In this direct-to-video sequel to Pokémon: The First Movie, Ash, Misty, and Brock continue exploring the Johto region, then have to rescue Pikachu after Jessie and James of Team Rocket kidnap h...( read more  read more... )im. The search leads them to the hidden plateau where the redoubtable Mewtwo has established a haven for the cloned Pokémon from the previous film. The evil Giovanni is plotting to recapture Mewtwo and renew his efforts to create an army of bio-engineered Pokémon. Aided by the reluctant Meowth, Ash and his friends defeat Giovanni and his henchman in a battle that is less over the top than the original feature but more intense than the program's usual adventures and lessons in sportsmanship. The result is a mildly amusing, not particularly involving film. Mewtwo's angry brooding and some of the action may be too scary for very small children. Unrated; suitable for ages 6 and up. --Charles Solomon

    Continuation of the first movie (Which was bad). I remember liking this one, don't know why.

    Such a bad film. Nothing happens. Not fights or anything. Depressingly horrible, and it shows that this was made at the time the show started to go down hill.

    Not watching this - ever!
  • April 14, 2009
    Funnily enough this is a superior film to it's original predecessor, anyways Mewtwo wants somewhere to live and thats only gonna happen once everyone stops and leaves him and his cloned pals alone.
