Is this product review positive? Title: Horrible! Review: When I watched this for the first time on STARS(Ok,ok. So I didn't buy the DVD.Big deal) I was VERY disapointed. When I heard about it and people were like, "Watch the most popular Japanimation(Uggh!I HATE that word!)movie in America! It is just so perfect, I thought,cool! I'll have to watch it then!So I waited...and waited...and waited for weeks to watch Princess Mononoke and when I FINALLY got to see it,I relized that,to me, it was of the most boring movies I have ever watched! I didn't even watch the whole thing!So please people, don't get this movie! Rent this first if you must see it! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A warning.... Review: For the love of god do not buy this movie. I cannot stress that point well enough. While I understand how the fantasy elements may have wooed other reviewers, for me, this movie ended my fascination with Japanime. From the mindless plot to the super-environmentalist charachters this movie is a dud all the way through. If you rent or buy Japanime looking for action and violence, (things that I am sure many people think of when they hear "Japanime") not a sappy plot and some of the most insipid ideas ever, you should stay away from this movie. But, if you're looking for something that really is that laden with mystique and faeries and other annoying pieces of fantasy lore, buy this movie. So, let's recap shall we? If you like action, like me, this is the most God-Awful creation ever to find its way into your VCR. If you like fantasy, i'm sure you'll love this. Just a warning. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: can u get any more blood in this movie?? Review: the artwork was spectacular, but the story was lacking and the violence was terrible even for an animated movie. it even scared my 18 yr old sister who has seen R rated movies! the story anyway was stupid, and they just have too much blood!!! it makes me cringe at the sight of this movie! seeing people get their arms and heads chopped off with much graphic gore. and this one animal had blood spewing out of its mouth and nose! crud this movie is too focused on blood and has no good moral. i wouldnt suggest this movie for anyone and discourage people watching this movie for it has no good moral on right or wrong Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Overhyped, it's not as great as you hear Review: Mononoke Hime is a childs movie (Ages 5-12) plain and simple. It is not a great movie. The story is about plant-like and animal demons terrorising the humans becuase the humans are abusing the earth (Not a really a bad plot). The story also revolves around some preteen kid and girl. To sum it all up, this movie is boring and dull which is why Disney picked it up. I've been watching anime for years and i'm certainly not some fan who just got off from watching DBZ. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Vomit inducing Review: This movie totally grossed me out. It shows giant ugly pigs with boils and pus on their body infecting the hero. Lots of vomit inducing scenes and offensive scenes where people worship the slimy pigs. Don't listen to the hype. Skip this one. For good anime, check out "Ninja Scroll" or "Ghost in the shell". Both include adult and provacative content, but they did not make me puke my lunch. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN Review: This is the worst movie I have seen. The story is way confusing I could not understand it. And so gory! If I tell you on this review I will probley get in trouble. I guess this would have been a good moview if it was not gory but it got in the way of things and it took my mind off of the story. I would not suggest this for young kids. Even young teens this is 2 gory!I hope this helps Answer:
No

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: I wish I hadn't bought this Review: I was intrigued by the effusive praise that so many ... heaped upon this movie, and I thought to myself "Wow, this sounds incredible - I'd better check this out."However, this film ...It's way, way too overlong. It comes in at about 2 hrs 20 mins, yet so much of the movie is painfully repetitious that this could easily have been trimmed to 80 mins. The American voice-overs are AWFUL. Minnie Driver is passable, but every other actor makes it sound like a school play. They're hammier than a side of pig. I can't believe anime has evolved so little since "Akira". Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Definetly not as good as I expected... Review: Princess Mononoke is a really popular movie... just see all the positive reviews about it! I rented this movie, then recieved it as a gift from a friend. The story itself is good... although, I was not very impressed and for me, it "dragged" alot. It is kinda scary for the younger ones I would say... and for me, it wasn't that great at all like I said. I rather not give the story away so I won't say to much but... I would not spend my money on it. I would buy it if I were you first... as with any movie, that is how personally I do it. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Epic? I think not. Review: When I first heard about this movie I was very interested in seeing it. Namely because everyone was telling me how epic it was. Well I consider myself a huge anime fan so I wanted to check it out. What I found was however was a movie riddled with enladen old messages like "women's rights" and "peace making skills". This DVD might have been made in Japan, but its messages are fully American-which makes it absolutely boring. