Summary: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon - Ruined
Review: Well, i watched it, and was very dissapointed. The essence of the original was totally lost. The outers were just awful....They're supposed to be cool. And what's with them being all ditzy and everything? That's not supposed to happen! My reccomendation is to get either the VHS subtitled version or the DVD dub, that dub is somewhat tolerable (plus it comes with the subtitled version too! ~_^), but don't get the VHS dub, this goes for the R and SS movies too.

Summary: Sailor Moon and the Senshi strike again...fantastically...
Review: I enjoyed the "R" Movie very much, and when I watched the "S" dub (which I just finished watching two seconds ago) I was rather impressed. The "S" movie is my favorite, and I enjoyed the english version very much. I had read several online reviews about it, and all of its put downs. First of all, the naming of Chibi-Moon changing to Mini-Moon is not that big of a deal. It's really not! It was quite entertaining when she said it. But, the only big thing I had a problem with was the voices of the outer senshi (scouts). Haruka's (Uranus) voice was okay, but Michiru's (Neptune) was far too deep. And Pluto's was a little odd, because I was looking forward to the voice that was presented in the North American TV show, when Pluto first appeared in the "R" Series. And the thing I found strange was, was that all three voices sounded the same. It appeared as if one person did all three voices. I suggest that for the dubbing of the Series and the Super S movie that they try to get the original North American Pluto back and change the voice of Neptune to sound more refined and sophisticated (and a bit higher) as she appears in the Anime (I own the S, SuperS, and Sailor Stars Japanese epsiodes). But the movie itself is translated very closely, and I found most of the dialogue similar to the original Japanese dialogue. I couldn't see anything that was edited (besides the original transformations, as they always have been and Luna's transformation) but I'm sure there was. I liked Snow Kaguya's voice, and Himeko's. Kakeru seemed a bit off, but believable. There was (at points) an overwhelming lack of sincerity in the voices. If you hear the Japanese version, they are very sincere and emotional. Some parts of it seemed a bit rushed on speech, like Tuxedo's Speech on the sled, but it's very excellent and I am looking very forward to the Super S movie and the release of the dubbed Super series that Optimum is currently producing (it's listed on their web site). Good luck to future productions and to Pionner and Opitimum, kudos and thanks for even considering dubbing the movies! We should all appreciate it. It's a great buy, and a must for Sailor Moon Fans!

Summary: Only avid Sailor Moon Fans will enjoy this one !
Review: When I first purchesed this movie I was so exited, little did I know that it was less then steller. I wanted to think that the other reviewers were exagerating how disappointing it was. But I found them to be correct. Don't get me wrong if you are a fan buy it, it's still a fun change from the monotony of the series. I just want to warn the non avid monnie fan to watch the R movie before this one and not to expect it to be great. The storyline was also hard to follow ,and the voices of the outer sailors were pethetic. Why mini moon? Sailor chibi moon/rini is called mini moon what moron came up with that. It was still fun to see the outer scouts attacks and tranformations. And you get to see luna as a human,they should leave her that way. As a jupiter fan I was unhappy that she had very little talk time. The movie again focused on serena and darian's love. Their in love enough already. I would like to see the other scouts get the spotlight for a while. So I want to caution potential veiwers you won't really fully enjoy this movie unless you are a hard core moon fan.

Summary: Sailor Moon Heart in Ice
Review: I thought this Sailor Moon movie was great! It tells how an evil queen on a comet wants to turn Earth into a winter grave. She uses her show dancers to turn everything into ice until the sailor Scouts intervine. The evil Queen sent a crystal to Earth and it was found by a scientist! As long as the crystal is there it will stuck the life energy out of him. Luna is in Love with him because he saved her from disaster. She wants to help him......... I won't spoil the rest, but this is a truly awesome movie. Really great!I recommend to all Sailor moon fans to buy this!

