Rating: 10/10 (28 November 1999)

I can only hope and pray that Mononoke is seen by more movie lovers and that it gets a wider release. The support of individuals is what will allow more Japanese animation to come to the US.
I had to travel from Rochester, NY to Washington, DC to see this movie. It was not listed in Rochester, but I was shocked to see that it was only being played in one theater in DC(another theater somewhere in MD). While the theater was teeny tiny (really small screen in a really small (triangular) room, the movie was excellent. I have been in love with Kiki's Delivery Service from the same director for many years, and this movie does not disappoint. A great feel for visuals, plot and action, and a continuation of two forces living and fighting with and against each other (nature/civilization). He seems to really like those concepts. Mononoke is quite wonderful eye candy, but it also brings good discussions when the movie is done.
Others have written better reviews, but I throw in my recommendation. Go and enjoy this movie, and bring lots of friends to bring up the ticket sales. I want this movie to come to my hometown so I can go see it with other friends on a big screen rather than simply on a TV/DVD/laser/etc...
