 "Disapointed"This movie isnt like the series, its rather crappy. Some of the effects are good but the storyline is dull and boring and I was very disapointed. If you must watch this movie, I highly recommend you rent this before wasting youre money on it.  "If only...."*Sigh* When I first saw this movie, I loved it. I was obsessed with it, I had no negative comments on it whatsoever except maybe the crappy DVD/VHS box art, but now... I am a Pokemon Fan. Unlike most low raters of this movie, I am not giving it a two due to being biased against it, as I am an avid Pokemon lover, but the story behind this movie is just plain sad(sad as in sad, not pathetic) The plot of this movie, in a nutshell, is Mewtwo, a super-powerful pokemon is resentful toward his human creators and wants to destroy them and take over the world, but then lures Pokemon trainers to an island fortress to clone their Pokemon and them pit them against the originals to prove that clones are stronger. Do you know what the plot, in a nutshell, was in the JAPANESE version? They cut out the long, twenty minute beginning of the movie which may have been the best part: Mewtwo as a baby talking with a girl and three other clones about life and who they are. Then, in the main movie, Mewtwo, who has been created for the sole purpose of fighting, clones trainers' Pokemon in order to destroy all humans and allow clones to live not as the products as science. But when confronted by the trainers, Mewtwo, after having been told his sole purpose in life is to fight, pits the clones and originals against one another and they fight because they believe that their lives are not meant for anything else. Nearly all Pokemon fans with a brain want to horribly maul the Engilsh dubbers for how they mutilated such a wonderful Japanese plot. For a long time I wondered why they changed it, until I realized, after a conversation about plot with my younger sister, the plan behind it. Little kids don't like plot. They cant register depth, they don't comprehend theme, and meaningful plot means nothing to them. "I'm stronger than you so we'll fight to see who's better," on the other hand, is what they live for, and I think it's truly sad how this good movie went to waste. Yes, it still is entertaining, and I still enjoy it, and yet...if only there was a way to see how the movie would have turned out if it had been dubbed directly into English, with the original splendor still intact. "Lame!"I never liked Pokemon.And i don't think the movies are that entertaining.I think that people that made Pokemon are imbeciles. And no i do not recommend this movie.  "Please note i give it 111111111111002 moons"THis is a movie!!!!!!!!! do you like movies?? then you will like gay am=nimals like mew and mew2 "fighting" ya. THey fight and the gay boy named ash turns to a sexy rock. because all the poke people fight and make him a rock. he cries. and cries. and cries. like a little gay baby. that i eat. he is fagified. lalalalalala. "the best pokemon movie of them all"i cant believe you idiots thought this movie was not that bad.it was better than the other pokemon movies.i saw the 1st 2 movies in theatres.you better get it together people |
