OK, its great. But damn its not that easy to follow. Its never truly clear exactly whats going on, but you do get the jist of thing. Great voice acting, and truly one of the finest animations ever - there were several scenes id consider to OK, its great. But damn its not that easy to follow.

Great voice acting, and truly one of the finest animations ever - there were several scenes id consider to be classed...(read more) as Art - incredible detail, beautiful landscapes etc. Im a complete newbie to animated movies that are neither Disney nor the incredible South Park movie, so forgive my lack of love for the plot/style, but id certainly recommend others to watch this.… Expand

Criticism of man's impact on nature and how society is corrupted. It is amazing how we see animations dealing with such serious issues and even though the film is from 1999, it is so current.

However the plot suffers from being too uneven, with so many things going on I felt that the film struggled to stay grounded. It is the opposite to films like The Secret World of Arriety where there isn't much plot at all, Mononoke simply has too much plot in my opinion.… Expand

Innovative and very well executed. The slow pacing just made it hard to watch at some points.

Princess Mononoke is one of Miyazaki's most violent movies. The film's great animation and easy messaging work in it's favor, but dull pacing ultimately makes Princess Mononoke harder to enjoy than some of Gibili's other works.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La Princesa Mononoke es una película que me termino debiendo mucho. No es mala, pero tampoco era la joyita que muchos decían que es. La historia en si parece muy interesante, original, lo mismo con el estilo artístico, ha envejecido muy bien, los escenarios son muy preciosos para ser de 1997, y los personajes se sienten únicos. Studio Gibli siempre ha destacado en esto, de hecho, junto con Disney y Pixar esta entre los mejores de la animación. Sin embargo, al igual que muchas otras películas del estudio, termina debiendo debido a que no se explotan muchas de las cosas que se presentan, quedando muchas dudas sueltas de las que rodean al universo ademas de crear inconsistencias o huecos argumentales en su lógica interna planteada. Nunca se explica porque las balas de las armas de fuego convertían en demonios a las victimas, cual era el papel real de muchas de las criaturas "mágicas" que vivían en el bosque, como los humanos descubrieron las debilidades del Dios Ciervo y cual es el pasado de Mononoke. Se siente bastante forzada, ademas el final me resulto bastante extraño siendo que si el Dios Ciervo es "inmortal" y "bueno" porque quiere destruirlo todo cuando de alguna manera le cortan la cabeza con un disparo. Y el protagonista esta lejos de ser el verdadero "héroe" de esta aventura, siendo que no esta ni del lado del bosque ni del lado de los humanos, cosa que en cierta parte se alejaría del cliché de hacer que un humano se alie con los de la otra especie, sin embargo, no termina haciendo nada para resolver el conflicto, lo que es una pena ya que este protagonista parecía que tenia mucho potencial, pero aparte de salvar a dos humanos random mas o menos a la mitad de la película, no hace nada mas.
Otro punto que no se si contarlo como algo negativo (supongo que esto dependerá de cada quien), es que la película tiene un ritmo muy lento. Demasiado lento. Sin embargo, yo si lo tengo en cuenta como algo negativo ya que siendo que no se explotan muchos de sus elementos introducidos, y muchas de las partes se centran mas que nada en el viaje del protagonista, pudo haber durado mucho menos de 2 horas. Varias partes son de relleno y convenientemente el protagonista se topa con los lugares a los que tenia que ir.
A pesar de todas las cosas negativas (y estar muy lejos de ser la mejor del estudio, en mi opinión personal), es una película con un universo bastante único, personajes algo memorables y una historia que si bien debe de aprovechar y explicar muchísimos elementos introducidos, llega a ser interesante. La puedo recomendar, pero al menos a mi, no me pareció una "obra maestra".… Expand

Maybe I was spoiled by the hype around the movie, but I failed to enjoy it and I still think it's not one of Miyazaki's best works. The best thing about the film is the fantastic music by Joe Hisaishi - 10 out of 10 for the score. Maybe I was spoiled by the hype around the movie, but I failed to enjoy it and I still think it's not one of Miyazaki's best works. The best thing about the film is the fantastic music by Joe Hisaishi - 10 out of 10 for the score. The animation is beautiful as well, but not outstanding when compared to other works. The violence depicted (cutting of arms and the like) does not seem to serve any purpose but means that it's not suitable for children, which is sad, because they might enjoy it more. The story and the characters are bland. The storytelling is careless at best. Many plot lines are dropped and never readopted. One example of this is the hero's love interest who gives him a pendant as he is forced to leave. She is never mentioned again. Character's motives aren't explored and seldom a character reflects on his deeds. I often read that it's great that the film does not try to answer the question of which characters are good or evil, but this aggravates the problem. It's also the explanation why many of the character's decision seem so indiscriminate. The film's pacing doesn't help here, as it is so slow to leave much time for thinking about all the gaps in the story. In conclusion: A beautiful picture with promising topic and setting which is ruined by sub-par story-telling and characters.… Expand

Has the usual problems of Japanese animated films (incoherent) along with the usual pluses (good animation).

Yeah, ok, it has that ecological and respect between cultures topic on it, but it has been done thousands of times before and after this movie with better results. I may give it a second chance, but I don't think it was just a bad day.… Expand

The movie follows what is essentially an isekai protagonist rather than the actually interesting Mononoke. Not even the brilliant animation can save the uninteresting story.

Princess Mononoke is just a dull, completely unbelievable and surprisingly disgusting animated picture that simply surplus Ghibli's filmography, which titles are even more breathtaking that this one.

C’est bourré d’incohérences, des incohérences dans tous les sens qui accentuent le côté grotesque de l’ensemble… de cette caricature de connerie d’histoire écolo-conne d’une naîveté confondante ! en outre, ça n’en finit pas ce machin, presque deux heures et quart de daube ininterrompue !

L’animation est comme d’habitude à l’ouest et il faut rajouter à cela le mauvais goût décidément récurrent et commun à la majorité des productions du Studio Ghibli ; un mauvais goût rédhibitoire qui vient encore mettre en évidence -d’ailleurs- l’incongruité et les inepties nombreuses d’un scénar définitivement à la ramasse. En somme, un animé navrant de nullité !… Expand