Summary: Considering it was a dub...
Review: After hearing the mixed reviews, I can honestly say I was quite dubious of seeing the movie. However, I was pleasantly suprised, and believed that it was well done for a dub. Purists (yes, I am one) will have a problem with several aspects of changes made, such as the soundtrack which was not quite as effective as the original, or the voice artists of the outer soldiers which did not quite fit the personalities of the soldiers in the original version (Neptune originally being very feminine, Uranus somewhat masculine, and Pluto having a quieter tone). Even subtle changes that were made in the attacks...Pluto originally whispers "dead scream", wheras in the dub, is is yelled like the other soldiers' attacks; and of course, the planetary name is added prior to the attack--"Uranus world shaking!" versus "World Shaking!" However, in the case of the American dub, this does all correlate, and honestly fits. On the side of the 'purists', we hate to see Sailor Moon changed in so many needless ways from the original version, in that which it takes away from the feeling and emotion that the original version gives us. However, SOME of the changes that were made in the series and the movies alike were in some aspects understandable in terms of content and allowing a younger viewing audience. Therefore, in lieu of the changes from the original, I am basing my rating on just this movie, and NOT in comparison to the original version. The movie does have a great storyline and wonderful visual artwork (the view from space was gorgeous!) and of course, romance! Since I was not focusing on reading lines at the bottom of the screen, I was able to draw more of the movie in, and I can honestly say it was a beautiful story. And as for 'Mini Moon'? No comment.

Summary: Only 4 stars because S is my fav anyway...
Review: Um... Where do I start. Although I am very glad that they dubbed the outer Senshi... WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Why couldn't they keep the dubbed Pluto voice? It was cool! And since when does she scream her attack? And what's up with Ruka and Michi? Haruka is the more "booch" lesbian, and Michiru is the more "elegant" one... When I heard Haruka's voice, I automatically pictured her making a 'W' with her hands and saying "WHAT-ever...". And GEEEZ, Neptune would of sounded better if they had the guy who did Mamoru's (Darian) voice do it. OKOKOK, now moving on... MINIMOON? I'm so sure! Chibi Usa (Rini) is my favorite character and they ruened her with that Austin Powers 'Mini Me' wanna be thing. And how come they can put the outers dubbed names on the toy boxes, but not in the movie? Haruka=Corin, Michiru=Narrisa, Setsuna=Celia

Summary: I'd be repeating what others have said...
Review: ...so I'll just jump to the positive points. I liked the fact that in the VHS version, most of the violence have been left in. So, this just proves that DiC's upcoming episodes won't be as bad as they used to be. Also, the plot was pretty neat, despite the fact that it should have been more developed. But the part that really irritated my ears was the way Luna cried. Since she speaks in the human tongue, she should cry like a human. Also, I agree with the others with Sailoruranus' dubbed voice. When she used her "Uranus World Shaking" attack the second time in the movie, it was a little deeper, which it should be. If this is the dub voice, it should be spoken like this all the time. It would fit in much better. Sailor Mini Moon? I can deal with it. I guess that they chose 'Mini' because it rhymes with 'Chibi'. Now to the partial negative parts. I think that the Ice Queen's voice was a bit too high for comfort. It should have had a more deeper, ominous voice. And those Xena like yells from her minions made me cringe every time I heard it. Also, this movie shouldn't have been shown until the S season actually aired in North America. I did enjoy this movie though. I still do think that DiC is improving. Buy either the dub or the sub.

Summary: WTF! Sub good, dub forking horrible!
Review: I bought this movie dubbed and i didn't really like it. It was Luna's voice didn't fit the character. I didn't like the outers voices either. And I thought some of the lines were bad. So I went back and got the sub. And wow! I never knew what I was missing! The sub was excellent! The music was awsome! I love Sailormoon's japanese voice! The outers sound cooler! I'm so glad I got the sub! I just ordered the R and SS in subtitles. The subtitles are so easy to read! and the dialogue is 100% better. I now do NOT want the rest of the series dubbed! I couldn't stand to see Sailormoon fall anymore! I am looking for the series in subtitles now! i HAVE FIANALLY SEEN WHAT i'M MISSING!
