 "Great, but strange"My sister and I love the cartoon and we both loved the movie. Pikachu's vacation was hilarious in some parts. Mew was really cute and Mewtwo was portrayed really well. The part where Pikachu is crying over Ash is a tear-jerker for my sister and me(both over-emotional girls). There were a couple mistakes that we caught(Scyther-Alakazam) which made us laugh. The only thing I didn't like about it was the whole thing about 'how horrible fighting really is.' I know it must be a moral for kids, but if fighting to win is all Pokemon are used for, where's the lesson in that? Overall it was a pretty good movie and I would recommend it to any PokeFan who hasn't seen it.  "A POKEMON MASTERPIECE"THIS MOVIE IS REALLY COOL,ITS A BLEND OF ACTION, COMEDY,AND GOOD MUSIC,AND ANOTHER NEAT THING ABOUT IT IS YOU GET A RARE LOOK AT TEAM ROCKETS NICE SIDE,AND A FIRST LOOK AT MEW & MEWTWO, [AND IF YOUR SHARP EYED LOOK FOR THREE OTHER NEW POKEMON 1 IN THE MOVIE AND 2 IN THE SHORT BEFORE THE MOVIE] I RECOMEND THIS MOVIE TO ALL POKEMON "TRAINERS AND FANS"!  "Ack! Get thee far away, vile creature!"Normally, I don't give animated movies one star. But this movie is just so worst case scenario that I can't help but utterly destroy it. I know I'm going to get lynched by Pokemon fans for this, but let's face it. This movie stinks! No, I'm not the kind of person who thinks Pokemon are creations of the devil or whatever nonsense they're saying these days. I like the cartoon. I find it charming. Unfortunately, some things should just stay as a cartoon series. The animation style of the series is so wretched that it couldn't possibly look good in a full blown movie. Pikachu's Vacation is cute, but it's incomprehensible and horridly strange. The main movie itself is slow, boring, and inane. It also rudely jackhammers its message into your poor brain. The soundtrack? Dumb. More excuses to show off pop sensations. All in all, I really don't care if this movie is entertaining to Pokemon fans. That's not enough for me or for those who aren't. As a movie, this is one of the worst. It just shows such a complete lack of any creative thought one would expect from proper storytelling. Get far away from this monster and don't look back. "Poor Quality in every aspect."I don't see how any filmmaker or animater could honestly repect this film. The plot is boring, and it teaches kids mindless and unitelligent cartoon fighting with no real point (I've seen how some kids react to this, and it's scary.) This movie looks like it was made in one week. It's sad that a movie like this makes 50 million in one weekend when something as good as "The Iron Giant" bombs at the box office. The animation is horrendous. Mouths moving consits of 2 frames repeated over and over (one with the mouth open, one with it closed), that is a blatent example of lazyness on the animators part. Plus the sound is never in sync. I have nothing against anime. If anything this IS THE MOVIE that gives anime a bad name in America. People pay money to see this, they deserve something good. This is terrible, stay away from it. And if you are a parent, letting your kids see this will damage them.  "Nice for kids, average DVD"The very successful animation series has got his first movie. Ithink this movie is great for kids and almost all the kids will loveit. But besides children there are very few people who like Pokemon and will appreciate this movie. The animation of the movie is the same as in the series and it's some sort of a long edition of a pokemon episode. And it doesn't have a real story so you must really like and know the Pokemon characters to understand and like the movie. And the DVD is very average, especially the picture and sound quality isn't that good. The extra features on this disc are pretty good and are one of the better things on this DVD. And there is also a trailer on it with the second pokemon movie that will come out next summer. But the reason I gave 3 stars is that kids will love it and will watch it many times. It's also nice for other people who like pokemon, but that are probably the only people who will like this movie and so the DVD. |