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Terrible Plot, Great Animation Review: The plot of this movie is incoherent. The characters are not particularly likeable nor do they inspire the viewer's care, sympathy, or interest. The movie's point is that we are poisoning the earth with our hate, pollution, corruption, greed, deceit, and pride.The animation is good but very unoriginal. How many times have I seen worm like monsters invading human bodies in Japanese animation? It seems like Japanese animation MUST have one of those scenes.It seems the movie creator is trying to spread its shinto/shaministic religious beliefs, which is one of the reason why the movie is so incoherent to the western mind. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A new landmark in the world of animated movies Review: My standards for animated films have certainly been raised after watching this. I saw the English version of this in theatre, and almost every single aspect of this movie was astounding.When it was translated, the lip-syncing was completely re-done, and quite a bit was done to ensure the "meaning" was preserved (See their web site for details)The artwork is simply amazing, the story is an instant classic. This is definately the best animated movie I've ever seen. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: An incredible display of Anime! Review: This movie is amazing! It has the best animation I have ever seen. Period. When it was playing in my city, I enjoyed it so much that I went to see it twice in the same week. The story is complex and entertaining. The English dub isn't bad, in fact, compared to most Anime, its quite good. However I'm still really hope that the DVD release has a subtitled version as well as the dubbed version, and that they keep it in widescreen (most DVDs are pretty good about that). Anyway, thats about it...if you get a chance to see this movie...don't pass it up. You won't be disapointed! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Want good anime?Don't watch this Review: Sure,a nice cartoon to get people happy but this is not the most greatest movie...I love anime just as much as the next person but i can rate what i want:[Looking for a movie that has action,not puke ugly violence,and a nice plot...SEE POKEMON FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!Digimon too:)Or any other anime tooooo(i don't really know a whole bunch of anime movies)Mabye sooner or later there will be a gundam wing movie,a dbz movie,a cardcaptor movie or even yu-gi-oh! movie(yes,i like that show with some kid and others who battle with duel monster cards.Reminds me of the days when i used to battle with pokemon cards...I still would but no one around to) Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Princess Mononoke Review: This movie sucks. I have a 11 year old daughter and 7 year old son, and the level of violence in this "cartoon" was simply unacceptable. The story was an obscure "myth" of what happens without environmentalism- the makers of this film ought leave their social commentary in Japan. Like violence will help trees grow-don't buy or even rent this movie. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Lame Review: Everybody said that this would be the best anime film ever. They were wrong. I thought it was more of a "chick flick" than anything else. I guess it was too built up for me. I was expecting "Akira" or "Fist of the North Star," but it was a far cry from either of those. It was lame. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Princess Mononke, an amazing film!! Review: Hayao Miyazaki has used an ancient Japanese myth and turned it into a brilliant and entertaining film. The story goes well and move swiftly leaving you amazed. The characters all seem to have a different story to tell and connecty with each other easily. It is a magical film that can easily be entertaining even though it is most probably enjoyed more by 10+ Anyway I loved the animation and I feel it deserves a 5-star! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A great movie!!!! Review: I heard about this movie from a good friend,so on the weekend of my birthday I rented it.To be honest I thought it was going to be stupied but boy was I wrong. The animation is great, the story is a wonderful tale of man vs nature. At first it starts out kind of simple, a young man startes out to find out if someone can lift a cures given to him by a demon/god. Then as he travels on and meets princess mononoke it get more complicated and trilling. being an anime fan I didn't ecspecte it to be to childish but never ecpected this. This is a great movie for action seekers. Actuly this movie has somthing for everyone, it has just the right amount of action, comedy, and even a litte romaince but not over doing the perfect mix and noware near childish. There arn't many movies these days for preteens/early teens that don't over do some thing but this movie is perfect. Even boys will like it.(my brother loves it!) Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Wow, This is my new favorite.... Review: This is the greatest movie I have ever watched. Over 144,000 indivisual cells were used, making this excellent quality. The story is breath-taking, and the characters are addictive On both mental and physcal levels, this movie is to please. If you havent watched it, WATCH IT! Your missing on on something great here. