I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Pokemon The Movie 2000 is a sequel that caters to spoiled brats who do nothing but suck the money out of their parents' and adult guardians' wallets as well as a waste of time on something much better, like the Walt Disney Animation Studios films, or drawing and colouring their favourite characters from those movies. Like its predecessor, it deserves a Razzie for Worst Foreign Language Film, if such an award existed. This is why I despise Pokemon. It is such a huge cash cow franchise that even it makes the other cash cow Nintendo franchises, Mario and The Legend of Zelda, both of which I love, look underrated. I actually regret being a fan of Pokemon in my childhood. I wish I was never one in any stage of my life.The film has a stereotypical animation style so heavily used in Japanese animation, so cutesy, it is ugly and unpleasant to look at. The voice acting in Pokemon, both the series and movies, is a waste of the actors' careers and talents, both for the original Japanese cast and the English dub cast, but for different reasons. For the former, they work for the quintessential stereotypical animated series of their local country, since that franchise is sickeningly ubiquitous in Japan, that they cater to spoiled brats in the country that have the relentless desire for stereotypically cute animals stored in a ball in their pockets. For the latter, it is a tad worse, since they are voice actors that working with a screenplay that was not written in their language and a thriving cash cow franchise that loves to take parents' and adult guardians' money. The English dub voice actors could have been doing something much better with their careers and talents, like working with Hollywood movie stars in American animated films, but sadly, that never happened. The writing is idiotically formulaic. I know it is written in Japanese, but just because it is written in Japanese doesn't mean it is good. Writing that is written in a foreign language can still be bad. The director, Kunihiko Yuyama, is one of the worst directors in foreign language cinema. The characters are annoying stereotypes of Japanese people, and for that reason, Satoshi, Kasumi and Takeshi, deserve no empathy at all.The Pokemon movies are worse than the direct to video sequels of big budget Disney films, at least those films have redeeming features. The Pokemon films have no redeeming features at all.

The Pokemon series got off to a poor start when the show transferred to the big screen. It was a badly translated movie that served only to alienate parents and confuse even the most die-hard of kid fans. Thankfully, this sequel improves on things by delivering a better story, smarter writing (with a few unintrusive moments of self-aware humor) and more interesting supporting characters.Ash, Pikachu, and the rest of the gang are touring the Orange Islands when a madman called Lawrence III plans to capture three legendary Pokemon, uncaring of the fact that doing so will play hell with the planet's climate. The Pokemon population converge on the Orange Islands and all eyes are on Ash to find a way to stop Lawrence and restore balance to the chaos.Even visually this is such a step up from the first movie. The blues of the ocean, the greens of the forests, and the gloom of the snowstorms really do make it pop with atmosphere. Pokemon has always been a showcase for superior animation as it is a series that is set on the road in a variety of locations. There are vistas in this one that are as good as Miyazaki. Not enough people realize that one of the main appeals of Pokemon is that it takes you places you want to go.For kids and fans of the series I can only assume that this one will get more play time than the original.

I for one, and seeing on the internet I am pleased that there are others that are still unashamed pokemon fans out there It really has been so long since I saw the film. I saw the first and loved it and loved this one first, if this one had come out first then the fan base would've remained stronger and not cut the fans in half.Half leaving and half staying. New Pokemon were brought in this film, they came in the first one as well and then after this there were so many it got ridiculous.But as someone hoping to be a filmmaker one day, I plan to make a pokemon film for the devoted unashamed fans just to stand up for us, and put us all to rest.I love the animation in this film, I love Lugias song. I thought it was funny and moving. I better grab this and the first on DVD before the disappear in obscurity

This Pokemon Movie is an extremely great movie. It was humorous, educational, and enriching. This was an extremely well-balanced movie. I laughed out loud at some parts and I shed tears at others. Another added bonus was a free Lugia Pokemon Card with every ticket. I don't understand why people wouldn't like this movie. It has a very clear plot, superb voicing, and tons of action. Any person, Pokemon fan, anime fan, or neither will enjoy this movie to the fullest. Parents, if you're thinking this is just stupid, mind-numbing violence, think again. This movie demonstrates friendship and teamwork and how working together with anyone can save the world. This is clearly the best of the Pokemon films.
