 "Mewto Returns is the greatest!"For this I give it five stars. For one thing, the sound is great. Mewtwo's anger is really cool, and also that as soon as you see Mewtwo, you don't thingk he does much anything ,but finally you see him make himself and other characters float in the air while the evil Giovanni tries to capture him. It was cool when Giovannii makes those new robots. This movie is great and it's also very funny. Like for example when Brock put his frying pan over his head and then got hit in the head with a giant raindrop and then made all the gang crash down intoa giant tree.  "I eat cockie"Sometimes I sniff my own balls. Even though it's a bad smell, it makes me hungry. So I eat my bum-bum biscuits to sooth my abdominal hunger thrust. Then I fart and poop and fart in between the poops. This makes me happy. So I say watch this movie, and eat my bum-bum biscuits with chocolate syrup.  "okay"THIS dvd is not what i call a movie, its a sequel to pokemon the movie 2, its not that good, it doesnt really have a strong meaning or anything, it like watching pokemon the movie 1,its about clones and team rocket wanting to take mew 2 again, and ash helps him again, the only new thing in this movie is that ash and misty and gang will remember and not forget, and that there is a new pokemon trainer called black tulip and she is like the star of team rocket, and then giovanni tried to build his new factory or hideout in mew2s home, but ash and gang stop him in time and mew 2 sends them to a different world, thats it, if u wanna real good pokemon movie, it would be pokemon 3 or 2 but i recommend pokemon 3 "Where is mew? And why are there nidoqueen's as baby's?"Don't get me wrong if it sounds like i don't like the movie but wheres mew? At the end of the first movie, mew flies with mewtwo and the other cloned pokemon. And why do they have baby nidoqueens in it? Othorwise i Love this movie more than the first. lots of action, and the way mewtwo look's when the two robots are attacking him! this is the best movie EVER!!! "Unengaging"Contrary to the other reviews here, I was left underwhelmed by "Mewtwo Returns." Now, don't get me wrong. I like Pokemon. I'm not a mad fan, or anything, but I like to watch it, and so I picked up "Mewtwo Returns" from a local store that had the price slashed down to a third for clearance. It begins quite promisingly, with the usual Poke-setup of "our heroes" going on their way, and Team Rocket in the background, scheming away, and plenty of puns and sight gags. However, after about twenty minutes (that's a third of the film, kids), it becomes increasingly obvious that not a lot is really going to happen in this movie. Mewtwo is perhaps the movie's main minus point, ironically enough. In "Pokemon: The First Movie," he was a great character because he was so powerful and because he *fought.* But in this movie, he's totally opposed to fighting - and when you consider that the entire Pokemon franchise is BASED on fighting, you know that's not the best thing to focus a movie on. Mewtwo is brimming with angst, and normally I'd say that's a good thing, but in this case, it's totally unengaging angst that anyone who's read a "Spider-Man" comic in the last decade or so will have heard all before. There so little action in this film that's it's painful. Instead, it's just endless soliloquays from Mewtwo, and one particularly monotonous scene where a clone Pikachu yammers on to Ash's Pikachu, and they squeak back and forth as Meowth translates it into possibly THE weakest "dramatic" dialogue that has graced the Pokemon series. When Giovanni and the Team Rocket combat squad arrive, there's a lot of threatening about the possibility of some action actually *happening*... but alas, no. It's just more posturing by Giovanni and Mewtwo. Whenever Mewtwo pulls off his big final stunt, it's all done from a distance, then the screen fades to black, and we come back, and it's all happened off-screen. The dull and cliched "we must protect the environment" sub-plot is hugely unnecessary, and only results in more empty, needless scenes that could be filled with something interesting. The movie's score is dull and sparse - there isn't even any kind of rendition of the Pokemon theme. |