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: wow Review: this is the good anime, not the kind with fire coming out of peoples hands this one is samurais and ninjas and monsters its action packed with sword fights and everything Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Very good, but some limitations Review: This is certainly an extraordinary piece of work. The animation is superb, with some very beautiful effects and tableaux that will take your breath away. The action scenes are also very well done, and are frequently riveting. This is a real film, not a kiddie cartoon; and it takes advantage of the potential of its medium like few things this viewer has ever seen before.The impact of the film is limited however by poor development of the plot -- it's not that convoluted, it's just inadequately presented -- which makes it essentially impossible to follow. And some of the characters' voices are so quietly and murkily recorded that you simply can't make them out. It's unfortunate, because it really mars the movie.Having said that this is a unique achievement that certainly bears watching at least once. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: One of the BEST movies I have ever seen Review: This movie is one of the best anime videos that I have ever seen. It's compelling story drew me in and the character design is flawless. This movie erned it's 5 star rating. And to the 12 year old reviewer from Texas I say that your mind must be the equvilent of that of a peice of broken glass. And 12 years old is too young to have a real boyfriend. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Must Buy ! Review: I was one of the handful of people that got to see this movie in the theaters. It had to be one of the best movies I have seen since AKIRA. The story line was beyond Phattt and so was the animation ! Like I said its a must buy! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: amazing...creative anime Review: This is the probably one of the best movies I've ever seen. True, it is a little gory and bloody, but the plot is amazingly creative and interesting, although a bit confusing. I loved this movie and watched it six times. The characters were well represented and the storyline is very interesting. However I thought the name "princess mononoke" was kind of corny because it only appears once in the whole show and was probably just used to give it a good and attractive title. this movie is very interesting and good anime, and i would highly recommend it to anyone, although the bloody scenes may not be great for little kids. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: One of the best anime ever Review: I just starting about a year ago to go into other anime other than DragonBall Z. I've seen DragonBall, DragonBall Z, DragonBall GT, and some of the new DragonBall episodes just coming out in Japan. I've also seen Blue Sub 6, Gundam 0080, Gundam Wing, Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, Tenchi Muyo, Tenchi Universe, Tenchi in Tokyo, (some Sailor Moon to kill time), and Outlaw Star, and am now searching for new anime to watch. This was my first pick that I found to rent. This is one of the best anime I have ever seen. Of course, I'd rather watch it in Japanese with English subtitles than English dubbed. I would recommend this to all beginner and moderate anime fans out there. I can't speak for true anime fans since I have not gone as far with it as others have. In short, this is a must have. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: An Absolute Masterpiece, great work of art and Inspiration! Review: This movie is so great, that I don't know where or how to start. I'm sure you already know the story by reading other people's comments, but I would just like to imphasize on it. This movie was so breathtaking that I have loved it ever since I saw it in Japan in 1997. I loved it, and now I love it even more. In fact it wasn't just great entertainment but very inspirational on the conflicts between man and nature, war and destruction and love. I HIGHLY recomend it to any nature lover(such as myself), animation fan or anyone. If you think all anime are the "same", think again. This may have some blood and violence, but thats what the story is about. You cant block all the bad stuff out from the world,like Miyazaki said.This is surely a great work of Miyazaki and I hope many people will watch it and learn from it. Answer:
Yes

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Worth the Wait Review: Stunning and beautiful, PRINCESS MONONOKE was well worth the wait. Miyazaki combines brilliant art with a spellbinding story--made all the more compelling for not being bound by the standards of expectation and American pop taste that keep Disney films solidly in the "G"-rated category. The best animated film I've seen in many years, and highly recommended. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The Best Review: This is the best anime i've ever seen! It has great characters,plot,music, and animation! For you who are skeptical...DON'T BE! Just go rent it! Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: An Enchanting and Beautiful Masterpiece Review: I own the Cantonese version of this movie. Even though I do not understand a single word of it, this is easily one of those most amazing and beautiful animations I have ever seen. Hayao Miyazaki is definately one of the greats if not greatest. PLEASE VOTE for the production of this incredible work of genius and art. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Visual Poetry Review: The images, story and themes of this exquisite film are all top notch and I am delighted to have it in my collection. Or to put a more measured value on it: If I had to choose between the Ring trilogy and Mononoke, I prefer Mononoke. I loved the 3 Ring movies, but this is art. I think it is worth the price.The sense of wonder you can get from this film is a lasting one. Anyone with an open mind and heart will enjoy it immensely and will continue to enjoy it with repeated viewings. I don't want to start describing it in any more detail, but the film is not for every taste so I'll just say, SEE THIS FILM if* you're open to eastern traditions and ways of thinking.