Let's start with the title - 'Mononoke Hime'. After watching the movie, one can easily concur that the title is a mismatch.
The movie starts off great. Immediately we are introduced to the main character taking down a demon god and was cursed in the process. He sets out on a journey to find a way to lift his curse. At this point i was greatly engrossed & was really looking forward. Man!! It was a big let down.
Characters:
We have a main character 'ashitaka' who is so lame and useless that if you remove him from ...

I cannot believe there are so many high ratings for this movie. During my two hours watching this "Ghibli classic," I often checked the running time, only to groan at the fact that I still had a slow hour, fifty minutes, forty minutes, etc to go before I can be freed from this boredom. Princess Mononoke is a bad movie. There, I said it. I'm sure many will disagree with me, although I have no idea why, but let me start with what was good about this train wreck. Firstly, I'd like to say I have never truly been disappointed by ... Oct 24, 2023 If you are like me who hates pacifist main characters who can't take a side then you are going to hate the climax. Our annoying MC couldn't take a side even though it has been abundandtly clear what he should have done but he continues to help the "villains" who also don't get any punishment whatsoever despite all the cruel things they did. when i reached that point i couldn't wait to stop the movie since it took a really tasteless and infuriatin turn. like get a drip and do what must be done.

The main character wasn't on any side, he just wanted for them to live together, and how cliché that may sound, it works. Through the movie he tries to get everyone together, but he doesn't actually do anything, he just isn't fighting against anyone, he helps both parties. ... |
