I can't imagine how much work went into this, but it's easily one of the most rewarding movies I've ever seen. The animation is breathtakingly beautiful, the story is rich and complex, as are all the characters, and the film manages to elicit sympathy, humor, and sheer awe throughout.

Blurring the lines between good and evil, and showing how majestic and powerful animation can be, this is Miyazaki at his awe inspiring best. The luscious animation is on demand delicate, beautiful, brutal and frantic when the action, pace and scene requires it to be. Miyazaki is a total genius, and this is my favourite of all his works of art. Pretty much perfect and my favourite animated movie ever!

Its beautiful imagery alone is enough to shame the majority of animated films; its depth, ambition and imagination put it on another level entirely. At times, the plot might be overly ambitious, but overall it's a gripping, awe-inspiring tale. One of the best animated movies I've seen - maybe the best, period.

While it is one of the most lauded Ghibli movies, I had a hard time getting into this one, it had the same imagination as their best, but was missing the fanciful whimsy of the best. Where other's go for a fairy tale story, "Princess Mononoke" is a mideval legend.

A darker Miyazaki film that deals more with conflict than resolution (until the end). This is an amazing story, and I always think of this movie as "Lord of the Rings mixed with anime." The last twenty minutes of Mononoke feature some of the most absolutely insane animation to ever grace a screen.

Maybe the greatest animated film of all-time. There is so much imagination and hard work that was put into making this epic and not a moment is wasted. The animation is, as with every Miyazaki, flawless and colors explode off the screen. It has memorable characters and the engrossing story is accessible for all ages, though some of the scenes may be a little scary for younger viewers. No other film, live-action or otherwise, better depicts the on-going battle of nature and human civilization.

The biggest pleasant surprise from Princess Mononoke is that it really is as good as people laud it. The film is bravely adult, and not just in its violence and story, but in its vast array of dark and contemplative themes. It stands out from Miyazaki's other works in this way, and in doing so stands on a pedestal even higher than the emotionally striking Spirited Away. Miyazaki's films are all beautiful, but his strong and courageous storytelling elevates the art to new heights.

The animation is its own gorgeous beast, forcing you to concede to the gravity of it all. Within a few passing lines of dialogue and a beautifully animated gesture, each character, even a seemingly trivial one, is given a past and a goal: a fully realized agenda. I am floored every time by how effortlessly the film weaves so many character intricacies into such a morally ambiguous and -truthfully- epic experience. This is my film sal volatile: a violent but welcome reassurance of film's power.

My personal favorite from Hayao Miyazaki. I think it's one of his most interesting worlds with some of the most interesting characters I've seen in film to date. The sense of dread, the violence, the characters, the music, the animation, and world-building... It's all just so sweeping. I never feel the runtime when I watch it because of how into it I am. Not for the faint of heart, especially if you love animals, but I’ve still never seen anything like it. Epic in every conceivable way.

Princess Mononoke is beautifully animated, and the story is terrific as well. There's no mystery as to why it's one of Miyazaki's better known films. Even to those who don't like anime, this film can entertain thoroughly with its action and colorful characters. Remember to watch it in Japanese, because it's easy to miss a lot from the original vision when it's dubbed over. Awesome!

Rumination on the industrial beginnings of the anthropisation of the natural milieu, from a cosmological perspective where beings are distributed between living things, mortals and gods. In other words, if knowledge is always a means of approaching the future, then here cinema is seen as an attempt to revive a kind of magical understanding for the contemporary age, rooted in a new mythology, devised for intergenerational transmission and admirably conceived in non-oppositional terms.

This is NOT a tree-hugging hippie movie. Mononoke-hime speaks to the deep dark heart of mankind's struggle against Nature that both delicately provides and brutally takes. In Japanese, the Gods come off angrier and fiercer, and the humans more relatable. Balanced and meticulously crafted.

Stands next to Spirited Away as Miyazaki's greatest and one of animation's greatest works. There's no bad time to watch this movie. You immediately feel COMPLETELY ENVELOPED in this world. A perfect rhythm, moving from intense action to contemplative reflection and back. A touching allegory about our destruction of the natural world. We destroy it not out of malice but out of desperate need. Is man or nature more "important"? Can there be harmony? Infinite beauty in this movie.

Hugely enjoyable and imaginative animation. It might appear to be a tad convoluted on paper, but the films flows beautifully and is always coherent and compelling. I particularly like the lack of clear cut villain/good guy roles; this element in tandem with the creativity on show makes this a very satisfying experience. Highly recommended.

Another great film from Miyazaki et al. My only real complaint is that the plot is all-encompassing. I prefer the more laid-back approach of Spirited Away and Kiki, or even the complete plotlessness of My Neighbor Totoro. That said, this is one of the most beautiful and important films that Studio Ghibli has made.

English dub: Spectacularly mounted and animated eco-fable is a feast of sights and sounds, hampered somewhat by some clunky and juvenile dialogue which, like many of Miyazaki's films, hurt the dramatic impetus from time to time. English dub is well cast, with Crudup and Thornton especially bringing some colour to their characterisations.

