"This guy did Spirited Away too..................?" I am at a loss for words on this movie. I saw Spirited Away and could watch it over and over for all the charming characters and animation in that movie. True, there were many interesting creatures and many things that were almost dream-like, BUT, thinking I would get the same type of movie........I hesitantly rented Princess Mononoke. The animation was just not up to par like Spirited Away, and the story was just so hard to make yourself understand that I just had to turn it off 3/4 of the way through. And I really wanted to like this movie too. But its unfair to take anyone's review and make a judgement, just rent this one before you buy it....you might only be out $4 instead of $30. "All-natural superstitious crap!!" Why do people love this human-hating superstitious anime?!! I tried to like this for its animation and artwork but the anti-human pro-nature crap made it terrible to watch. How can animals hate us for hunting them when they kill each other everyday by the thousands? Plus, how can Princess Mononoke hate humans when she's human herself? To top it off, why do more people like this more than Akira? Akira actually had a brilliant story and top-notch animation and artwork minus the superstition. Princess Mononoke and those annoying white tree spirits ought to be mowed down by AK-47 fire!! Ninja Scroll was also aeons better than this crap!! Akira and Ninja Scroll forever Princess Mononoke never!!!! "Beautifully enchanting" I can't say that I'm a huge fan of anime (if that even) but I must admit this film is worth its weight in gold! The story itself is gorgeous, and the animation and music follow. Princess Mononoke is 5 out of 5 stars! (P.S. I'd love to buy one of those little white tree spirits, they're sooo cute!) "stunning" This is just a way-cool movie... It's a fair amount different than most of his other movies - I'd say Castle in the Sky is probably the closest. The artwork is astounding - AMAZING details in the drawings - I wish I had a HiDef TV and a HiDef transfer, but hey, atleast I've got this great DVD! It's a great movie and if you like anime, this is one you should own. "must have" even if you're not an anime fan, i can garenty that you will love this movie |
