A masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2009)

This movie is simply one of the best movies ever made, animated or not. I know that some anime fans hate this movie saying that it is overrated and that "Akira" is a much better movie, but I don't agree with that. Don't misunderstood me, "Akira" is a excellent movie, is just that "Mononoke Hime" is a completely different anime, and the style, story and characters made by Miyazaki are quite different of the ones created by Otomo. Unlike many animated films, that are aimed to children, "Mononoke Hime" is a epic story, filled with elements of tragedy, adventure and heroism, and all beautifully told by one of the masters of the animation that is Miyazaki. Every single frame of this movie has a unique beauty, and all the characters, humans or animals are very likable and interesting. This movie isn't overrated. It deserves all the praise that it receives, and I think that every fan of the animated genre should see this, at least once in his life.