* you're open to seeing a great film that doesn't fit into narrow confines of any genre.* you're an adult who understands that good and evil exists in all of us.* you're willing to look at greed and violence in thoughtful ways. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: It's one of my favorites Review: Princess Mononoke is a great action, mystery, and romance story. I loved the animation and the characters. I just recently watched it in Japanese, and it was totally awesome. I especially love the music(my fave is Princess Mononoke, or so it's called). It's so haunting and riveting, that's what makes this a great movie! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Cool Movie Review: This is the first anime movie ive ever watched and it was cool. i'm 13 and the only reason i rented this movie is because one of my cousins said it was good so i gave it a rent and i liked it. This is not the best movie ever made though! It's pretty gory actually I was surprised i have been able to watch pg-13 movies since i was like 7 and R since i was 10 so i wasn't like shocked or anything but for a cartoon it was quite violent. The thing i liked best about the movie was the fact that there was no clear villian i mean yeah that one lady whatever but not really i mean she had her reasons. Rent the movie i bet u will like it regardless of your age. Answer:
Yes

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: VASTLY over rated film. Review: I'm a big fan of most of Miyazaki's films (especially "My Neighbor Totoro"), but this film is a disaster. The art is beautiful, and I've seen both the Japanese version (with english subtitles) and the American version. I originally thought that the director was taking for granted that I might understand some of the Japanese legends, but just about all of my Japanese friends said they didn't understand it at all, either. They likened it to a Japanese "Roger Rabbit" --another film that is really poorly constructed and has lousy animation. Japanese animation often looks beautiful and is well choreographed--but they still can't tell consistantly coherant stories. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: More ecological and antihuman sentiment than I can bear Review: I attempted to enjoy this movie for the animation and voice acting but simply could not because of the glaring antihuman sentiment of the film.All of the human characters in the movie, save for the protagonist, were either portrayed as mindless drone workers or hatred-driven dictators out to destroy the "intrinsic value" of nature. The protagonist was the only human portrayed as a morally good character, mostly because of how she was defensive of nature rather than her own kind.If you have esteem for yourself and others of your own species, you should probably avoid watching this movie; you most likely would not enjoy it. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: This guy did Spirited Away too..................? Review: I am at a loss for words on this movie. I saw Spirited Away and could watch it over and over for all the charming characters and animation in that movie. True, there were many interesting creatures and many things that were almost dream-like, BUT, thinking I would get the same type of movie........I hesitantly rented Princess Mononoke. The animation was just not up to par like Spirited Away, and the story was just so hard to make yourself understand that I just had to turn it off 3/4 of the way through. And I really wanted to like this movie too. But its unfair to take anyone's review and make a judgement, just rent this one before you buy it....you might only be out $4 instead of $30. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Get over it Review: The only reason people like this movie is for the visuals. The story itself is confusing, stupid, and all around not very good. The main character messes up things time and again and you slowly lose any sympathy you originally had for him. Add to that the fact that no one learns anything in the end of the film, the evil humans are still evil, the dumb kid is still just as dumb. One of my friends recommended this too me so me and 2 other people sat for 2 hours trying to like it. When we told my friend we all hated it she said "But wasnt it pretty" and truth be told thats the only reason anyone would like this film. If you wanna see something pretty then watch crouching tiger or something, at least that had a plot. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Watch is withOUT audio...1star for animation. Review: This movie didn't make any sense to me, except for the tree/nature hugging undertone. It seems all over the place with storylineS. I wouldn't be able to explain what is the movie about if I had to. Is it about the kid from this long lost tribe and his coming of age? Is it about Iron Town and the exploitation of nature and its resources? Is it about giant wolves and pigs/demons?...among other possible themes. I didn't get it. But the animation sequences get the only credit, in my book. I say rent it first then decide if you want it in your collection. