(1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1   "While Miyazaki's ecological concerns are never in doubt, he neither oversentimentalises the forces of nature, nor demonises the human characters."   Eye for Film   Anton Bitel 3.5/4 "Here is a film that reaches for unforeseen heights, and surpasses them."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes B- "Its impressive animation and fluid action sequences make it more than a passable two plus hours, but it never becomes the great achievement it could -- and perhaps should -- have been."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov "Even more mundane subjects are so gorgeously rendered that the film as a whole must be called a work of true art."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A stunning Japanese animated feature where forest gods battle with humans infringing upon their sacred domain."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 4/4 "This web of mixed motives is one of Princess Mononoke's greatest strengths. Not once do we feel that the characters are cardboard cutout villains and their hardships are more powerful as a result."   Film and Felt   Gabe Leibowitz 3.5/4 "Unlike most animated motion pictures, which have a relatively limited scope, Princess Mononoke is an epic saga, a fantasy adventure of great ambition and extent."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "Miyazaki's artistry is evident in every frame, a pristine combination of lush greenery, ghastly mythic monsters and beautifully executed humans."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 3/4 " Hayao Miyazaki's eco-friendly animated fable about animal gods and those damn humans bent on destroying the environment is made bearable by some trademark anime limb-severing violence."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 7/10 "...easily one of the best-looking animated features in years."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3.5/4 "A wonderful film directed by Hayao Miyazaki, often called the Walt Disney of Japanimation."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 8/10 "The film, which runs almost two and a half hours, is paced exceedingly well and never feels too long."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3.5/4 "Its imagery is never less than breathtakingly beautiful, and is occasionally truly awesome..."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3.5/4 "The smartest, most thoughtful, best-made cartoon you’re likely to see in a long time."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 10/10 "A breathtaking saga of man versus nature, of gods and men, of bravery, nobility and redemption."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "Hayao Miyazaki recasts the mythic tale of man's dominion over the earth with an animist mythology and a conservationist message..."   Seanax.com   Sean Axmaker "From the very opening frames, Miyazaki proves himself a total master of the medium..."   ESplatter   Steve Biodrowski 7/10 "It is definitely too much of a good thing."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Susan Granger 4/4 "As beautiful as it is poignant."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 4/4 Read review   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell  (1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1
