Plot:
The world domination of Pokémon begets their first theatrical movie. This adventure is a little more complex and dark than the popular TV series, but kids who live for the show will gobble up ...( read more

MCT:May 15, 2008You can't deny it. Man, I was so into Pokemon. I think I still have the Egyptian Mew card that you got for going to see this somewhere.

MCT:April 29, 2008Probably one of the best Game to Movie adaptation!!! Great Soundtrack, agressive battles (Mew vs Mewtwo) and, of course, everything thats great in the anime.

MCT:April 24, 2008Largely incompetent despite awesome pokemon. Mews character is severely lacking. Animation is decidedly average.

MCT:April 23, 2008Do you want the long or the short review? Here is the short review:
...
Here is the long version:
Now.. I watched this open minded, as open minded as I could. As a fan of Transformers I realise the two are not dissimilar; both are monstrous toy merchandise machines, certainly in relation to their films (TF 1986 anyway).
Pokemon very... very nearly lost me in the opening "Pikachu's Vacation" cartoon... hell I lie, it nearly lost me on the DVD Menu. Wait.. didn't I say I was open minded? I WAS...
The "film" *cough* plays like a TV episode. It is not particularly grand or large scaled; all it does is unveil new characters who, are no better or worse than what we already had. The wow factor... god if it has one... is that there are Pokemon no one has seen before. That being as shallow as this merchandise series is.
I didn't feel sorry for the Pokemon, and their constant repetition of their own names drives any compassion I might have had out of the window. Mewtwo proved most interesting (being the villain and could actually TALK), but only as far as the plot let him, which wasn't far. Genetically modified thing develops superiority complex from being a lab rat.. sorry cat.. but sees the error in his ways after a rather uninspiring "battle". A battle were Ash, the lead hero, kills himself. Yes. He kills himself. Not only was his attempt to run in-between two unknown psychic blasts to stop them fighting highly amusing, I didn't feel any remorse. But don't worry, as speculated earlier in the film *cough* Pokemon tears cured him.
Yes. This film is that sappy.
I would think if Mewtwo held that little compassion for humans, he would have laughed it off. Apparently not.
In total, this fi... uhh.. cartoon, will appeal only if you have been brainwashed enough at a young age to care.
Best bit? Pikachu slapping Pikachu.
Best, most fitting line?
"What can come out of it?
Nothing.
Nothing but pain."
Don't you wish you kept to the short version of the review? -

Better than 2000..but still bad, this is where Pokemon began that slow downgrade to ridiculous. A movie that could have been awesome was a movie that provided morals rather than bad ass pokemon fights like we all were anticipating.

I got out of the craze because too many new pokemon were being revealed; now the older ones are bringing me back! I look forward to seeing this film again!

I remember this movie. Its still one of my favorates, of course I do prefer the Advanced Generation's last two movies (One hasn't been dubbed yet). Pokemon is still my favorate anime and my favorate series and its only natural the movies are at the top of my favorate movies list.
