The Deer King

This movie is an odd mixture of The Last Of Us and Princess Mononoke. It was slow at times, but it was still a beautiful movie with a compelling story and amazing animation. I definitely recommend this for anime fans!

This is the Prager U version of the japanese epic fantasy novel brought to film. The director, who claims to have worked on Miyasaki's version in 1997, obviously loathed that experience. He hated his experience so much, he made sure to enter a short moment showing the native japanese people Princess Mononoke's character us based on, to call her ignorant and scared and is irrelevant to the storyline. Miyasaki spent his time showing the bravery and depth of these characters. Miyasaki's passionate, disabled, native protagonist becomes a war-hungry oaf. It's so helpful to scientific progress when we can just take what we need from these oafs, their customs and literal blood, and they see themselves out, so nonnatives can raise their children. This film sucks.

Incredible animation and striking visuals are what makes this film so unique. It clearly captures the essence of pure storytelling and incredible artistry.

This animation was beautiful but the ending was very disappointing. The entire movie built up the relationship between the main character and the girl he had taken under his wing just for him to leave in the end. They also built an insane amount of romantic tension between the main character and the doctor and then nothing happened. They should have kissed.

The animation, the music, the characters are very good, the story also good , maybe it's not clear enough, but I really like it very much, I wish they would show another part explaining the background story of the film so that the picture would be clearer for viewers , but it is still very good for me and I love it too much

The Deer King is a visually stunning film with an epic soundtrack that stumbles along with its story. It seems like 30 minutes of The Deer King is missing from the movie; 30 very important minutes would have helped explain what is going on in the story. With too many subplots that clash with each other, it's easy to be confused with the story. A story I'm still not 100% sure what was happening. At least it looked cool.

Great animation resembling Ghibli, however a woefully predictable story.

Really good. Worth watching at-least once.

Visually is lovely the characters are engaging and memorable the only issue is it feels incomplete the whole geopolitical problem is tossed aside and the ending is inferred in the credits so probably the main character desired a normal life for his ward so he became the successor maybe. So yes they give you a speed run of the novels and fail to give a proper ending but still better than a lot of movies I have seen. It does feel like the Last of us though.

A beautiful and rich film filled with intrigue, love, hope, loss, desolation, and beauty. The Deer King is a film that won't be for everyone, but a marvelous ride for those who love fantasy.
