Summary: Great Movie
Review: This movie is a masterpiece, beautiful animation and compelling storyline. I'd recommend it to any anime fan or anyone who is interested in the Japanese culture. I feel that this film has been sadly overlooked because it's just dismissed as kid's stuff. I've heard complaints from parents about the film's violence, but that problem could have been solved by looking at the PG-13 label on the DVD. Even though the film comes close to 3 hours, that's the way Japanese story telling is. The reason why I recommended this to anyone interested in the Japanese culture is that they know that the Japanese like long drawn out stories and us Americans want the movie to get to the point. This movie also has a lot of symbolism so watch out for that. This movie was so moving that I actually cried at the end. This is a must-see...

Summary: Disappointing english version
Review: I have not seen (heard) the Japanese version, not that I would understand it, but I'm sure it must be better than the english version. I agree with those who consider some of the voice acting to be out of place. The accents do sound strange and often the characters shout their lines which seems very contrived, awkward and unnecessary. The producers should have eschewed big name movie and television stars in favor of genuine professional voice actors. But often, the english version of the script is at fault. Many of the character's lines are downright corny. Indeed, the entire movie is excessively melodramatic, causing me to almost cringe. For instance, the scene where wolf girl has to chew the food for the hero is really too much. Like I said, the Japanese version is probably much better but I suspect the plot is still too convoluted. I think they tried to do too much with the story to its overall detriment. Overall I found the film disappointing and would not recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A sophisticated and intelligient annimation
Review: The genius behing Pincess Mononoke, combines the legends and myths of the forest and brings it to the reality. Fill with emotion and sphistication, the art is extremely incridible. I couldn't believe it was all that when I bought it. I would recomend this movie to anyone out there who likes myths and tales of the forest and also for those who never heard of some of the tales of the forest. This movie would bring u a little closer to what you been missing out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great anime film of complexity
Review: Although this is a great film I must say this is NOT Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece he made that 12 years ago with a film called "GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES" which ROGER EBERT placed in his top 100 FILMS OF ALL TIME. It's moving beyond words, The film will show MIYAZAKI achieve perfection and show how far great cinema can soar. "A LANDMARK FILM IN ANIMATION HANDS DOWN".

Summary: An excelent movie!!!
Review: This movie represent the beauty of anime along with a few other like Ghost in the Shell,Laputa,Ninja Scroll and Street FighterII.This anime is really one for you to see,it is beautifully made with a very fitting plot,music,voices and animation.When I first watched this one I was totally amazed with the hard work that these people had to make to create such a beautiful work.Rumors says that DISNEY didn't want to register this one under its name,don't ask me why but they are the one who are messing it.This anime is better than all the silly things that DISNEY can make in its whole life.If you really want to experience the true feeling of watching a pretty good anime now you really need to buy this one.10 stars for it if it's possible!!!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Good but long movie
Review: The sound track was originally what got me to watch this movie. {I'm in fact listening to it now} The music has a touch to it that has both combat feeling and that shivering feeling you get when your character is in serious trouble or in such a tremendous situation.

I liked the animation and the story was pretty good. They did seem to drag it on a little bit in the end, but overall I'd recommend getting this on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent, Pure Genius, Wonderful
Review: I have one thing to say to the naysayers...

You do not know what real anime is until you enjoy the spectacular backgrounds in this.

Many of them look like they're real, and I can assure you that you cannot come CLOSE to drawing something as spectacular as those.

Now, about the rest of the movie. A wonderful plot-line based loosely on Japanese mythology. The characters are well-written and have some very excellent dialogue. Some of the voices were the wrong choices, but that's what happens when you dub it. Everything about this movie is nearly perfect, and I cannot give this enough praise. Its worth well more than 5 stars on a 5-star scale. Its easily worth 10 stars on the 5-star scale.

Miazaki (not sure if that's the correct spelling) is a genius. Give that man what he wants.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cool Movie!
Review: In this movie you see the struggle of a young man who needs to find the nightwalker. The nightwalker is the only thing that can heal him of a wound he got from battling a demon. This movie is his adventures of him trying to save himself. I recommend this movie!
