    Mewtwo is a really cool character idea. It's a cool story line and I really like it. The only thing that I'm commenting on the bad side is that Pikachu's vacation is cheesy.

    Foolish, preposterous, a big wannabe tearjerker that probably is to the genuine Pokemon fans.

    It was a great movie...it explains that violence is NOT the answer to everyone's problems. Some are even willing to sacrifice their own lives to save someone they care about or love.

    I think it was very cool, and I found out that violence is not the answer.

    Lacks everything that could have made it a good film, takes advantage of the fact that children are going to see it regardles how awful it is and thus doesn't try to be anything good.

    A great movie, with some big poetic moments and some portions of very good music, that only failed in trying so hard to show every Pokémon possible to be shown and including some out-of-context music (commercial songs, and at some times unapropiate soundtrack). But, in the overall, a memorable animated film.

    Under average. A great beginning spoilt by a middle and ending that goes on.. and on.. and on. Not to mention that the animation is sub-par and if it was better than it was in the tv-shows this would have had a five.

    The only good Pokemon movie ever made (although I thought the commercials for Pokemon 2000 were cool). I have very fond childhood memories of this movie, and I always watch this movie to relive those good memories.

    I'm a massive fan of all things Pokémon so I found it really hard to dislike, but if i had to I would say that I didn't like the friendship moral's but I guess that just comes with it being a film targeted at kids.

    It is great for Pokemon fans and decent enough for some others to enjoy it. The story may come off as a surprise to some.

    Chances are you're most probably a fan of the television show if you see this movie. Or at least you should be because only a real PokéManiac would like everything about this feature, even the not so good aspects. Noticeable differences from the anime include better animation (larger budget no doubt) which is this film's strong suit, but sadly it more or less ends there. The story is rather bland and stereotypical, especially the abrupt ending. The music seemed strange and although easy on the ears it didn't match the mood of the flick.… Expand

    First the TV show, then the video games, the playing cards, the books, the clothes, and now the movie -- the dreaded movie.

    It's just a sound-and-light show, linked to the marketing push for Pokemon in general.