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Borring, Miscast Voices, Too Long Review: I first saw Princess Mononoke when it came out in theaters. With all of the hype, I was expecting something wonderful. The first thing I noticed was the good animation. The second thing was the flat, miscast voice acting. The third was the bleeding heart mumbo-jumbo story. Half way through the show I realized that I didnt care about any of the characters. The wolves were boring. The male hero whispered all of his lines like he was too cool to show any emotion. None of the monsters sounded cool (Not even any extra snorting for the attacking worm infested pig!). The best performance goes to the princess. Joe Bob didnt sound anything like he looked on screen. I dont know, I love anime, but I got so bored that I walked out before it was over. Don't believe the hype! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Wow, what a complete...let down! Review: I waited enthusiastically to view this "opus". The animation was phenomenal. The audio was a bit lacking, but the story blew me away. It was that good? No. It was far worse than I could have ever envisioned. The last 1/3 of the movie and the ending in particular left me searching for words. I was dumbfounded that this tripe could receive a good review, much less the almost universal praise that it had been given just after its release. In a word, shocking. I have intentionally left out specifics as to not ruin it for those who have not seen the movie. Believe me though...it's that bad. Borrow it from a clueless friend and judge for yourself, if for no other reason than to see what astonishingly bad cinema looks like. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: "Princess Mononoke" - Excellent!! Review: "Princess Mononoke" is a fantastic film for pre-teens through adults. Highly recommend this movie if you liked "Spirited Away". Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Wonderful Miyazake Film Review: This is another fabulous film from the gifted Mr. Miyazake. It makes you laugh, cry and ends by filling you with hope -- as do all of his films. This was one a huge hit in Japan when it came out and was only eclipsed by another of his films, Spirited Away (which is also wonderful, by the way). 5 stars all the way and 4 paws up! Answer:
Yes

Yes

No
Is this product review positive? Title: Spirited away combines with My Neighbor Totoro Review: The first thing I thought of this movie after I watched it was: this is spirited away mixed with My neighbor totoro, but not in a cutesy way it was more filled with action. It is like Spirited away because of well the spirits lol and it is like MNT bc of the forest god. After I watched it; I wanted to watch it again, it just has brilliant animation, compelling storyline, and great characters and character development. Anyone who loves Miyazaki's films, but prefers a more mature story such as Tales from Earthsea would really like this one. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Latest information regarding japanese language Review: I have just read the following on DVDTalk: "Talk about making an impact! We just received news that Disney has put the DVD release of Princess Mononoke on hold "in anticipation of the availability of the original Japanese language track and possible additional bonus materials." We did it! Together we influenced one of the biggest studios in Hollywood! Congrats DVD talkers!" I hope this information is exact and that Princess Mononoke will finally be released with the original japanese track and english subtitles in addition to the dubbed version. I have already preordered my copy at Amazon. If this information is false, I can always cancel my order, but there really still seems to be hope for anime fans... Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Princess Mononoke: A must see Review: What an amazing movie with great anime! Princess Mononoke was one of the greatest movies ever and it would have been even better if it hadn't been so violent. Despite the made up creatures, this movie was really realistic. I could see something like this happening in real life; humans fighting amlessly. Yeah, I could see that. Man, I hope that doesn't happen. Well, the creatures in this movie are pretty cool; giant wolves, gods, demons, and battle boars. What a movie! Anyone twelve or older must see this movie. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A Good and Complete Story Review: Princess Mononoke is a very well animated movie that is complete in itself. It has a theme of peace rather than violence, and a respect for nature, though I would definitely say it's gory enough (and so deserves the pg-13 rating). On the whole, I'd say it's a superior work in anime, and the plot is easier to follow than most. Good for those fairly new to anime as well. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: One of Miyazaki's Finest! Review: I've always been a fan of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, but really this is what started it all for me! 1999, Princess Mononoke hit theaters, I was there just for fun with some friends, but this movie somehow impacted me, and then I became like the greatest fans really, I have like every movie he's done! This movie has an awesome, interesting, magical story, about a forest god and everything, action packed, oooh it's so great! .... Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Oh my god it buetiful! Review: When I first heard about this movie I had almost no intention of seeing it. Luckily my family and I had to go to Chicago right when it was in the one theater there so I decided to drag my faily along and see it. Everyone liked it, including my dad who thought that he'd hate it. When I showed the DVD version to my friend a few days ago he like it too. The both sited the same reasons, great artwork, and buetiful active backgrounds. What I mean by that is that the backgrounds actualy looked natural, instead of the static backgrounds which are so common in anime.

