As long as Goro doesn't make any more movies...
His own son sucks?
Well first of all his son didn't even want to go into animation. He only did so cause he knew he was going to get a ton of notoriety for being Hayao Miyazaki's son.
Second, yea. My friend told me he watched Tales of Earthsea even though he was told it had a big negative reception just for the fact it was Miyazaki's son and said it sucked.
But since you don't know him, take Wikipedia's word for it:
Le Guin's mixed opinion of the film is indicative of the overall reception of the film, particularly in Japan. In Japan, the film found both strong proponents and detractors. Many of the opinions can best be summed up in a response to Le Guin's comments on her website, that the weak points of the film were the result of "when too much responsibility was shouldered by someone not equipped for it".
The critical reception in Japan was also very mixed. By the end of the year of its release, Tales from Earthsea was awarded "Worst Movie" in the Bunshun Raspberry Awards, with director Goro Miyazaki being given the "Worst Director" award.
As of June 2013, Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer shows a rating of 42%.
