 "Short but good"Pretty much every thing about this movie is good. The animation is exellent, the music is beautiful (it's the same as the first movie) and the characters are very well done. Mewtwo is acually pretty gental and he's convinced that him and the other cloned pokemon are not of this world (He makes that very clear) but he's still pretty powerful, and Ash is so sweet^_^. If you're a poke'fan you're defenetly gonna want to see it. "MEWTWO IS BACK"Okay,i love lugia but it's so cool to see mewtwo again.And mew is not in this one for some reason.The story:it starts off with ash,misty and brock walking around johto to catch a bus.Mewtwo and the clones live on a tiny island.Then at night this poke scientest guy and a girl named domino come to visit ash and them.They try to climb some mountian to get some special water that heals people and pokemon.Giovanni finds mewtwo on his little hiding spot.They figure out that domino is acutally a TR member.They meet up with mewtwo....well,you get the story.It may not have a mini movie or be to long but it's still great "I'm not reviewing the dub, just the original."I have only seen the Japanese version of this special (it's not a movie - they aired it on TV and stuff). So that is what I review. It is just as beautiful as the first movie (Myuutsu no Gyakushuu), and gives it closure. And Domino is everything you want a Rocket to be. ^_^ The art, animation, and background music is just lovely. And then you've got those great songs "OK!" and "To My Best Friend." This is a fabulous work of art that should be in every Pokemaniac's collection. :) Now then... once I watch the entire Raikou Special, and you can review it here, I'll give all ye people my two cents. ^.^ "I am a pokemon addict"I thought it was like better than cast-away, and Titanic and Pearl Harbor put together. It had the best plot twists and romantic climax I have ever seen. Peace out.  "Second best of the four"Pokemon 4: Mewto returns, is the direct sequel of the first Pokemon movie. In my mind, it was considerably better than the second and third pokemon efforts (I thought they relied too much on total inanity). It is basically a solid film, and if you understand and are appreciative of the pokemon corpus you are more than likely to enjoy this film. Team rocket plays an especially appealing part as one gets to view them as a neutral force compared to the direct evil of the team rocket higher-ups. Speaking of which, agent 009 (team rocket's female version of James Bond) is an especially appealing character on many levels. At any rate, the film does as well as any film that is based on a half hour cartoon can do. It doesn't try to reach the emotional heights (and lows) of pokemon 1 (a truly stirring work), but in my mind, that reflects wisdom rather than incompetence (no need to repeat what has already been done). Again, for pokemon fans this is a sure bet. For those of you you with an open mind, give it a shot. Cheers. |
