I watched this movie late one night because I thought it would be a cheesy 90's romance I could laugh at. Instead the movie pulled me in, effectively mixing humor, romance and fantasy . Alec Baldwin really brought it in the kitchen scene where he thinks for a moment that Rita is back.
I think I had this movie too hyped up by the time I watched it. It was definitely interesting, the city was beautiful but there was definitely a lot of room for improvement. I watched the directors cut, and then watched some of the theatrical version. I could not believe the narration at the beginning! I definitely suggest watching the directors cut for your first viewing if you haven't watched it yet.
I just watched this movie for the first time last night. I never knew how sexist it is... every female character is pitted against each other because of... a boy. The only two that aren't are Nana the dog, and the mother (I can't remember her name). That's just one of many problems... other than that, it was pretty looking.
I thought it was quite good, but the ending seemed a bit tacked on. It could've ended with Kousuke and Yuri on the bike I think. Besides that it was pretty great, though in my opinion a few scenes could've been edited down a bit.
yeah this was pretty much a re-enactment of the first movie... but it was still funny, and the whole spaceship angle was just absurd but in a good way.
Yes, this movie was nothing great. It does have some merit for being the first animated/childrens movie (that I can recall) that recognized children growing up without a father, a mother that can't always be there because she has to work, in poverty, and not-white.
Loved this movie as a kid, the mystery, the intrigue!!
Also, I loved that it wasn't some prissy princess flick, Basil was an abrasive hero, and he always got his man, er, rat!
The animation is great, first of all. After watching the movie, I was a bit stunned, and definitely confused. After re-watching it I began to piece it together. It definitely has you questioning what is 'real' or not in the movie. Such a mind-bender!

This is one of the worst movies I've seen in some time. A huge budget blown on costumes and show- boat "storytelling", just terrible.Movie comment on Congo
