... View MoreAs someone who likes the Pokémon games and has grown up with Pokémon but isn't a kid anymore, I can't say this is a good movie. This movie has a very confusing plot with way to many subplots. Too many things have to be introduced in a world where a lot of things are already hard to accept. The movie could even be the same even without Pokémon in it. It has absolutely nothing to do with the games and barely something to do with the TV-series. But if you consider it to be independent, it is not a movie that shows many new things. A lot has been seen in other, better anime movies. Pokémon already has an interesting world, that can be explored. It can show great action in Pokémon battles. Non of that is shown in the movie. Battles are only shown shortly in the beginning. Also every Pokémon movie seems to rely on telepathy. I would like to see a movie, that is expressive enough to let Pokémon be able to not speak. Overall a movie that is watchable, but only a must-watch at the utmost for very young Pokémon fans.
... View MoreI am a 13 year old, as far as I remember, I saw the first episode of Pokémon when I was in KG. Right from that day till now, I love Pokémon! I have seen each and every episode of Pokémon till the diamond and pearl season. I have just finished seeing this movie, and this is the first time I am seeing Pokémon after almost 2 years!After I finished seeing the movie, my eyes were filled with tears! I just remembered the days when I was a kid, I used to get up in the morning, run down the stairs and switch on the T.V, turn into Cartoon Network and start seeing Pokémon imagining that how would life be if Pokémon was real, turn on my DS and start playing Pokémon! Ah! Those were the days!The whole plot of the movie is great, the soundtrack is awesome and the animation is better than the previous movies. I have seen all the Pokémon movies released and this is the best one among them!
... View MoreThe eighth in a series that as of this month will run at least ten movies, "Lucario and the Mystery of Mew" spins a surprisingly taut tale, hitting the targets that the first, Mewtwo-centric movie misfired on. In addition to the title Pokémon, the movie also features three creatures called Regirock, Regice and Registeel, strange beings (even for Pokémon) that have braille writing in place of faces and empty, robotic personalities that give them a truly frightening presence.The ending, in which two important characters to the story are shown dying, is surprisingly powerful for a Pokémon series moment.I highly recommend it for anyone who's ever been a Pokémon fan. Casual fans will likely enjoy it, too.
... View MoreI only watched this on you tube rather than give it a rental or even own it. That said, I did like the opening sequence which gives the complete history of Pokémon. However, after that it begins to go down hill and becomes another advanced generation episode with the same old paper-thin, immature, predictable plot, annoying characters (like Max and May), and same old third-rate pop songs from the show. I did like the animation though, and how Lucario had to understand humans, but with the inclusion of Mew, it kind of lost its "umph". I only recommend renting it to see what it is like. The third movie still ranks even with the test of time as the number one Pokémon movie
