I thought Spirited Away (made in 2001) was awful, so much so that I didn't watch anything Miyazaki made after that for years.
I tried The Wind Rises (made in 2013), also found it terrible.
However, before those two films, I had seen several Studio Ghibli's earlier movies and found them pretty good. I thought Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (pre-Ghibli but the same group of people, with director Miyazaki) was absolutely amazing. So my impression is that their earlier films are much better than their newer works.
