Summary: READ THIS!
Review: As a true anime fan,I wasn't surprised how eager I was to see this movie after hearing so much about it.I fell in love with anime after watching the Japanese DBZ movies,and after hearing how well this movie did in Japan I didn't hesitate to go out and buy the dvd.First of all the english voice over cast sucks.After watching this I'm sure the only word Gillian Anderson can put any emphasis on is "Mulder!".The story starts strong and the character's spreading "infection" seems promising toward a strong ending,But I was dissapointed.If your looking for intense,against the odds action scenes,go elsewhere.There were very few fighting scenes and the character refuses to use his "infection" to fight.If story and art is your thing,go ahead and buy it.The backgrounds and settings really were cool and the story made sense.In the end,it wasn't bad at all.

Summary: Absolutely delicious anime for anybody!
Review: WOW. This is a terrifically mind-blowing film, even if you're not a fan of anime. The characters are well-developed, the plot is complex, and the animation is gorgeous. The only possible complaint is: where is the original Japanese version? Usually I prefer my anime (all foreign films, for that matter) with subtitles, but, try as I may, I haven't succeeded in finding a subtitled-in-English version of Princess Mononoke. But, really, the dubbing is actually rather good. Some casting choices were a little off, such as Claire Danes as the voice of San (please! Who thought of THAT one?), but otherwise, it's just fine. I'd highly recommend this movie for any fan of Miyazaki Hayao (the director) or anime in general. Even if you aren't normally an anime fan, try it anyway. Mononoke does a great job in dispelling the Western myth that "animated movies are just for little kids".

Summary: Superb!
Review: when i first saw all the previews for this i thought it was one of those freaky artsy anime movies. well i was really wrong!. i saw it on tv not too long ago and got hooked right away! i loved the story, characters and music! Better than crouching tiger hidden dragon! the american dubbed version features an all star cast including Claire Danes, Billy Bob Thorton, Gillian Anderson and Minnie Driver. Although many adults would look at this and say, "its a cartoon so its a kid movie" but they are very wrong. infact, this movie contains mature violence and adult language. this movie is aimed toward teenagers and older. well, to sum it up, this movie has a great plot, great cast, and wonderful music. You dont have to be an anime fan to enjoy this!

Summary: Terrible Plot, Great Animation
Review: The plot of this movie is incoherent. The characters are not particularly likeable nor do they inspire the viewer's care, sympathy, or interest. The movie's point is that we are poisoning the earth with our hate, pollution, corruption, greed, deceit, and pride. The animation is good but very unoriginal. How many times have I seen worm like monsters invading human bodies in Japanese animation? It seems like Japanese animation MUST have one of those scenes. It seems the movie creator is trying to spread its shinto/shaministic religious beliefs, which is one of the reason why the movie is so incoherent to the western mind.

Summary: A brilliant movie for anime fans and others alike
Review: Princess Mononoke is a nearly perfect anime, with brilliant visuals, dramatic but not distracting computer graphics, a great story which is not horribly compressed but allowed to unfold naturally in 134 minutes, and amazingly, a very good english version. This is the way every anime should be brought to DVD. An excellent cast of actors was used, although some will complain about how well these actors fit the parts, I think you have to accept that the English actors will have to be somewhat different if you go for big names and this doesn't necessarily make them worse. The script was translated very well and was rewritten in some places to account for cultural differences, resulting in one of the most natural and understandable english versions. The soundtrack to this movie also shines, featuring some simple but beautiful melodies and a mostly western classical score with some integration of eastern instruments. The visuals are the best you will see in an anime released in the US, period. Smooth, vibrant animation, some CG tricks and gorgeous depictions of the nature that the story takes place in. The DVD also has a few extra features: an interview with the cast and the trailer. The English and Japanese versions of the audio also correspond with the video in places where there is text onscreen, so if you pick Japanese audio, you will see the credits in Japanese, etc.

Summary: princess mononke
Review: Although a very good movie I saw it as a subtitled version snd would rate that a much better version, the dubbed is given much less inpact. To those who love amima I would reccommend the undubbed verision much higher the impact is more effective when you hear the actual expressions given by the actual preformers

Summary: More ecological and antihuman sentiment than I can bear
Review: I attempted to enjoy this movie for the animation and voice acting but simply could not because of the glaring antihuman sentiment of the film. All of the human characters in the movie, save for the protagonist, were either portrayed as mindless drone workers or hatred-driven dictators out to destroy the "intrinsic value" of nature. The protagonist was the only human portrayed as a morally good character, mostly because of how she was defensive of nature rather than her own kind. If you have esteem for yourself and others of your own species, you should probably avoid watching this movie; you most likely would not enjoy it.
