    You either have to see it or you haven't even considered it...not a "looks okay..." film.

    Everyone should rate Pokemon The Movie 2000 a 10 because it is a great movie. I think it is the best Pokemon movie yet!

    Save your cash and buy the original japanese version. I don't know why everything has to be Americanized lately. LEAVE ANIME ALONE! ._. pokemon became a total stupid and pointless kid show. They keep turning everything into a joke. Just look at cardcaptor sakura. i saw down with subs!

    If you go into the Pokemon movies expecting a children's film, this movie isn't going to try to change your mind by doing anything daring. However, if you are one of the view movie viewers who watch these movies without already deciding your review score, this movie provides a pleasant amount of entertainment. And if you're a fan of Pokemon? You're going to absolutely adore the film. 'nuff said. Expand

    What people don't seem to realise is that THIS MOVIE WAS AIMED AT POKEMON FANS AND KIDS. At the time what kid wasn't a Pokemon fan? Now of course as a movie it is relatively balanced although you can't help but think this is all extremely coincedental. I mean they just HAPPEN to crash onto an island due to a storm (that just appears out of no where) and the island HAPPENS to be having a festival one and Ash HAPPENS to be the chosen one destined to save it. It all seems blatently set up. Otherwise the animation is great for the time as is the soundtrack. Pokemon fans will adore it and others....you may want to give it a try but I wouldn't really recommend it. Expand

    I like the song when the clones and the real pokemon are fighting. I wish I could hear that song every day.

    What have these idiot critics been smoking? Pokemon the Movie 2000 has an amazing plot and a great twist. The bad guy is the bad guy and the good guys along with their team of Pokemon are the good guys. This movie is perfect for kids and adults of all ages.

    I was tempted to go just to throw ice and popcorn at any adults who looked alone. Wisely, I decided even that wasn't worth 6 bucks.

    Better than the first movie, but that's not saying a lot. I hardly consider that a praise.

    This movie makes me wanna hurl. It is a real insult to the whole anime genre and the sad thing is a lot of people tend to base their view of anime off of this franchise and a This movie has very little plot and Ash is still annoying as he is in the show. About the only thing that fits is the music score for the movie.

    Have you critics gone crazy?!!! This movie is the bomb. I'm not a huge fan of Pokemon. I like Digmon. But I went to watch this cause I was bored with my friend Thomas, and we both loved it!!! I have not seen a good movie like this since the first Pokemon movie. I give it a 9 because it did not have a digmon in it so that is what I did not like. I still loved the storyline, but i say digmon should challenge Pokemon to a fight. I think Digmon would win with Greymon cause Greymon is my role model. Expand

    It doesn't appear to be as engaging as the one that came before it and some that came after it. The story won't grab your attention like the original would have.

    Kids deserve better than this. They deserve more respect than P2K is willing to give for the price of a Saturday matinee.
  2. 10
    As good as cut-rate animation that seems to consist of screen savers can be.
  3. Will keep kids happy and parents mildly entertained.
