It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Organizing a personal Pokémon Movie Marathon (22 films) makes it less difficult to distinguish the differences between the Pokémon films and it is fun to observe their growth. However, I can't tell which Pokémon films is the best yet even though I have seen all of them before long ago as I watched them in different years and I do not have perfect memories.At this point, I am just done rewatching one quarter of all Pokémon films ever released by Pokémon but I think I have identified one thing from watching Mewtwo Returns (2000); this is how Pokémon films should have been from the start!Mewtwo Returns (2000) is a follow up to Pokémon the First Movie. It may be confusing to those of you who have not seen Mewtwo Strikes Back (1998) and the short anime The Birth of Mewtwo but if you do, you will notice that this one has a better script. The characters are not that flat anymore by being more lively and expressive, just like its TV anime series. However, like almost everything else in the world, it is not perfect but still interesting to watch.It champions equality, wonder and nature of life, which leisurely reveal to us the charm of Pokémon world in addition to revealing to us more about Mewtwo! Although Mewtwo appears to be less invincible here, it has a softer heart and a much enlightened mind so that development is a must watch for Mewtwo fans!

I've never seen Mewtwo's mouth so big before, but I don't really care anything about that. Besides, I love anime, and about half the characters are cutie-pies. (Pikachu, Wigglytuff, Chikorita, Togepi, Etc) I also kind of think Mewtwo is sort of hot... don't ask. It's mostly just his voice. I like how in the first movie he's determined to wipe all humans and most Pokémon off the face of the earth, but then in this movie he's kinda nice. I think one of my favorite scenes is when he's in the water of the spring. And the lesson all this teaches is that life is what it is, and everyone deserves to live it, no matter who you are. Speaking of which, I don't care what others think of Pokémon or anything to do with it, I still like this movie. ^_^ Hence, the comment title, A Beautiful Disaster. Thank you.

I have loved Pokemon ever since my friend introduced it to me in 1998, was fond of the first movie, and am pleased with the sequel. Mewtwo is back! He may not fight much in this movie, but I would still recommend it to any anime fan! WARNING! Seriously, this is an important message, or at least I think so! This movie has at least one scene that might scare smaller children, so if you're planning to buy a Pokemon movie for a fan 7yrs. or younger, think it over first, you may want to buy a different one until the kid is a little older. All of them have violence, but I would recommend Pokemon 2000 for children who can't deal with scary scenes or death. Yes, some of the Pokemon movies contain death, but there's no blood, so anyone who can handle death in movies can watch. Anyway, if you want to learn more about this movie, watch it yourself! The only reason I have the spoiler warning on all my reviews is so just in case the staff thinks that my review contains a spoiler, I don't get in trouble! :)

This movie's short, but it's great! I enjoyed watching Ash and co. re-introduce themselves to Mewtwo and bringing back all of the clones! The Pikachu and Meowth clones are great! And Giovanni tries to get Mewtwo back again! What'll happen? Find out for yourselves!
