Summary: Why can't people admit this is a great movie?
Review: Ok, the number one issue that started to get this DVD bad reviews was that there would be no format on the Princess Mononoke disk that would allow the viewer to see the film in its original Japanese form complete with Japanese audio. Well, guess what, it actually does. I wish people would wait to get the FULL details about the special features of a DVD before they bad mouth it all over the internet! It even comes with English subtitles for those who want to hear it in Japanese but still want to read along (an example of that would be me). Next, is there too much violence in the movie or is it too weak? The only true violent scenes are at the beginning of the movie or close to the end. While there are much more gruesome movies, why would anyone want more? Is that how sick society has become. Frankly, I think there is just enough amount of violence to make this movie truely interesting (although, I wouldn't show this to young children, just to protect their own innocence). What is this nonsense about Princess Mononoke being called a "chick flick"? Yeah, sure, you can go see it with your girlfriend, but I wouldn't call it a chick flick. I first saw it with a lot of my friends and we all loved it (for your own information, I am a guy)! This movie is full of action, which I would think any guy would like. The animation is amazing. The plot is well thought out. Plus, it's a little educational. I learned a little about acient Japanese beliefs. I'll admit, the English dubbing could have been better, but then, you always have the original track on the DVD. So I bid the reader of this review "Enjoy! This is a great movie!"

Summary: Great Anime Movie
Review: If people are looking for a great movie, with animation that rivals that of any live action films, this is a great movie for Anime lovers. It is a very touching movie of a young prince who is infested(for lack of better words) with a demon that will slowly take over his body, and kill him. He goes on a quest to see with eyes unclouded by hate and find a cure. This is recomended to people ages 8 and up due to some violent content. The music in this movie is also very touching and just follows the story line completly.

Summary: Perhaps the greatest anime ever
Review: Princess Mononoke is perhaps the best anime to have come out in a long time. Hayao Miyazaki has once again made a masterpiece, much like his acclaimed graphic novel Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Those who critize this film are those who have no appreciation for beautiful animation and a creative plot, which lacks much of the violence that other anime thrives on (there are a few scenes of violence in Mononoke). If you are an anime fan that needs excessive violence and action in an anime, then this is not for you. However, for those who enjoy a movie for its plot and characters as well as its animation, then by all means see this anime. You won't be disappointed, for Miyazaki has put much time and effort in this last epic that he himself has heavily animated.

Summary: Fools who Write Reviews
Review: Look, I notice for all the detracters of this movie, they've hyped up the plot to a point where it's impossible to meet their bloated standards. People who have not watched the movie with a neutral eye should kindly stfu. That being said:Animation was great, action was great, but as for plot and storyline progression, it felt a little slow to me. The movie could be better if it was 20 minutes or so shorter. The english dub version is great (for anime dubs, that is), and the quality of the dub is hard to find in any anime anywhere. It is a far cry from the traditional hyper 12-year old sounding no-namer voices. The DVD (last I checked) provided a Japanese and English language track for those of you die hard sub fans. This is a great movie.

Summary: Disney Eat Your Heart Out!
Review: This is NOT your typical Disney faire.The animation is absolutely breath-taking and the scope of the story is pure imagination.There is a little violence with the beasts of the forest,so this is not a movie for the little ones--but from 8years and up it is a lavish and beautifully illustrated story from a master at Japanese anime".I heartily recommend this film.

Summary: Overhyped, it's not as great as you hear
Review: Mononoke Hime is a childs movie (Ages 5-12) plain and simple. It is not a great movie. The story is about plant-like and animal demons terrorising the humans becuase the humans are abusing the earth (Not a really a bad plot). The story also revolves around some preteen kid and girl. To sum it all up, this movie is boring and dull which is why Disney picked it up. I've been watching anime for years and i'm certainly not some fan who just got off from watching DBZ.

Summary: Lame
Review: Everybody said that this would be the best anime film ever. They were wrong. I thought it was more of a "chick flick" than anything else. I guess it was too built up for me. I was expecting "Akira" or "Fist of the North Star," but it was a far cry from either of those. It was lame.

Summary: Clearly the Best Movie of the 90's
Review: I think that, although the movie is a little gorey, this movie is the best movie of the 90's. I wasn't sure that i wanted to see it at first, mostly because i had never heard of it before, and because it was anime, and i had never chased after anime movies before. Now, looking back, if I hadn't said I would go, I realise that I would be missing so much. The movie is a definate *5*, and anyone with enough guts to stomach a little cartoon violence should seriously see it. Some people said they didn't like it, but the majority said it was an excellent movie, as I do. I am sure you will agree with me (after you see it, because I am insisting that you do)....

Summary: Not DVD, but I saw the movie
Review: I don't have the words to say how much I liked it! Great drawings (not only characters, but the backgrounds too), wonderful, beautiful music. As for the plot it definitely isn't the primitive black&white one - neither "side" of the conflict is 100% bad or 100% "saint". Definitely something to see for people that are fanatically "green", and for people who are just the opposite type of fanatics and ignore the degradation of the environment. As for the DVD release... I see that people at Disney had finally come their senses and included the original Japanese soundtrack.

Summary: Princess Mononoke
Review: This is simply an awesome film. It is the only film I enjoyed so much that I wrote the studio (Studio Ghibli) and thanked them for making it. I'm even now on the lookout for future works by the studio and the movie's creator, Hayao Miyazaki. There is just nothing better out there. This is an amazing tale with beautiful animation and a grand plot. If you haven't seen this I command you stop reading this review and go get a copy.
