"I Like Mewtwo and Giovanni."
Giovanni is searching Mewtwo and Ash is protected Mewtwo from getting Giovanni back where Mewtwo belongs.



"Glaring Contradictions But A Decent Movie"
Glaring contradictions:

#1. Team Rocket sends an agent to confirm Mewtwo's where abouts when they already got a satellite image on him.

#2. Mewtwo is presuaded to join Giovanni when it's more than obvious that he could've protected the Pokemon from him.

#3. Mewtwo discoveres he deserves the right to live how he wants when "revived" (healed) by a mystic mineral water, in which other Pokemon can heal the same so he views this as making clones equal with Pokemon. However, when cloned Meowth points out that both cloned and regular born Pokemon see the moon the same way... Mewtwo wonders why he cannot view the Earth in the same way.

#4. At the end, the Pokemon gang gets a balloon from nowhere.

You really have to wonder how the heck the creators did not see these glaring contradictions. Creators test their products over and over again until they think it's perfect in their eyes, movies (series) with contradictions in the same movie is pretty pathetic. Don't let this get you too down though, if you're a Pokemon fan I strongly suggest you go see it.

The story is actually pretty good and the movie does raise plenty of essential questions that children need to ask themselves (I.E., Is safety more important than freedom?). The story is about how Giovanni is still power thirsty for Mewtwo, he has decided once and for all that he will capture Mewtwo... use him as a puppet for his own agenda of ruling world. By binding Mewtwo to his will, not only will he control the world's strongest Pokemon... he'll get an unstoppable army of clones.

This movie may be hugely disappointing for action fans, as it contains a lot of talking throughout the movie rather than action. The movie focuses Mewtwo's struggle to figure out if he belongs on the planet Earth, because he was cloned and not born normally. At the start he belives that the born have a right to live on the Earth and he does not. As the adventure goes on, his viewpoint will be constantly challenged by his two cloned companions.

Referring back to the lack of action, I really don't mind the talking in it. If you really can't take too much talking... then maybe you should skip this movie but I don't recommend it. The movie also sadly doesn't show Mewtwo being the all around badass he deserves to be 24/7 but as said throughout this... the movie really isn't too disappointing. Go see it, have a good time and you won't regret it.




"Where is Mew?"
After I was watching the movie I was like where's Mew. I really don't like Mewtwo but I thought if Mewtwo was going to make a second apperence Mew was too. Mew fans will be dissapionted. But over all I liked the movie a lot. So if your a pokemon fan go ahead and buy it. I gave it four stars cause Mew wasn't in it.



"It was ok."
I don't think dubbers messed this up. It had an extra uncut feature!!!

This is what happened after the movie.

This wasn't as good as the fisrt but still it was pretty good. 1 star left out cause I was dissapointed of the fact mew my fav pokemon wasn't in it!




"Mewtwo's Return- Review"
Personally, I think this is a great movie and not to be missed. Especially, if you have already watched Pokemon-The First Movie. I like this movie because it han a very interesting story line continuing from the previous movie. Mewtwo from the first movie is so cruel, mean and has no sympathetic feeling. But, in this movie, his inner feelings is very appealing. The whole story was about Mewtwo's dilemma regarding on his and his cloned pokemon origin and where they should belong. The part where he willing to rescue humans(in the bus) really touched me cause he was totally different from the previous movie. His act of struggling to protect his own cloned pokemon from Team Rocket's boss really touched me. The part where he stopped the cloned Pikachu from battling Ash's Pikachu fascinated me cause he's the one starting all the battles in the first movie. The most interesting part is the ending. Mewtwo's act of releasing all his cloned pokemon for them to seek freedom rather than keeping them with him nearly made me cry. The whole movie is very, very good! Beside that, the soundtracks in the movie are also very nice. So, those who have watched 'The First Movie' must watch this one as well.
