Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 66 Average rating: 4.5 "One Word: Great!" OK, I just love this! First, of all, the animation in this is much better than that of the typical episodes, and more like the movies. I thought it'd be nice to see Mewtwo, and it's better than "nice", it's just plain great. I really suggest getting the DVD, because besides the film it has the cut "Amber-Two" scene from "Mewtwo Strikes Back", the opener to the forth season, and all three movie trailer. But, darn, no director commentary! "It looks great but..." I am a TOTAL pokemon freak but this is kinda weird!Some people all want to see mewtwo again and i heard this is intense!Really,i want to see continues of the 2 or 3 movie!2:Ash and co.just do what they usally do.Then,lugia comes out of the water and tells them about something giovanni did to him.....He then evovles and there is a pokemon battle!Cool,huh? 3:Molly is happy with her mom and dad back but she wishes for rare pokemon.Raikou and sucine appear(Yes,the real ones)and be her pokemon.They then see what pokemon trainers are all about,catching pokemon and using them in battles.They get angry and run off,trying to find there own life while making destrucion.Ash then battles them and tells what it's really all about:friends. NOW WOULDN'T THEY BE COOL? "Absolutely awesome." I loved the dubbed version of this TV special. The script translations were very faithful, the voices were good, and the overall story was just plain enjoyable. The film is pretty much showing what happened to Mewtwo and everyone else after the first film "Mewtwo Strikes Back", and how in the end, everyone's memory from the battle was erased. If anyone had watched the dubbed version of MSB like I did, you'll notice that the dubbed musical soundtrack makes its way back in the TV Special. A lot of the original music does make its way in, however, during the silent scenes of the original version, the score in the dubbed version of MSB was placed in this special as well. The music isn't bad, however, the cues were done rather poorly, and some of the songs were repeated a few times. Where they cut in and cut out didn't sound too well overall, and this was my only beef with this. Some scenes are quite violent, however they are not as violent as the first movie. Still, some of the younger children in the audience may not be too comfortable with some of the scenes, and the older fans of the show may rejoice that no actual footage of this TV special was lost. And of course, it's not Pok?mon if there's no moral to the story, and this story has a very good one. What, expecting me to say it? No way, I'll leave that to you to hear what it's about ~_^. 4Kids has done it again. First, with the faithful translation of the Japanese script with the third movie, and now, an even better job with this TV Special. Now I definately can't wait for Movie 4's dubbed version. "This is absolutely amazing, even for Pokemon. A must-see!" Even at the age of 21, I admit that Pokemon, both the game and anime, are a secret pleasure of mine. I never got hooked until about a year ago, when I finally got tired of hearing pokemon this and pokemon that and decided to see what it was all about. I got a gameboy color and a game and rented the first movie. The rest is history. For pokemon, this story is much darker in nature than usual. It hasn't had this tone of storyline since Mewtwo first appeared. Mewtwo is no longer a desperately angry pokemon bent on vengence, for Ash opened his heart and showd him something he had never seen before. Now all he wants for himself and his fellow clones is to live in peace, far away from humanity, a secluded corner on a world that to Mewtwo, he feels he does not even belong on. However, Giovanni's desire to control Mewtwo never faded. He's tracked down Mewtwo via satellite and sets up a trap to lure Mewtwo back into his clutches. Unfortunately for him, Ash and company are also around. It all comes down to the fate of Mewtwo being soley in Ash's hands.....can he make it? Can Mewtwo ever learn if he does belong to this world....or will he always think himself an outcast? The DVD also comes with a great Bonus Feature--the *uncut* version of Mewtwo's Origin. Folks, there's much more to the early days of Mewtwo's development than they ever showed us before. It involves a girl named Amber (I think she was named Ai in the original), a Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur--all clones. That's all I'll say, but the uncut version is also pretty dark in nature. I cried the first time I saw it. Get this and enjoy it! Sit down, relax! There might not be as much action as in most movies, but trust me, this is definetly worth the expense!!! "A must have" If you are an avid Mewtwo fan or just a Pokemon fan in general then this is the movie for you. It is a very heart touching film. It shows how Mewtwo, and his clones are getting along in their new life. They are living on an secluded island; far from the prying eyes of humans. Where they must live as outcasts; and remain separated from the rest of the world. Somehow, Giovanni discovers Mewtwo, and his little hideaway; and makes an all out effort to capture him again. He goes so far as to blackmail him, and tells him if he does not submit to him; that he will destroy the clones. This leaves Mewtwo with no choice but to obey. What happens next you might wonder? That I will have to leave it up to you to find out. A remarkable film with lots of action, and a lesson that even adults can learn from.
