A sub-par anime by a great director

Rating: Null/10 (2 March 2003)

Princess Mononoke (or for you anime Nazis Mononoke Hime) is a long, slow, boring movie about saving the rainforests. A crazy boar comes and attacks a village. This prince is attacked and cursed and so then he goes off to....uh, they never really said what he went off to do. Cure himself I guess. But he goes to cure himself and then meets Princess Mononoke (a wolf-girl), he also meets a Gun Lady and a bunch of Gods.
I got totally lost at this point though. Basically the point is that guns are bad and trees are good.
There were some good things about this movie. The animation was rather nice. Not the best I've seen but pretty good. The music. The music was great. The movie didn't do the music justice. Great orchestrated symphonies that almost made me think this movie was an epic.
The most annoying thing were those little rattling forest dolls. Some dumbass in the theatre would always laugh at them and would p*** me off.

Anyway, this movie is bad. Whoever says it's a master piece is buying into the hype or seeing a different movie than me. If you like anime and Miyazaki then see Lupin or Kiki.
