Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome from start to finish!
Review: The Power of One in my opinion is the best pokemon movie. The voice of Lugia was well cast and the plotline was well developed. I liked the musical score, especially "Lugia's Song," the song that the legendary bird Lugia sings and is very key in the plot. I liked the legend and the way it played out. Team Rocket's role in the plotline was good as well. All in all I think the makers did a very good job of using all of the main characters in one movie without it seeming too coincidental. If you're a pokemon fan at all I'd say that this is definitely worth getting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My kids love it, just like the other ones.
Review: Just like the other Pokèmon movies, my kids love them. They like the fact that they can fast-forward/rewind to the exact point they want to see, listen to the commentaries, play the games, etc. I recommend it for kids who love Pokèmon. :o)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Anime. Add cutesiness and prequel, = animation & plot
Review: Yuck! How did Pokemon hit it big!? The plot in this anime/animation floatsom is terrible! And it's like Once Upon A Forest, the message it gives out to little kids is hackyed, and the animation is terrible. And there are 3 sequels to it? Now that is just wrong!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, not great...
Review: This is a good movie for Pokemon fans...beyond that, it may seem a little week. It has a nice story with many good life lessons. Only down fall...it ends abruptly. If it was developed a littel further and not firced to and end, it would have the 5th star!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The second best pokemon movie I ever saw.
Review: This movie was great! I love Lugia. Lugia was cool when he used his airblast which is a neat attack. The airblast is kind of like a hyperbeam attack. Slowking was cool, as well. I liked Artacuno,and Zaptos, and Moltress. Moltress is a fire-type. Zaptos is lightning type, and Artacuno is an ice-type. They are the three legendary birds. In Pokemon 3 Entei is one of the legendary dogs. I do not know where the other legendary dogs were. Unlike the third movie, the second has the three legendary birds, but the third has just one legendary dog. Great Movie. I would recommend it to all kids and adults.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pika PI! *does peace sign*
Review: I really loved this video. I have it on DVD and I've watched it so many times I've practically learned some bits of by heart, like the legend! This video earns an A+ from a girl who's gotta catch 'em all. The merchandise, not just the Pokémon.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: More action-packed than the original
Review: This movie and pre-movie skit had more acion and was livelier than the 1st. The dancing Bellossom were so cute!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Movie!! Disregard the biased
Review: Pokemon 2000 was a vast improvement over the horribly translated First Movie. The voices were above average; not the same re-used voices from the TV show, though I dislike what a brat they made out of Misty, who was very cute and charming in the Japanese version. The dub music, though, indeed rivals the original Japanese score and creates a more exciting atmosphere, unlike the Batmanish music of the First Movie, which was not appropriate (or good) at all. The 3-D effects combined with regular hand drawings, are quite neat, especially the villain's airship. Finally, I'm glad that they didn't change the dialogue too much; most of it was very closely translated and there weren't stupid Team Rocket Puns. Young Anime fans will enjoy this movie, and Pokemon fans should pick this one up. Although I'm extremely disappointed that there isn't a Subtitled Japanese Audio Track on the DVD which is what, might I add, that prevented us from hearing the wonderful original Japanese voices and music from Mewtwo Strikes Back.

On another note, I'd please ask you to ignore the unfair, biased review of a previous review of the day. Reviews should be as unbiased as possible, but when you use phrases such as "movie is a waste of valuable film reel" or "Some-Other-Irrelevantly-Named-Badly-Drawn-Japanese-Cartoon-Character" I think you're going too far.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This movie is a waste of valuable film reel.
Review: What a pathetic edition to the pantheons of the world's movies. Sure, we have a "movie" cashing in on the unquestionable success of the Pokemon cartoon series, but I wonder just how many people actually stopped to realise the movie was simply an inflated episode of the cartoon? or perhaps even just three episodes strung together? This film... so badly that I'm not even going to give an account of the plot (if I did it would simply be a rambling along the lines of "Charmander casts his fire spell on Some-Other-Irrelevantly-Named-Badly-Drawn-Japanese-Cartoon-Character" and a simple repetition of this kind of thing).

The characters are unaddictive (there are way too many of them for starters), the plot trails off in about a thousand direction, the effects are every bit as bad as the cartoon and the language is so simplistic it is hardly going to accelerate children's learning processes (surely something like this designed for children should help them cope with comlpex language skills?).

Such a bad addition to the world of movies is this that it is one of the VERY few movies I haven't seen all the way through - I left after 40 mins to watch a real movie (I think it was Jaws). Okay, so its designed for kids. Big wow - so is the very successful, and far more impressive, Toy Story 2, and A Bug's Life, which appeal to all ages without the non-essential obsession with literally scribbled pictures of pointless magical creatures.

Avoid this movie at all costs. It is a waste of time, money, effort, attention and everything else, and there is ALWAYS going to be a better kids movie out there. Pixar looks pretty good, and you can never miss with Disney.

Oh, and I haven't just slated this movie because I don't like Pokemon, I did it because I genuinely believe it deserves it. The original Pokemon movie is marginally better than this and if you must see Baulbosaur and co. in battle on the big screen go and see Pokemon The First Movie. Alternatively, watch an episode of the cartoon, which is infinitely better and (because it is much shorter) far more tolerable.

Rating: 5 stars
