Borring, Miscast Voices, Too Long, Janv. 15 2002
Par Un client
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!

I'm sorry, but I just don't see what everyone else sees, Sep 7 2001
I was an anime fan before I watched this, and this is the least favourite DVD out of my collection.Really the only thing I liked about it was the animation (especially the scenes with the Night Walker), but even then there were things I didn't like - in particular the way the faces were drawn, which I thought looked too "cartoony" for a movie so many people are trying to remove the label "cartoon" from (faces like that *belong* in Ranma 1/2, which has similar designs, but not in a movie like this). The scenes with heads and limbs being cut off also looked very silly, and in my opinion ruined the mood the movie was trying to create. My main problem with this film is with the characters. People sing the praises of the fact that none of them are strictly "good" or "evil", but that doesn't change the fact that really they're just hollow shells. We know their personalities and absolutely nothing else. I'm sure most people who love Mononoke would laugh if I said my favourite anime was Sailor Moon (subtitled, of course), but one of the reasons I like it so much is because of how well the characters are fleshed out. You really know them, really care about them, even the bad guys - and when they die, you really care about that too. If Princess Mononoke had condensed what's there already into a shorter space (IMO it's far too long for the little that actually happens) and added more exploration of the characters' histories, I would have enjoyed it a lot more. Also I like romance, which the film has very little of, and maybe this would have been a good opportunity to add some in. On top of that, there's virtually no character development at all - everyone ends up pretty much the same as they started. Although I've seen people argue that realistically people wouldn't develop that much in such a short space of time, it doesn't exactly make for riveting viewing. Another one of my problems with Mononoke is the music. There is one word I can use to describe this movie's soundtrack: Boring. By the end of the movie, I could only remember one piece of music that played (the theme tune), and that's because throughout the movie it was played OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. It could really have used some more variety. This especially bothered me because music is one of the most important things for me in anime. To sum up... this movie bored me, and I honestly don't get why it's so popular. All I can say is that I'm not someone who's only ever watched anime on TV, I'm not a violence-obsessed Fist of the North Star fan, and I'm not someone who automatically won't watch anime because it's animated - but none of the things I like about anime are present in this movie. Simple as that.

More ecological and antihuman sentiment than I can bear, Aoû 16 2001
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.

How unappreciative some of us are..., Jui 5 2001
Seriously, I gave it a single star to grab peoples' attention; I actually give it 4 and 1/2. I had my doubts, but I ended up enjoying the movie. Now, onto more pressing matters...Tis a shame that some reviewers don't like this movie due to some bias they have, pre or post, about the movie. First off, to the parents -- Why do you complain? You have no right to be appalled by the content of this movie. Can you not read? There are reviews out there that allow you to judge what is appropriate for your children. Ratings systems are abound all over the internet, movie rental stores, etc. Ask questions! Or better yet, rent the movie; screen it so you know what's coming. Don't sit with your children watching it and then come to find there is blood and gore within. You're the parent, so act like one. Secondly, to the insecure and stubborn -- how pitiful. What has this world come to that we can't accept a child's world? "Oh no, I don't feel masculine because I'm watching an anime with all-too-common world issues." Or perhaps you prefer some political strife? "Nah, 3rd-world countries without women's rights -- not a problem." "Environmentalism -- just a bunch of tree-hugging sissies." "This movie made me puke...the ugly pigs with boils and pus..." Ha, the pigs didn't have such features. Then that same reviewer reccomends watching Ninja Scroll, which is twice as voilent. Now then; those of you who apply to any of the above, words alone cannot express your ignorance. And to those who were "suckered" into watching it due to hype, then disappointed -- oh well. That's why it's called HYPE. Don't even get me started on the most recently hype-turned-out-to-be-mediocre machine, the PS2... Finally, to those who I did not address. If for any reason you gave this great anime a subpar rating, besides the ones written for its somewhat lacking technical aspects, go crawl under a rock. Return and write a review when A) you are unbiased and B) you know the facts.

Princess Mononoke, Fév 23 2001
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.

Vomit inducing, Janv. 13 2001
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.

Lame, Déc 4 2000
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.

If you want gore you get plenty of it from this film!, Nov. 7 2000
Why do they always force you to give it one star at the least when this movie deserves a -10 at the most. If this film is rated PG-13 then I am 5 years old. I will admit that the animation of this film was very breathtaking but the story made all of that hard work fall to pieces. During this film I couldn't stop looking at my watch and wondering what kind of interesting nightmares this movie would produce. They only thing that kept me in the theater was that I paid ($) per ticket. I went to this movie believing it would be a very interesting tale of a warrior, humans and nature. I expected the film to leave me with some kind of moral making me feel bad for not being an environmentalist. The movie loss all meaning when I was hit with a wave of blood and gore. Not to mention the "possessed" boars covered with what appeared to be moving hamburger meat. The one thing that truly made me want to scream was the sleepy stuff in the blind boars eyes. I found myself pleading with the characters to help the poor guy out and take the sleepy stuff out of his eyes. This movie should be rated R to say the least. One thing that scared me worse then the movie itself was after the movie when a bunch of 7 years olds said they loved the movie and couldn't wait to buy it. I think that fact horrified me the most. To sum it up this movie was a cross between a green peace infomercial and Mortal Kombat. DO NOT LET THE FACT THAT IT IS ANIMATION FOOL YOU INTO THINKING IT'S O.K. FOR KIDS 13+ TO WATCH THIS FILM.

A warning...., Nov. 3 2000
Par Un client
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.

No Japanese track on DVD by Buena Vista - really BAD news, Juil 11 2000
Par Un client
This is a wonderful movie (5 stars), but...This is really SAD news. Check out news at Nausicaa.net and Aintitcool.com . Once I get the preorder DVD, and the case really shows only English dub...I'm really returning it to Amazon.com unopened. Sorry Amazon, we all have to share the burden here. Maybe you can help us -your loyal customers on this. Hey I bought a lot of stuff from you. Disney, Buena Vista, you really don't know how to make good DVDs. 0.0 features to start with. Take a look at Prince of Eygpt and all the other neat Anime DVD like Fushigi Yugi, Lodoss War, Tenchi Muyo, Ghost, Ninja Scroll, etc... Learn by example please. I'm not ever buying TWO versions of any DVD no matter how good, and I've got 200 DVD disks, so I'm one of those guys in your "market" studies. Please take the time to put the film right where it belongs: Together with the Japanese track that came with it and made it big and popular in the first place. I don't appreciate butchered movies at all, nor folks that do them.
