It's difficult not to critically compare Goro's work to his father's... so, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
The approach to the nature of people within Goro Miyazaki's work differs (almost as a complete opposite), in comparison to Hayao Miyazaki's films. In Tales from Earthsea, the world feels a lot more pessimistic. People are inherently bad, with good souls being the outlier -- in stark contrast to Hayao's philosophy in his films.
It's not worse; just different.
My girlfriend…
While I did see this as a middle-of-the-road music biopic (and I don't think anything was shot particularly beautifully) I really loved the quality of how the film itself looked. Finding out that the film was shot digitally was a big surprise, because of this. Great compositing job, I think!
I appreciated how the film took an unbiased approach, in regards to showing what a complete wank Bob Dylan is. I love his music; but he treats his fans and…
The bits where you see the Cocaine Bear are fun to watch. They should make a movie where it's mostly a Cocaine Bear on screen and call it Cocaine Bear.
Porn writers make characters more engaging than this.
For this to be boring was a crime. The movie is so bad, it actually offends me. How was a movie about a bear on coke boring?

While incredibly influential and culturally enduring, unsurprisingly, a 1922 horror film does not hold up to today's modern psychological standards.
Myself and my girlfriend were giggling at things that (at the time) were likely frightening to audiences. Now, that we know the inner workings of how films are made, a lot of the effects seemed goofy and silly (along with the silent performances; that were pantomime-quality (again, by today's standards)).
This is not to say I didn't enjoy the film…