Is this product review positive? Title: Miyazaki Does it Again. Review: Hayaou Miyazaki never ceases to amaze me. Allow me to add my accolades to the list. The story, the characters, the dialogue, and the visuals make for a complete film, and only complete films make for classics. Punk kids and English majors alike can find much in this film to appreciate. It is an experience.Unfortunately, like many Japanese anime films, the ending of this one felt weird or awkward. The only other negative comment I have is directed soley toward Disney: JAPANESE FILMS MUST BE IN JAPANESE! It seems senseless that with all the DVD's capabilities, this one will neither include the film's orginal language or 5.1 Dolby Digital. What a waste of an otherwise great DVD. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Decent Review: I've seen the Japansese translated, and the english dubbed, and i must say that they did a horrible job translating this Anime. In japanese it is probably one of the greatest i have seen, but the english was butchered, substituting words so it would have a more North American appear i suppose..one such obvious change was "the great forest god" or whatever he was called in the tranlated, as opposed to "Shinigami," or god of death, in the japanese....and the term Mononoke isn't even mentioned in teh dubbed version Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: 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. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A well made film Review: While the themes are none too subtle, the film itself is a spectatular example of what a movie can do. I thought the english dubbing (even though I prefer subtitles) was very well done, and of course the visuals are stunning. I highly reccomend this film to almost anyone, even those who aren't too interested in Japanese animation. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: wow, what thrills!!! Review: When I first watched this movie, I was really scared, but in an exciting way. The second time I watched it, I couldnt beleive how aweome it was. I was dissapointed because I only got to see it two time because we rented the movie. I want to buy this movie as soon as I can. Great Film!. ps: this is not,I repeat not, for small kids. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Movie Review: Great movie with subtle undertones dealing with Western Culture and Society. Great back story for any environmental type. Great story line with moral to the story. Adult like material , not for children under the age of 16. They would not fully understand or grasp the true meaning of the movie Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Classic Review: Classic Miyazaki, any anime fan should see at least once. Beautiful animation, great story and above average voice acting. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Shades of Grey Review: The movie is beautiful, with wonderful scenery. The story is not for little kids, although my five year old loves it. Unlike the more normal fare that kids are exposed to, in this movie there are no bad guys or (all) good guys. All of the characters have reasons for what they do, and all show signs of honor and courage. The fact that they are in conflict makes the story much more interesting.Watch the movie. Just because it's animated doesn't mean it's for kids. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Good movie Review: It had a good story about with some strong themes. Predominating themes were love, honor, man vs. nature and nature vs. machines. The art was beautiful. There were some elements of comedy, and of course the gore (oh, there goes that man's arm!).The movie is essentially about a man who kills a demon but gets infected by it. In his search to find where the demon originated, he becomes caught between two different worlds-nature's struggle against man, and the society where the people are good but are hurting the environment.Actually, for the movie to be called Princess Mononoke is a little strange, she's the secondary major character. It's more about the young man. Overall it was a good movie. I rented it first, which is what I would recommend with all Animes because everyone has different tastes. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Amazing! Review: It was the most wonderful movie I could ever hope for! My friend recommended it to me, and I was very reluctant to see it. I'm not a big fan of anime. I always thought the animation was choppy and storylines bland. This completely changed my mind. Princess Mononoke is the best movie I have ever seen, anime or not!( I've seen almost every movie from Terminator to Sense and Sensiblity) I loved how Miyazaki never created a bad guy. The most obvious one has good motives, and by the end of the movie, you're left wondering if this was a movie or a play of real-life relationships. It didn't have the classic good vs.evil plot we've all seen with every movie. It displays real friendships and issues. Fantasy fan or hard-core realist, you'll love this movie! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: One of my favorite anime Review: I really enjoyed this movie. I had been waiting a long time to see this movie and I'm glad that I did. The animation was superb, the plot was excelent, and the characters were great. There were awsome battle sences and even a bit of romance. The only proplem was that there were barely any special features on the DVD. When I get a DVD I always look foward to the special features. Besides that everything was perfect. I wouldn't reccomend this movie for young children because it contains mild language, violence, blood, and some scary sences. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A Good but long movie Review: The sound track was originally what got me to watch this movie. {I'm in fact listening to it now} The music has a touch to it that has both combat feeling and that shivering feeling you get when your character is in serious trouble or in such a tremendous situation.I liked the animation and the story was pretty good. They did seem to drag it on a little bit in the end, but overall I'd recommend getting this on DVD. