Princess Mononoke

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

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

The Bottom Line: Almost an animated Kurosawa, being rich visually and far more importantly, rich thematically.

Review: With Princess Mononoke Director Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away) has created a film that is exactly what people were expecting from the movie Final Fantasy (let...

Pros: Beautiful and playful non-herky-jerky animation, worthy and involving quest.

Cons: Quest Movie dialogue, with occasional wit/ insight but still.

The Bottom Line: Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hatred. Hatred leads to great mounds of grotesque red worms (and in their wriggling bind them).

Review: 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

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: 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...

Pros: ART, IMAGINATION, STORY, MUSIC

Cons: Not any

Review: 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...

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 2...

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...

Pros: A thoughtful plot.

Cons: If you are a cynic you may have difficulty.

The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line If you do manage to get over that you would be rewarded with a very satisfying story indeed.

Review: 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...

Pros: riveting story; wonderful characters; great inspiration; edge-of-your-seat; no easy answers

Cons: animation a little overly "cute" at times

The Bottom Line: A truly fantastic piece of anime, inspiring and creative.

Review: 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...
