Can I go out on a limb and say that a number of Miyazaki's movies are over-rated. No? Well, that I'm afraid, was what I was thinking when I got around to seeing this. I'm pleased that, this film at least, transcends my general thoughts on his movies.

Original and fantastically imaginative! I no longer question the appeal of Japanese anime, especially when it's this good.
Another beautiful animation from Hayao Miyazaki. This one is a message film, and the message is one that nice people won't argue with but I found it a little overbearing and long-winded. However, I think this may have been the result of watching it with dubbed English audio. The ...( read more)
San, The Princess Mononoke: It's over, the Forest Spirit is dead now.
Prince Ashitaka: Never. He is life itself. He is here with us now, telling us, it's time for both of us to live.

Visually and aurally gorgeous, thematically dense and poetic, this is one of maestro Miyazaki's best films.
This seems to be Miyazake's most personal work, clearly a serious design. It is set in an imaginary time which blends the time of the ancient gods (Shinto style, gods of place and nature) with the settlement of humans and the coming of metalworking and war. The world is not in ba...( read more)
Princess Mononoke is a great achievement and a wonderful experience, and one of the best films of the year. full review
The movie has a scope that makes Hollywood's homiletic, follow - your - dream fables look even more solipsistic. full review
A windswept pinnacle of its art, Princess Mononoke has the effect of making the average Disney film look like just another toy story.
Great...! This animate appeals the people to treasure and protect the jungle...The animals in this animate were sacrificed their live to protect their 'home'. Nowadays, we can see that, there are a lot of animals are facing extinct. Their habitat destroyed by the selfish people. People cut down the trees for the industrial development....
A Very Spiritual Driven film that I def need to see again and again. Another Miyazaki film that will be a classic. When watching this I def did not expect what I saw. How truly original and visually stunning this turned out to be. I know some out there don't like Anime but I think his films are in a genre by themselves. Def see all of his films you won't be disappointed...
I LOVE THIS MOVIE>> AND THATS IT! ^^ WATCH IT! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
