I watched "Princess Mononoke" last week (my very first netflix). [Great minds think alike!]
I liked it, overall, though it does not show remotely the visual complexity or attention to detail of, say, "Spirited Away." So, in that sense, it's not as good. Miyazaki's style has definitely grown and matured over the years.
However, at the time it came out (which was awhile ago now), I suspect it was groundbreaking...
[Before you ask: currently watching "Upstairs, Downstairs," which is quite a departure from "Princess Mononoke"...] :-)
