Another great anime...DO NOT WATCH THE DUB!!! The only thing I found a little lacking was the "everything's all better" ending. But whatever, it's all good.

My favorite Miyazaki movie of all time! Warning though, even though this movie is PG 13 it may have rated R level gore!

Princess Mononoke is the type of movie that starts off fast and never slows down. It has an amazing storyline and not to mention a lot of unique characters with plenty of depth. Also there are a lot of action sequences in it but at the same time there are some beautiful images, so all in all everyone will have a reason to like Princess Mononoke.

Wow, this is one amazing film! A definite must-see for all anime fans! This is seriously unlike anything I have ever seen before. The plot and visuals are AMAZING! A bit violent at parts, but I like that.

One of the best animated films ever made.
Today I finally rented this film, honestly with mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, I'm not a big fan of anime and on the other, I heard good stuff about this. A few minutes into it, My doubts were goners. I knew that it deserved it's praise. The story was good, very good. It had love, it had a little bit of philosophy of nature and a great epic feel aided by the wonderful score andbreath -taking visuals, beautiful visuals. This film is or at least should be an animation classic.
95/100.

  The majestic pageant of images - no sylvan landscape has been this indelibly, dimensionally alive - is inextricably welded to the multifold spiritual / ecological questions about the future that Miyazaki is contemplating.

  Like a lot of anime, it's overlong and gets way too metaphysical at the end, but ultimately, this is a Princess worth worshipping.
