every time I rewatch this film it's just more clear that it is the best super hero movie of all time.

    Honourable mentions: Logan, The Dark Knight, Spiderman 2 and The Incredibles

    ★★★★

    This is one of those rare fantasy films that has no discernible plot throughout about half the runtime—leaving a mystery what conflict will drive the 3rd act.

    Instead, the film lets you bask in warm and wonderful characters set off by a beautiful atmosphere typical of Miyazaki’s films.

    And then the plot comes barrelling in from nowhere like a catbus (watch the film) for the 3rd act, exploiting your emotions to their limits because of the previous investment in characters.
