 "All I can say is.... AMAZING"This HAS to be the best anime movie I've every seen! Miyazaki is a GENIUS! This movie is very fun to watch, but it also relates to the world around us. It's about people trying to destroy nature for their own benefit and others fighting against it. It's a struggle that goes on in the real world, and Miyazaki really knew how to portray that struggle. This movie is so wonderful and breathtaking that immediately after I finished watching it I just wanted to see it again! It's perfectly animated and all around WONDERFUL. This is a must for any anime collection, along with other Miyazaki movies. He is a wonderful anime artist! "Fun to watch each time"This movie means something special to me. It first kicked off my anime mania when I saw it released in theators back in middle school. Upon buying it 2 years ago, I continue to watch it every now and then and each time is special and I learn something each time. I have also watched this with my family and friends who enjoyed this film, despite it being anime, alot. As well, the soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous much like Miyazaki's lush enviroments, storytelling, and characters. A masterpiece. "Simply Amazing"I love this movie and have watched it ten times. Each time I learn more from it and I think this is one of the geatest animes of all time. I may only be 13, but I understand the concept of the movie. I like how the characters arn't evil or good. It tells one messege: Don't misuse nature and it's resources. At least that's what I think ^-^ I+I Moro I+I  "Okay, but treading on THIN ice"The movie itself was okay. I have no problems with the plot line, story, characters, or animation. Although I'd have to say I don't agree with people that say this is Hayao Miyazaki's best work, and I've seen every one of his movies except Nausicaa. I think the gore, violence, and blood make this movie pretty disturbing and I think the world of movies should make a rating in between PG-13 and R and put Princess Mononoke in that catagory. I'm 13 and wasn't too impressed. I have some friends who are 13 and would find this movie VERY disturbing. It's not bad enough for R but I think you should be cautious with teens under 15. Now don't get me wrong, it WAS a good movie, and I LOVE anime, but I just had a little trouble getting past the gore and blood. This is one of those movies that has potential but it just didn't quite get there. Oh, and did I mention how incredibly LONG it was? I mean after the first half I started yelling at the TV "Get on with it already! We get the point now let's add some PLOT and move FORWARD!!!" Truely, it get monotonous. Okay, enough of my rants. Overall it was an okay movie. Not recomended for younger kids/teens. And if you want to watch a wholesome Hayao Miyazaki movie with the family, go for Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, and Spirited Away. "Definetly not as good as I expected..."Princess Mononoke is a really popular movie... just see all the positive reviews about it! I rented this movie, then recieved it as a gift from a friend. The story itself is good... although, I was not very impressed and for me, it "dragged" alot. It is kinda scary for the younger ones I would say... and for me, it wasn't that great at all like I said. I rather not give the story away so I won't say to much but... I would not spend my money on it. I would buy it if I were you first... as with any movie, that is how personally I do it. |