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: BLOODY FANTASTIC!!! Review: I've been a fan of manga/anime ever since i can remember and as manga/anime goes this is one of the best. Captivating scenes, beautifull music. The story is brill also, as well as the characters.You get a few giggles when watching this but then you also feel sadness. All mangas/anime should be like this the story, the music, the characters.ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC!!! Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: A great movie Review: I really loved this movie, although once it ends it leaves you wondering what was that all about. But if you just stop and think about it for a few minuets it should come to you. Ive seen in some of the other reviews that some people didnt like the fact that there was no clear cut "bad guy" or "good guy" in the movie, but I think that is what makes the movie so great. I mean think about real life, most of us are neither bad nor good, just somewhere in that grey area of both. And thats how it is in the movie, yes some of the people do bad things, and you hate them for that, but then, they do somting good, and you forgive them, isnt that how it works in real life?? I really love anime, and after I saw this movie, I loved it even more. This movie is really worth it too see. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Powerful and a refreshing change from plot-less movies Review: What I love best about this movie is that it allows people to come to their own conclusions. Not only is this wonderful to watch for its music and animation, but it also has a quality to it that the majority of movies today lack. It makes you think. There are so many intricate layers in this story that each time you watch it you catch sight of a few more meanings that you didn't see before. If you have been disappointed with movies that seem to lack focus, or plot, or message, or if you are tired of watching regurgitated ideas that hold no more value than that which is on the surface, Princess Mononoke is the movie for you. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent Display of how our world is! Review: I have experienced some of the things that Miyazaki has put in "Princess Mononoke". For example, i've had to step into fights and then get rejected by both sides. We ourselves are demons in a certain view. We hurt others when they're in the way of our dreams or whatever. For example, if I wanted to rule the world and my friend opposed me, I would hurt him. Miyazaki is clearly showing this and that's why I give "Princess Mononoke" a 5-stars rating. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Princess Mononoke Review: This is simply an awesome film. It is the only film I enjoyed so much that I wrote the studio (Studio Ghibli) and thanked them for making it. I'm even now on the lookout for future works by the studio and the movie's creator, Hayao Miyazaki.There is just nothing better out there. This is an amazing tale with beautiful animation and a grand plot. If you haven't seen this I command you stop reading this review and go get a copy. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Homage from James Cameron Review: I just watched the DVD today, I probably not the first person to mentioned this, so here goes. 25 minutes into the movie, I said to myself, haven't I seen this movie like in the last 6 weeks, OH YEAH!!, It's AVATAR ! the story line, the characters, the overt themes, the forest background, the little faires. Enough said, I still enjoyed both films. By the way I just found out that James Cameron is a huge J-Anime fan. Thank you. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great Movie Review: I would like to start of buy saying that you don't have to like anime to like this movie. This movie as you might have heard it the top grossing movie in Japan, and for a good reason.Mononoke is the best movie you will ever see. period. There arn't any bad guys but there arn't any good guys eather. I think that you should order this movie now. It's perfect! Answer:
Yes

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: One of the very few movies I would consider worth 5 stars Review: For those not familiar with animie, the first 10 minutes may seem a bit extreme in the violence area, beheadings and all. However, this movie is fantastic for the whole family. My wife loves it, and so does my 3 year old daughter (This is the only movie in my animie collection that I let her watch). Every scene is very well done. A gripping story, well done character interaction, multiple sub plots, and fantastic cinemetography, all add up to one of the best movies I have ever scene. There are probably only 10 to 12 movies I would give 5 stars to, and this is one of them. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Pure anime in it's brightest form! Review: I love movies directed by Hayao Miyazaki. This movie I hadn't seen so I presumed it was good. The critics said it was good, so I bought it at my local Target for 20 dollars. It was worth every penny! It was probably one of the absolute best movie by Miyazaki. It was rated PG-13 for the graphic war scenes which got better and better! I love this movie! You will love it! Answer:
Yes

Review: This is just an amazing movie the artistry is amazing, the plot has historical accuricy, and has just the right amount of funny to make this move worth while. I can never get tired of watching this movie! I praise Mr. Matsuda on this movie of movies. It is not just anime it defies all boundrys of filmaking. I would give this movie 10 stars out of 5 if I could. But I can't so I'll stop on this note... WATCH THIS MOVIE! Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Another great anime film from the mastermind, Miyazaki Review: I finally got to watch "Princess Mononoke" on DVD. I was blown away!!! What can you say about Miyazaki that hasn't already been said? Beautiful, breathtaking, fantastic, wonderous... etc!!!

