"The Best Sailor Moon Movie" My title says it all, I love this movie! Not only does it include all the Sailor Scouts (Except Sailor Saturn), but it has a touching story, and an ending that gives you the oppurtunity to see a side of the most-focused-on character, Luna, that many of us have never seen before. Actually, the whole movie talks about Luna, and her feelings, which is a change. Usually the focus is Serena, or one of the other Sailor Scouts. I loved getting to see all of the scouts' transformations and attacks, especially Uranus's attack "Uranus World Shaking", and Pluto's transformation, in which she ends in a glamorous pose. I thought the story was so romantic, and although a tiny bit strange, still touching, and adorable. The villain, Princess Snow Kaguya, and her snow dancers can be a little bit irritating at times, but prove to be at least fairly decent villains. If you like Sailor Moon, you'll love this movie! And if you're simply someone looking for a taste of Sailor Moon, this is the movie I'd recommend to you to introduce the Sailor Scouts, and what you'll be seeing in Sailor Moon books, movies, etc. CAUTION: Not all Sailor Moon products are clean, many of them aren't. This movie is decently clean, but the manga and a particular season of the TV series were very inappropriate. You may not agree, but I still wouldn't recommend anything Sailor Moon to anyone under twelve or thirteen. "outer's messed up!!" I rented this movie from the store and i was shocked by how the outer's sound! Sarah Lafluer can do sailor uranus! but Barbra redecki (neptune) sounds to old and pluto sounds like a 10 year old! And Badianu?? what kind of name is that!. this movie is beautifuly animated. One thing is that they should have changed the attack names for the outers! SPACE SWORD BLASTER! should have been URANUS SABER BLAST! and SUBMARINE REFLECTION should have been NEPTUNE DEEP REFLECTION! I was really mad when pluto uses PLUTO DEADLY SCREAM! she sounds insane i liked it better when it was just wispered dead scream. but over all this is a farly good movie. "An Enjoyable Adventure" At the moment, the Amazon page for this movie is a bit screwy. It lists the description and mingles versions of the Sailor Moon S movie with SuperS. These are **two different movies**. Amazon, please fix this page. Anyway, this movie also known as "Black Dream Hole" is largely about Chibi-Usa (Rini) much like the SuperS series itself. Don't be discouraged however! It's a very fun film even if you're not a fan of Sailor Chibi-Moon (Mini-Moon in the dub). This is the last time we hear Terri Hawkes (Sailor Moon), Sabrina Grdevich (Pluto), Tracey Hoyt (Mini-Moon), Stephanie Morgenstern (Venus) and Karen Bernstein (Mercury) voice the characters that they have done in the first two seasons. The next two seasons were recorded after the movies. Keep in mind that this is the debut for Lafleur as Uranus and so she voiced her very femininely compared to her more appropriately tomboy performance in the series. Neptune is consistent ... in using the exact same voice as Sailor Moon's mom. The original Pluto breaks from her perfect performance at the end of the second season; the director has the actress (featured in Spielburg's AI... see the Amazon page for her photo on the upper left of the DVD cover) voicing the character completely differently. That said, avoid the dub on any of the three movies. The movies mark the final appearence by many of the original cast members. However, the direction is abyssmal and the sometimes wonderful English cast isn't even sometimes wonderful in these films. The translations are also at their worst with the movies. Oddly, according to the credits Optimum has maintained the same writers throughout four seasons and movies; the scripts are not by DiC or CWi as many fans insist. These writers are reportedly under strict time constraints and are consistently inconsistent with their adptation of the english translation. Fortunately, the DVD includes the original Japanese audio track with English subtitles. The movie itself features excellent animation theatrical quality work. The famous Japanese cast does an outstanding job. This movie is the most kid friendly of the three, especially compared to the S movie's topless villain-who Cartoon Network aired completely for a full barebreasted two hours without complaints... The childlike fairies of these movie and the fun plot is something Sailor Moon fans will enjoy. Neptune and Uranus debut new attacks using their talisman items as shown in the series. Saturn is noticably absent from all three movies, but with so many great characters and a excellent plot there's plenty to enjoy. "One of my favorite movies" This movie is focused on Luna and an astronomer kakeru who saves her life from getting hit by a car, and takes care of her when she is sick. He discovers a stone that was sent here by princess snow kaguya who plans to freeze the earth. The animation on the dvd is so much better than the vhs. If anyone is saying to themselves ill buy the vhs because its just sailor moon and its cheaper. Don't, because its not worth it. With this dvd you get japanese and english language. English Subtitles, and great animation. What more could you ask for. "My Favorite Sailor Moon Movie" This movie brings so many emotions. Love, friendship, trust, faith, saddness, and even anger. Luna's love for Kakeru was so touching and entertaining. I enjoyed Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto's appearences as well. Uranus is so determined, Neptune so glamorous, and Pluto so smart and mature. I also liked to see Rini fight, and do her little scout transformation. I would tell you my favorite part of the movie, but that would give away the ending. All I'm going to say is that it has to do with Luna. All in all, I'd say this movie is a must-see for any Sailor Moon fan! Definately worth your time and money! Besides Sailor Moon, I'm also interested in Mew Mew Power (Tokyo Mew Mew), a slightly cuter version of Sailor Moon. I would recommend that to any Sailor Moon fan as well. |
