Summary: One of the Best Anime Films of All Time.
Review: Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke) is by far one of the best anime films of all time. The animation is simply beautiful and the story is great. I would definately recommend this movie to anyone who is just getting into Anime, or who just wants to see a good movie for that matter.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good manga film.
Review: It is brilliant. I would recomend it to fans that like dragon ball Z. It is a really good story. I would recomend it to people 12 and over. The violence would scare kids under 9.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's a good story, but not enough to keep me thrilled
Review: Princess Mononoke is one of those Animes that most people would enjoy, and with good reason. There is an excellent story, fluid animation, good voice acting (most of the titme) and a little bit of everything to keep people happy. However it is not perfect.

The story itself revolves around Ashika who after his village is attacked by a demon he is thrown out and forced to find a cure for his curse. After escaping from an army of Samurais he arrives in Irontown, where they make guns and use iron as a source for everything. Irontown is constantly under attack by Princess Mononke who represents the wolf tribe. Eventually soem hunters show up representing the emporor who wants the head of the Forest Spririt so he can achieve Immortality. From there we have many more battles and a kick [bootie] ending.

However there are a few problems. For one thing the voice acting, despite being good, seemed to fluctuate at times from good, to ok, and sometimes pretty poor. Also the story itself will turn of the average viewer or how it ends (kind of like Final Fantasy Spirits Within). other than those two things though this is overall a very good movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Monoke is sure to make anime fan happy
Review: PM is one of Hayao Miyazaki's best films. I am a real big fan of his works. PM has beautiful animation, pre-rendered backgrounds and characters. To add to that, both the Eng. and JP voice acting are excellent. PM is a MUST for every anime fan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great anime
Review: Princess Mononoke was one of the first anime I've seen, and is still one of the best! The plot is original, interesting, and does not follow the "fantasy formula." The voices (Billy Crudup, Claire Daines, Billy Bob Thorton, etc) fit the characters perfectly, unlike several animes I have seen (Serena in Sailor Moon...). The music in Princess Mononoke, composed by Joe Hisaishi, is astouding; I also recommend the soundtrack. The reason why I gave it four stars instead of five is because I thought the ending was rather rushed and could have been better. Overall, Princess Mononoke is definitley an anime worth watching.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest Anime so far!
Review: This has got to be the greatest full-length Anime movie ever. I watched it three times in a row. But, I have a few problems with it, #1 Is it just me, or is it kind of hard to hear most of the animal gods when they talk? #2 I really wish they made a special edition DVD, I need more extras! Were's the commentary's? Why isn't there a behind the scenes, (The Featurette doesn't do anything) And #3, Why wasn't it nominated for anything? Oh well, it's still a great movie, and if you know me, I reccommend watching this late at night.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: pretty good not great
Review: I bought this because I had heard so much about it, that it was the best selling movie ever in Japan, etc. etc. While it definitely was interesting, I was a bit disappointed. There are many beautiful scenes, and the plot is set out in a very promising way, but then the movie sort of loses direction and drags on way too long. Also I felt there was a lot of gratuitous violence (I mean stuff that was really not necessary to the plot, and that kind of grossed me out, even more than a "live" R rated movie)
Anyway, it WAS worth seeing, I just felt it didn't live up to all the rave reviews I've read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wondeful
Review: This movie had made me a very different person since I brought this video. It was love, differents, hope, and a violent but challaanging story. A very beautiful fore told story ^_^

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Princess Mononoke
Review: Beautiful movie. Superb graphic and soundtrack. Classic fairytale in an unconventional style. There is always movement, and in the slow parts, it's setting the story. Excellent buy.

Rating: 4 stars