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Archtype breakaway-the ultiminte Review: This movie is by far the best movie I have seen in my life, with the semi runner up Nasicou and the vally of the wind. This movie does not quite leave a clif hanger, nor does it quite say happily ever after. I my mind, this is one of the most attractive features, the thing that keeps me coming back to watch it again. It is almost as if reality warped and life turned awsome- i recomend this movie as a must see for life. And if you are currently shoping for younger children, this movie as some animated vilince, but the plot is ment for all ages. this movie set my daydream experince on an all time high. I love this movie Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Don't regret not seeing this anime after life Review: As simple as emotions this anime is all about, it's full fill of it.The main carecter is the best carecter i have ever seen in my life, it really presents the MAN personality. The graphics are amaizing, the back ground sound is fantastic, but the subtitel is really bad it just flashs, so if you are going to watch this movie (buy-rent-borrow) it and that is what you are going to do PICK the english version of it.Actually guys I find my self out of words to talk about an anime like that.I JUST CAN SAY DO NOT REGRET NOT SEEING THIS ANIME AFTER LIFE Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The opposite of lacking. Review: This is a stunning animation that managed to combine the essential components of a classic hit in a captivating way. It deals with many issues that rather than interfere with the overall plot or are simply be integrated with it, Princess Monoke's many issues, if anything, amplify the central plot. I was truly surprised by the independence that it shows from any other animated film that I have seen, which is a rather high number, and I think that if or when you see this movie you will be moved and captivated beyond your expectations. I definitely recommend this movie for "every one" of all ages (with a warning of few adult phrases). Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Fabulous! Anime at its best! Review: Princess Mononoke is one of the best anime films I've ever seen. Each scene is breathtaking. When I saw this for the first time, I hadn't heard anything about anime. I was introduced to a whole new world of filmmaking, one that I didn't know existed. I would recommend this to anyone, and if you liked it try movies like "Ghost in the Shell" or "Nausicaa." Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The Three-Hour Epic Review: The animation was beautiful but the story was way too long; it just seemed to be a comedy of tragedies. That's all I have to say. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Movie for liberal tree huggers Review: If you think Man is evil and you're a tree hugger, you'll love this movie. Tried to watch it for pure entertainment but couldn't because it was soo boring. Thought it would be a good anime to watch because of all the STARS, guess all the STARS came from tree hugging liberal. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Nice visuals, but very disappointing story Review: The visuals and animation technique were up to par for anime -- lots of beautiful and intricate things to look at. However, I was very disappointed with the story and the character development. Most of the time, the action just didn't make sense (unless I'm missing a lot of fairytale background that Japanese kids grow up with), and the characters were so, uh, two-dimensional that I felt uninvolved nearly the whole time I was watching. Perhaps Princess Mononoke got better reviews than it deserved because of the big-name cast and the relative lack of knowledge about anime in the American market. I'd rather have watched Bubblegum Crisis again than this movie. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Month of Miyasaki Review: This month cartoon network is having a month of miyasaki program so every staurday night I go in my room to watch the movie. I had been waiting all week for it because it had demons & wolves & stuff on the commercials & I love that kind of stuff. When I watched it it was better than I had expected but your little brothers & sisters might not like it because it has people having thier arms & heads chopped of, ect. But for older kids IT's GREAT!!! So I think you'd like to watch it. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Epic Review: This is an amazing motion picture. From the by-hand anime, which seems to be a fading art, to the undeniable and powerful messages it cultivates through seemingly basic storytelling, this epic journey encompasses so much thought and compassion it is overwhelmingly ideal in so many ways. A must have for anyone who appreciates the art of film. *bow* Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Princess Mononoke Review: Sophisticated, hand-drawn animation and an epic storyline about the conflict between ecology and the industrial ambitions of mankind turn Miyazaki's film into a marvelously potent parable. This unusually thoughtful and transporting tale never falls into a simplistic portrayal of good and evil, but rather asks how man and nature can live in harmony. Set in mystical, long-ago Japan and populated by wood spirits, nature gods, fierce demons, and other marvels of mythic dimension, "Mononoke" is a rare visual treat for dreamers of any age. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Pure Brilliance. Review: A brilliant story that manages to be exciting without resorting to endless bloody violence. Don't get me wrong, I like hack and slash as much as the next guy, but it's nice to see a story that does things in a different way.The animation itself is beautiful, and the english translation was done by Neil Gaiman, so the dialouge is witty and clear, unlike many other transations of Japaneese films.If you haven't seen it, you should really try this. You'll like it. Answer:
Yes
