Princess Mononoke

Pros: Strong story, strong characters, strong themes and some good action.

Cons: The English dub isn't up to scratch.

Review: 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: Doesn't everyone get tired of doing this?

Cons: NONE

The Bottom Line: Epinions is stupid - I have to spell Ash*take without the "I"

Review: 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

The Bottom Line: ”It’s about life, love, honesty, sorrow, joy; it’s about being alive.”

Review: 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 Bottom Line: Princess Mononoke is the top-grossing box office hit in Japan. That may tell you something.

Review: 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

The Bottom Line: This is a gorgeous disc, well worth the price.

Review: 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: …

The Bottom Line: …

Review: (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

Review: 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

The Bottom Line: Princess Mononoke Is One of My Favorite Films Ever. If You Haven't Checked It Out Yet, Then Do So Right Now!

Review: 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

The Bottom Line: Frequently said to a contender for the best anime around. I definitely agree.

Review: 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?

The Bottom Line: This is a Masterpiece knowing no boundary of language or age. Every family should watch this movie together.

Review: 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 ...
