Princess Mononoke

Pros: Strong story, strong characters, strong themes and some good action.
Cons: The English dub isn't up to scratch.

With Princess Mononoke Director Hayao Miyazaki (S pirited Away) has created a film that is exactly what people were expecting from the movie Final Fantasy (let it be known that I was amazed by ...

Pros: Beautiful and playful non-herky-jerky animation, worthy and involving quest.
Cons: Quest Movie dialogue, with occasional wit/ insight but still.

Princess Mononoke was released in 1997, and was a fairly major hit – the Internet Movie Database ranks it the 118th best-loved movie in their poll. But my wife never heard of it til it showed up in the mail from Netflix (we each get to put...

Pros: Doesn't everyone get tired of doing this?
Cons: NONE

I never met a write-off of Lynus’ that I didn’t like. Even when I try my hardest not to join them – the gravitational pull sucks me in. Needless to say, Lynus is a superstar; so make sure to give him props for hosting this the “Let’s See You...

Pros: Good flow, entertaining story, makes you think.
Cons: No sequel

This was called the Star Wars of Anime. I disagree with that statement. It doesn’t have bad acting or bad writing. It is also set in the Japan of the past. But I agree that this is an action packed anime movie. The Movie is basically about ...

Pros: A totally new and breathtaking myth from the soul of Japan.
Cons: This is animation for adults, primarily; not children.

The Japanese animated film PRINCESS MONONOKE is an archetype unto itself. And a good one it is. It is so very good that I doubt if anything like in the animated genre was ever created on the same level of excellence in the 20th century. Not that...

Pros: Great film with a solid message and beautiful animation.
Cons: The DVD is lacking extras, compared to the R2 version

Surprise world! Welcome to Japan's best kept secret - well, at least at the time, that is. Back in 1999 when Princess Mononoke was released in America, nobody had heard of Hayao Miyazaki, and cartoons were just for kids. Anime was either demon tactical ...

Pros: …
Cons: …

(Note: The content filter on Epinions won’t let me mention the main character’s name, which means I have to use As___aka. I leave it to you to figure out what the missing letters are.) Anime is an underrated genre. I suppose one could say that I ...

Pros: Wonderful Animation. Nice Voice Acting Especially Minnie Driver.
Cons: Some Of The Dialogue Is A Little Lame

Princess Mononoke lives up to the hype. I'll be damned if I'm not in total amazement of this pulchritudinous film. I'll be honest with you folks, I really don't care for Anime. Princess Mononoke isn't just a spectacular...

Pros: The Most Beautiful Animation Ever, Terrific Plot That is Told Wonderfully
Cons: Despite All the Recognition it Recieved in the US, Princess Mononoke Deserves Much More

Anime has never exactly been mainstream anywhere outside of Japan, but a few movies have managed to generate interest outside of the land of the rising sun. If you were to go out and ask random American people on the street if they have ever heard of such ...

Pros: beautiful animation, interesting characters, wonderful story, no simple right and wrong
Cons: nada

Let me just say it up front. Princess Mononoke shows us just what an animated movie can be, and what they so rarely achieve. It's good stuff. The Plot Prince Ashitaka is going around doing whatever it is princes do (apparently ...

Pros: Possibly the greatest animated movie of all time.
Cons: Are you kidding?

Princess Mononoke (1999) Written and Directed by Miyazaki Hayao English Adaptation Neil Gaiman. Ash'taka* (Billy Crudup) is a guardian for his tribe, a hidden people who live in harmony with nature. But when his village is attacked by a ...

Pros: ART, IMAGINATION, STORY, MUSIC
Cons: Not any

PRINCESS MONONOKE, a film animated by Hayao Miyazaki, is a two hour adventure that you should not miss. Recommended to me by my brilliant daughter, I can only regret the time it took for me to acquire this DVD! It is fantastically beautiful, a treat for...

Pros: A thoughtful plot.
Cons: If you are a cynic you may have difficulty.

If you like the story about tiger and dragon you may like this as well. Like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon this movie also spins a fairy tale from the Far East. Only this time it is situated in an ancient Japan at a time when it is still covered with...

Pros: Excellent movie, dub, picture and sound quality; spectacular artwork, character development, and meaningful story.
Cons: Scanty extras, may be too violent and intense for youngsters.

It is difficult for me to select a favorite Miyazaki movie because I happen to be fond of all of them, but if I were to choose, Princess Mononoke would definitely be one lucky candidate. This aesthetically breathtaking, multi-layered epic about ...

Pros: riveting story; wonderful characters; great inspiration; edge-of-your-seat; no easy answers
Cons: animation a little overly "cute" at times

A friend has been threatening to make my fiancee and I watch this movie for a long time now. This weekend he finally managed to strap us to our couches and press "play" on the DVD player before we had a chance to argue that we had work to get done. We're...
