Princess Mononoke Reviews
Original format made seeing this treasure an experience. IMAX experience worth seeing this majestic endeavor again, and again.
Seeing it on the big screen makes it so much more enjoyable!
Review from Japan. I love this movie. And I especially like the scene where the leper talks to Ashitaka, but I think the English subtitles are incorrect. The following is a machine-translated text of the scene from Japanese. ----- Young man, I understand your anger and sorrow, for I too have been cursed. I understand, but please do not kill the lady. She is the only one who treated us as human beings. Do not fear our sickness, wash and bandage my rotten flesh... "Life is truly painful and hard. I curse the world, I curse others, and yet I want to live." Forgive her for my foolishness. ---- However, the English subtitles translate the double-quote as follows ---- Life is suffering. It is hard. The world is cursed. But still, you find reasons to keep living. ---- The meaning of “I want to live even if it hard so much that I curse the world.” and “You must live even if the world is cursed” are completely different. Of course, there must be some kind of intention of the translator, but I think this translation is inappropriate.
Flawless film from one of the world's greatest studios. Beautifully made, sophisticated and incredibly deep storytelling. A timely reminder of the failure of western film making, terminally determined to cram crassly written and thought out messaging down a shrinking audiences throat. We can be thankful to streaming, which has opened up a life times worth of noble tales, dubbed in many languages, so Follywood can be ignored.
IMAX was a beautiful addition to an already beautiful Movie
Classic Japanese Anime. Better than most of the ones that are coming out nowadays.
A well balanced tale on our relationship with nature, covered in stunning visuals
soooooo good absolutely loved the vibes and the music, im literally one of those little white creatures
One of my favorite movies of all time. Timeless.
Amazing. One of the greatest animated films ever
Classic move, I'm only now seeing for the first time at 50 years old, LOL. Stunning soundtrack and I love the sound design too.
Princess Mononoke Was So Good, The seat were comfortable, the popcorn, candy and Icee’s were soooo good! The people around were polite and the workers were helpful and quick!
Fantastic film, multiple aspects of symbolism and allegory on display along with a wonderful story and profound artistic direction.
Amazing and great as always not dubbed so prepare if thats your style but enjoyed seeing it in large screen
An absolute gem from Studio Ghibli.
Seeing this in the theater is an absolute experience. There’s so many details in the animation and the soundtrack is breathtaking.
An amazing re-release on Mononoke, almost completely ruined by the absolute worst theater seats I've sat in. Genuinely worse than my old old theater that was remodeled over 20+ years ago. 15 minutes into the move and my legs were dying, zero space to stretch them other then into other people's seats. I'm only 6 foot, I'm not an extremely tall person and there was zero leg room and horribly uncomfortable seats. Everyone around us was also constantly fidgeting and adjusting and complaining about it as well. Don't want to give the movie a low rating but genuinely you should never go to the Austin Barton creek imax.
Watched the dub version, usually try to see these subbed but times didn’t line up. Art is beautiful, story feels a bit off possibly do to the dub.
I understand it's being touted as a masterpiece, I rewatched it in 4k cinema in 2025 and confirmed my 7/10 rating. It's a bit too slow and abstract for my shallow self. Still a very worthwhile watch. Will watch again in English dub.
As a die hard Studio Ghibli fan I just had to see this in IMAX 4K. The art work was phenomenal as was the music. Highly recommend.