While often criticised for not having much structure, I find it refreshing how it lets the events all play out fairly naturally, rarely feeling as if the movie is moving towards a natural, satisfying conclusion. The message in the movie is clear, but not too preachy, and not one too many would object too either. And the imagery and events in the movie are hard to forget.

Worthy of its praise. Treats its subject matter, characters and spiritual with respect, crafting a beautiful yet violent fantastical tale of human vs nature. They could have cheaped out and painted everything as good vs evil, leaving it as black and white, but like the abundance of colours that permeate the screen, it's more complex than that. Of course the animation is superb, but that almost goes without saying. I also just loved the ending with the little forest spirit doing its thing.

All of Miyazaki's movies are powerful, pushing the viewer to question deep-held assumptions, but this one cuts deeper than most. It's absolutely the bloodiest and most combat-oriented Ghibli, but that doesn't mean it isn't as caring and kind as all the rest, and that combination slaps you in the face and shouts, "It's not technology, it's not nature, it's trauma, trauma is both the problem and what unites us, it poisons us but we cannot deny it, we have to break the cycle thru absolute love!"

Not really what I expected from a Miyazaki movie. It's definitely more of an adult movie then his others. I thought the plot was a bit convoluted, but maybe it just needs a rewatch. There were quite a few moments that were tedious. I also found it kind of preachy, which is fine I guess, maybe I just went in with the wrong mindset. I was expecting some creative cute anime, but this was more morally ambiguous and bloody. It's still a good movie, but I was kind of let down.

Peak Ghibli, as far as I'm concerned, and one of the great fantasy adventure epics. There are so many scenes of pure, breathtaking beauty, a cast of characters I felt deeply for, and, on the base level, kick-ass action abound. It also works on the deeper level of a symbolic parable of the struggle between man and nature - a story told with little subtlety, yes, but there's nothing wrong with a masterpiece painted in primary colors.

Princess Mononoke is a perfect movie. Hayao Miyazaki is a master of the medium of animation and one of the great storytellers of our time, and it certainly shows in this magnum opus. This film is so awe inspiring! Perfect for comparing with its spiritual ancestor, Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, which shares similar themes but differs philosophically; Mononoke is the ultimate result of the soul searching that he began when he started work on Nausicaa.

I'll admit, I'm no fan of Miyazaki's work. I've always felt his stuff was to "kiddy" or fan pandering, not to mention all of his stuff is fundamentally the same. But, considering the fact that one of my favorite film makers, Kon, is guilty of that as well.. Anyway, Mononoke doesn't fall into many of the same pitfalls, but at the same time I still couldn't connect to the characters and I still feel as though Miyazaki is to "preachy."

A cartoon eco-drama about the battle between technological advances and the natural world seems ripe for an insipid, good vs evil Disney flick but not in the hands of Miyazaki-san. What you get with him is a visually arresting, philosophically complex work of brilliance that is filled with shades of grey and is deeper than 95% of movies, live action or otherwise.

It seems like Miyazaki's Green-Princess films aren't for me. The colorful visuals were great indeed (especially the animal design) but what about the plot and characterizations? Flat, tepid and uninspired. As much as I respect Miyazaki's environmental stance and admire his prowess at creating some stunning animation, this convoluted, overlong tale had me mostly bored.

Princess Mononoke is a fantastic animated movie with a strong, but nuanced, environmental message. It's got strong action, decent characters, enough plot complexity to keep things interesting, and thematic depth to keep you thinking. And, of course, it looks amazing. Hayao Miyazaki doesn't make bad-looking films, after all. This is a success--an epic movie with a large scope and long running time. It's exciting, intelligent, and gorgeous.

While sometimes unnecessarily grotesque, the movie itself has a beautiful landscape of feeling, emotion, and loyalty. The beginning seems to start off shaky, and there is rarely any mention of "mononoke", the character going by "San" instead. Still, it is as good as any - and every - Miyazaki film I've seen to date.

A masterpiece. It's not fair to simply call it one of the best animated films ever made. This is one of the best FILMS ever made.

Stunning and memorable. Big time anime movies are really impressive and if you've never seen one, this would be a grand introduction.

It's typical fantasy stuff, but I'm pretty much okay with that.

Crazy, trippy animation. A great childlike story that critiques the avarice of modern society.

Right up there with Spirited Away as one of my favorite animated films. Explores the world of gods and demi-gods in a beautiful way.

I saw Spirited Away and while I thought it was a good movie I was a little unsure of it as its transition from realism to fantasy felt slightly incoherent. However in Princess Mononoke the audience gets more of an established setting and the two elements blend seamlessly. The animation is breathtaking, and the story is layered yet simplistic. This is an absolutely must watch film for people of all ages.

Spirited Away it ain't... still beautiful to look at, and the underlying philosophy is still there, but the story borders on annoying. The love interest also seems tacked on and, for lack of a better word, unrealistic (and yes, I am aware I am saying so in comparison to one where one of the lovers is a dragon.)

I watched this whilst very tired, so may need to watch again in a more neutral mood.

A beautiful, action-packed visual mindfuck filled with genuinely heartfelt writing and a perfectly executed story progression.

Beautiful and complicated, as life always is. I love that Miyazaki never compromises that.
