    ★★½

    Michael Fassbender is the obvious highlight here. The rest felt a bit half-baked and indecisive. It had the potential to carry on interesting ideas from Prometheus but didn't stick the landing. I was also frustrated by the inability of Scott to decide whether he wanted twists or dramatic irony to guide the story.

    Is a Hattori Hanzo sword really that special if everyone has one?

    Tarantino movies fall into distinct A and B tiers for me (evenly divided out of the 6 I've seen too) -- need to collect my thoughts more to figure out what the difference is.

    A simple but light-hearted romp through Miyazaki's imagination. I definitely wasn't expecting this to be as funny as it was. Definitely a solid entry into the young/middle-adolescent Ghibli movies.
