Summary: Just don't look too deep
Review: After reading all these great reviews about the movie, I decided to give it a go, and I have no idea how it garnered so much praise. It's got vivid colors and generally good animation, but the theme of technology encroaching upon old traditions is nothing new, except this time they had talking pigs and cute little forest spirits, which kind of reminds me of Fern Gully, and in many ways this movie is like a Disney movie. The characters do not develop except in the most cliched of ways: the main character is your typical do-gooder hero type and really doesn't grow throughout the movie, and the villainous village leader realizes the error of her ways after a catastrophic loss...blah blah blah. What's worse is that it seems like the makers couldn't decide whether they wanted to make this a family film or an action anime flick, resulting in some strangely comical action scenes where heads fly in the air but no blood comes out. Despite its shortcomings, I'm giving it three stars because it's fairly entertaining if you are just looking for something fun and simple to watch for 2 hours. If you're looking for anime that'll leave you overwhelmed with emotion, try the Evangelion series instead.

Summary: One of the best!
Review: This is good anime... There are no other words to describe it. The music is one of the best I've heard, and the plot's cool too.

Summary: Applause! A great movie, even if you don't like annime.
Review: This was one of the first annimes I bought. This movie was highly recomended and I see why. The mixture or combat sequences, crystal clear annimation and the excellent music composition made this an excellent movie.I watched this with my parents (who hate annime) and they ended up loving it. They also loved the music and beautiful annimation. I loved the way they introduced the shoulder-mounted riffles. I thought that was amusing when the sword-happy samarais tried to take on the rifflemen. I'm a big fan of riffles so I love it when they have swordsman square off against rifflemen. The overall aspect of annimation was top notch. Well done annimation and I loved the forest background. Even my parents were impressed with that. The character developement was great. They explained everything without boring you to death. Some annimes I've seen have put me to sleep while they explain everything. I though the lady's bodyguard with the oversized 'bent' sword was hilarious. He always got the short end of the stick. But my favorite part was the music. I loved it, I bought the soundtrack and I play it all the time. It mixes perfectly with the story and plot. I can see why this movie made it in theatres. Overall, worth buying not matter what movies you like. I recomend watching even if you don't like annime. If my redneck parents can enjoy it, so can you.

Summary: Amazing Movie!!!
Review: This is an amazing anime!!! The animation is wonderfull and the dubbing is really good(which really is amazing!). Although if your a parent buying this for your child make sure your ok with them seeing PG-13 movies because this is definitly not a movie for a little 7-8 year old child who watches Sailor Moon/ Dragon Ball Z on cartoon network. The violence and gore would give your kid nightmares. On the other hand this is a really good action/drama movie spins a haunting tale that you dont want to end. The movie has everything! Action, drama, GREAT GHRAPHICS, and yes.. even a love story.(kind of like Spider-Man! Another really good movie!!) Anyway.. this is a must see movie. Anime fan or not...Just make sure you see it!!!

Summary: Hayao Miyazaki strikes again!!!
Review: The greatest anime film (in my opinion) of all time! Mononoke Hime!!! ^^ About the princess Mononoke, raised by wolves in a rural 14th century Japan. I look forward to Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited away and Laputa: Castle in the Sky as well! If you love anime, please see this one, it will keep you on the edge of your seat to the cutting end with blooded war scenes, gigantic animal gods and the one who may be able to bring peace to it all!

Summary: Wow.
Review: I have my own personal reasons for being iffy about anime. But I couldn't help but watch this movie about five times after I first discovered it! "Princess Mononoke" is disturbing, complex, original, weird, and beautiful--and worth watching just for Keith "Goliath" David's sonorous voice (dubbed version) in several roles.

Summary: Wow!
Review: This anime is truly amazing. I have rented three times from Blockbuster, and plan on buying the DVD as soon as possible. The plot is well developed, the visual aspect of it is amazing! I genuinly recommend this breathtaking movie if you are into anime or not! (and I recommend for all those otakus to bring in the non-believers with this movie! You will have them hooked, I promise!) It is worth the thirty bucks, I swear. You will watch it again and again! I was impressed with the dubbing. Very well done. The voices match the characters, the songs are beautiful. (I, personally, like the ending song in the English version better than the one in the Japanese version. The English voice is somehow more to my liking.) Overall one of the best movies I have ever seen. (Non-anime and anime alike)

Summary: A "Junglebook" which _does_ capture the magic.
Review: I trust most of you have seen the animation Junglebook made by Disney which, on its own, captures a certain magic. The thrill of being in the jungle and all. If you, like me, have also _read_ the Junglebook then you may not like the movie at all when comparing it with the cartoon Disney produced. It simply didn't capture half of the magic which is in there, although it was entertaining; don't get me wrong here... Princess Mononoke can, in some ways (no, not just the wolves ;)), be compared with the Junglebook... Its a story which completely focuses on the forces of Nature. Enter a time where gods and demons roam the land.. In this era there are those who live in simple harmony with nature but there are also those who chose to meet it in battle. And a battle it is, against the gods of Nature themselves. But are these people really evil or simply protecting their own interest ? When following the main character(s) in this movie you will find out and like many will be thrilled by the extreme detail of the animation. If you want some great names in Anime then this title simply can't be left out of your collection. In my opinion this film is right amongst the ranks of Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Grave of the Fireflies. When running in the cinemas in Japan this movie was only topped by Titanic and I think that says quite a lot. A must have.

Summary: Excellent Anime Movie with Excellent Music
Review: I saw this movie a long time ago, sadly only once, so I don't remember much on the movie itself, but I do remember my emotions and reactions while I was seeing the movie and after I saw it. This movie is a true masterpiece, the animation is beautiful and the music is breathtaking. Mononoke Hime (hime= princess) is not recommended for younger viewers, mostly because of the violence and blood, but you can buy it using that excuse (buying it for your children or sibling ^_~) because I'm sure you'll end up liking it.
