One of Miyazaki's best

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2014)

Fun info: This is Miyazaki's first forgo into computer animation, used in the dark "snakes" near the beginning and a few other scenes and is also one of his most violent films. It also has a solid English dub.
It concentrates on a different type of character than most of his films, a young man, Ashitaka, rather than a young woman. His quest does not change him like in many other films but rather he changes many others. The film leans just enough on environmental issues to show a cause while allowing the graphics and story you desire from a Miyazaki film. Special note to the soundtrack which is one Ghibli's best. It concentrates on an iron-works and the battle between various factions of humans, the beasts, and others.
I don't plan on spoiling much else as the films plot speaks for itself. My only complaint is that certain scenes drag a bit too long and if anything a bit too much blood spills at a certain part of the film. Otherwise, this film is excellent and one of his best.
9.5/10
