 "At Last! Mewtwo Lives."For many of us that saw the First Movie, many of us were wondering about the ORIGIN of this mysterious Pokemon. Well, now we find out! This movie adds a darker element to the world of Pokemon, by explain Mewtwo's origin, and his travels after the the first movie. A definiate must buy for anyone wanting to know more about this very elusive Pokemon. (...) "Oh This Is The Best Movie I've Ever Seen in my life!!!!!!!!!"This is SO cool! It's better than the Matrix and Mary Kate and Ashley's mall adventure (a very good movie by the way) I personally think it deserves an academy award for best picture and best actor(Pikachu). I totally disagree with that ... and think ...so in conclusion, buy this dvd because it is the best movie EVER. P.S. My favorite pokemon's Togepi And I hate Mewtwo(but its still the best movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!! P.s. Im an exchange student in Russia, write me at ... "Mewtwo returns!

"Myuutsuu Ware Wa Koko no Ari – Mewtwo Returns!"A word of warning – this review is based on the original Japanese version, ‘Myuutsuu Ware Wa Koko no Ari’, and not on the 4Kids’ dub. If the US version is cut, don’t blame me. I always hoped that there would be a sequel to the first Pokémon movie, even if it was only to give 4Kids a chance to redeem themselves from their slapdash work. Thankfully, there *is* going to be a sequel, but whether or not the US dub is going to be any good or not is another matter. When I first saw the original Japanese version of this film in July, I thought that it had a somewhat dark side to it, in comparison to the normal Pokémon theme of happy endings and smiling faces. Almost from the word go, we are faced with Mewtwo’s somewhat troubling emotional problems, and I spent most of the hour wondering when he’d finally blow a fuse (...). Just like in the upcoming 4th Pokémon movie (called ‘Celebea – A Timeless Encounter’ in Japan), ‘Mewtwo Returns’ deals with some heavy material in the plot, with some scenes of violence and suffering previously unseen to US Pokémon fans. The basic plot is that Giovanni (I’ll use the US names to avoid confusion) gets wind of the location of Mewtwo’s new home, secreted on an island hiding in what looks like a hollowed out mountain in the film. Giovanni blackmails Mewtwo into going with him by threatening to hurt the other cloned Pokémon living on the island with Mewtwo, and Ash and Co. do their best to prevent this from happening. I don’t want to give away too much about the ending, so if you want to find out, buy the DVD! Despite the departure from normal Pokémon style, ‘Mewtwo Returns’ does not disappoint. We still have the now standard bad jokes and mandatory scenes of group laughter, usually at Team Rocket. Once again, we get to see the Pokémon world through Mewtwo’s eyes – a radically different view from what we’re used to. The seemingly eternal struggle between Mewtwo’s conscience and his violent feelings makes for an interesting subplot, and this is what makes me keep coming back to this film and wondering about it. This film is certainly one for any Pokémon fan’s DVD/video library, and I truly hope that it is not spoiled by the 4Kids dub. ~Sakurai Charizard  "Interesting Idea, but it really would scare little kids."I have a Japanese copy of this move, so I can't say much about what's said, but Giovanni is seeking to reclaim Mewtwo for some reason. I don't want to spoil the movie for people, but this movie could really scare kids 7+under due to some scenes where it appears Mewtwo is being tortured by Giovanni, nothing graphic, but it probably would upset some kids. It was an interesting movie that really shows off Team Rockets Gadjets to the fullest. It also introduces a rocket named Domino, who, for those who have seen Sakura Wars, is very much like Sumire, some Professor guy, some green-haired girl with glasses, and a few others. Any Pokemaniac, Giovanni fan, and/or Mewtwo fan will appreciate this movie. there may be an ad for Pokemon 4 on this tape, which was something seemingly missing from Pokemon 3. |
