 "mewtwo returns at last!"This DVD is just great! its one of the best pokemon movies i ever saw! niot only is it good to watch but it teaches u that freedom is important and everyone should be treated as eaquals! its a must buy!! "Where's Mew?"Don't get me wrong I llllllllllooooooooovvvvvvveeeee Mewtwo,but Mew is my all-time favirote and she only appears in 2 scenes! I gave the movie 5 stars 'cause it has Mewtwo in it and all of his cute'n'cuddly clones(Meowth's my fav one!)I really think Mewtwo did the right thing at the end and suprisingly,he didn't even try once to kill Giovanni like I expected. P.S I HATE all Team Rocket except Jesse,James and Meowth 'cause Mewtwo is a super rare pokemon,and they didn't try once to get him. "A good translation? You bet it is!"There are those diehard Pokemon fans who have seen the Japanese original stuff, and are dismayed that when it's dubbed, it gets altered big time, like Mewtwo Strikes Back, where the more questionable stuff is taken out and replaced with more 'kid friendly' stuff, and not to mention the song during the battle between the Pokemon and their clones. But for the next two movies, 4Kids, the company responible for producing the dubbed version of Pokemon, improved with each movie, by not putting pop songs in the middle of the second movie, Revelation Lugia/The Power of One, and then truly sticking to the original story in the third movie. Now it seems that 4Kids is really focusing on doing direct translations, as their work with Mewtwo Returns has shown. They kept the philosophical musings of Mewtwo, who believed that due to his birth, he doesn't belong with the natural born, and neither does the clones he created. As he ponders where the clones have a place in the world at large, the leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni, has located Mewtwo, and wants to reclaim him. In the end, Mewtwo is severly injured(that's right, he's not invincible) by Giovanni's machines, and ends up being rescued to his surprise by Ash Ketchum, the trainer who confronted him in the first movie. There are a lot more details, but I'll leave you to find out what. By the way, even though the packaging claims that Mewtwo Returns is a movie, it was really the first special one hour Pokemon episode that aired in Japan of Dec. 2000. The Second special Pokemon episode that had aired is Pokemon Crystal: Legend of Thunder Raikou, which has all new characters, and doesn't feature any of the regular anime cast. If your deciding whether to get the DVD or the VHS version, get the DVD, because it includes Mewtwo's Origin, the UNCUT version. The one released with the Pokemon the First Movie videos had about ten minutes missing, which delved into the reasons the professor wanted to create a Pokemon that survived the cloning process. He had a daughter, named Amber, that died in a tragic accident, and he hopes through the 'miracle' of cloning, he'll get his daughter back. I won't spoil anymore of this short, but it is not the happy world of Pokemon that the TV series portrays. In short get Mewtwo Returns anyways, it is hardly the level of 'kiddyness' that Nintendo or Pokemon is famous for, and that quailty of this dub is only a sign on how the future dub of Celebi, A Timeless Encounter, will be like. "MEWTWO [DOMINATES] IN ITS NEW SEQUAL!"I got this movie the first day it came out! I was dying to know what happend to Mewtwo! It's the best movie I have ever seen besides Spaceballs. The storyline is great!! In the first movie, Mewtwo erased everyones' memory but forgot to erase Giovanni's memory. Now Giovanni found out where Mewtwo is and wants it to work for him again! The music is good! It's somewhat the same as the first movie's music. Great animation! The only thing wrong is that the movie had some errors. How does Ninetails swim across the lake when it's a fire type?! Mewtwo and Pikachu are my favorites and this movie has both! This is a must for pokemon fans like me! "Mewtwo is back!"Mewtwo returns in this TV special from Japan (i have the English Version) Mewtwo and the clones go to a remote region in Johto. Nobody remembers about Mewtwo except the leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni. Giovanni wants to recapture mewtwo and put Mewtwo in his control. |
