Summary: SMR was much better
Review: Well I'm rating the dub. I always see uncut Japanese DVD last so I can see what was cut. Now I never knew that Pioneer was going to turn Sailor Moon into Austin Powers. I was suprised to see the SMS dub out two days before May 23 at my local anime store, so I bought it. Well at least they kept Kakeru and Himeko's names and didn't change them to something else. But they could have kept Chibi. I mean Sailor Mini Moon? I almost thought Sailor Moon would say Mini-me eventually! It's not that hard to say Chibi. Little or Small or Junior would have sounded so much better. And what's with Pioneer always cutting out the opening! I was totally lost. But Terri Hawkes got into the swing of things. I guess she's finally getting back to her charecter. But when Tuxedo Mask game into the scene as Santa Claus, Vince Corazza over emphisized evil and impertanent. It seemed like he was buying time, but it's sounded good anyway. Overall the movie was good.

Summary: Sailor moon S--the movie
Review: This is a must buy for any sailor moon collection and even those who have never heard the name. The entire series runs around a young teenage girl called USAGI( serena in the english version), who fights for justice. In this movie you will see characters that have never been shown in the series aired in the united states. They are sailor uranus, neptune, and pluto. For those of you who know about sailor moon the movie takes place after the 3 third series. The 3rd series has not been aired in the united stats tho. The movie revolves around luna and her passon for a human that she has fallen in love with. This however is not all. It also consits of battles between the sailor soldiers and the evil ice princess and her dominons. You do not need to see the series to see the movie. It has no foul language or unapprpriate material which makes it a plus for parents wishing not to let there kids see any thing the dont want them to. This movie can be enjoyed by the entire family. If you like this movie then you will also like the other movie already released. It's title is Sailor Moon R-the movie-The promiss of the rose.

Summary: A Girl's Hero
Review: Sailor Moon is a really good movie, And pretty decent too.Girls 14 and under will idolize this pretty,meatball-headed young supergirl. The movie it self might be scary to children under 4, just because the villians are ugly.

Summary: Mini Moon?
Review: I own the subbed and dubbed version of this movie. Ket me say that I found alot wrong with it. Several scenes were cut from the dub. They named Sailor Chibi Moon Sailor Mini Moon. For one thing Chibi means Small or Little not Mini! Is it just me or does Mini Moon conjure the thought of the movie "Austin Power the Spy who shagged me" in your mind? Also the seiyuu for Uranus is all wrong. The seiyuu is too feminine. If they keep that seiyuu for episode 93 it will ruin the whole episode. ALSO (SPOILER)I don't want to ruin it for anybody but does Pioneer? There's a scene from Episode 200 of Galaxia in the opening credit.

Summary: Remember, this is a young woman's/girl's movie.
Review: The plot is pretty uncreative--big ice queen wants to freeze earth, and Luna's love is connected to the whole mess. Usagi has to "risk her life" (like always) and use the Silver Crystal. You can even call it typical Hong-Kong cinema. The plot is not supposed to be the pinnacle of the animation universe. This is a movie about friendship, love, loyalty, the value of life, and courage. You cry for Luna when she must accept she's only a cat. You cheer for Usagi when she takes on "Kaguya" (Ice Lady), and you rally on the soldiers when they fight the snow dancers. An enjoyable children's movie with beautiful, sharp, colorful animation and touching, genuine characters. Generic or not, it's hard to resist the magic and chemistry that is the Sailor Senshi, Mamo-chan, and those two endearing cats.

Summary: Just ice will prevail
Review: One of the usual fan complaints about Sailor Moon's dubbed counterpart is how much of the dramatic tension winds up being filtered out of the story. Now I for one belief that children are quite capable of handling a few more dark themes than they're given credit for and it's really the parents who find a shot of Sailors Venus and Uranus getting slammed into an iceberg all too disturbing, but that's my own frustration with the editing cuts in the S movie. But what the dub lacks in drama, it typically makes up for in humor. More than whatever her current final attack is (one that will probably kill her if she uses it) our english Sailor Moon's most powerful weapon is name-calling. She does it so well that I find myself missing the trait in Usagi when I watch the sub. Unfortunately, the script writers are under the impression that this quirk applies to every character. It worked with Ann in the Doom Tree series, but it doesn't work with the Snow Queen. She shouldn't have that much personality. On top of that, her voice is immature sounding. Particularly when she turns to the camera to deliver her exposition, the only way the dialogue would have worked is if she had spoken the words...well...cold hearted. As it turns out, her english voice actress tries too hard to perform in the role and sadly, it proves counterproductive. This isn't to say that the dub does everything off the mark. Himeko and Kakeru's voices work quite well, to the point where I wished they could have been reoccurring characters. In fact, the entire subplot involving Luna (with Jill Frappier in some of her finest moments) truly is the strength of the video, and I'd suggest it's worth buying based on that alone. Try not to laugh too much at Luna's Ed Wood inspired remark about a human and a cat being soul mates because her next words are some of the most heart felt in the series. I'm glad I bought Hearts in Ice, however it's with no small amount of emotion that I submit I docked my rating a whole star simply because of Pioneer's treatment of the outer senshi. Everything was wrong. The voices weren't deep enough, Neptune needs to be more feminine, Uranus needs to be less feminine, they're not supposed to say the names of their planets in their attacks, and why on earth couldn't Pioneer get the time honored Uranus-Neptune transformation music? "Mini Moon" can be swallowed with a mere flinch. Sanctuary from the snow dancer's Xena wail is a mute button away. But the most unforgivable blasphemy is the Sailor Pluto does not, I repeat NOT scream her attack. How could Pioneer not realize this cardinal rule of the character? Last I heard, Dic was planning to dub Sailor Moon's third season. In that case, I pray to God they don't use this portrayal as their basis for the outer senshi. Anybody have Dic's address?

Summary: A Beautiful Love Story
Review: For those of you who have read my review of "Sailor Moon R: The Promise Of The Rose", you already know I am a completely obsessed Sailor Moon fan (moonie). This movie earns my highest rating for different reasons than "Promise". "Promise" was a much more action-based movie, while "Hears In Ice" is much more a love story. With love between Kakeru and his astronaut girlfriend, Serena and Darien, and others, it combines to make a really sweet movie. The animation is well done (as usual), and all the attacks are wonderfully drawn. Also added in are touches of humor throughout the movie, which make for an even more enjoyable watching experience. This is defintely one for the video collection. Don't hesitate...buy it!

Summary: Less Action, More Movie
Review: the story is typical sailor moon: evil villain wants to destroy the world for personal benefit. sailor moon & co. stop evil villain in a great action scene with terrific music. love triumphs over all in the end. sailor moon fans have seen it before. the Sailor Moon S movie is a must-see for sailor moon fans, not because of english dub weaknesses (of which there are many; but the dub has its strengths too), or because it's sailor moon, or because it's better than the other two movies (which it is not, in my opinion) but because it contains that great jewel of the sailor moon series: character depth. the whole thing that makes the sailor moon series enjoyable is the fact that the characters are capable of so much emotion that they feel real, despite the fact that they are animated. luna's love for kakeru is poignant, usagi's love for mamoru is heartfelt, the outer senshi make a great addition to the movie, and the music is terrific as usual. the R movie has a better plot, and the SS movie has a weaker climactic scene, leaving the S movie comfortably ranked among the movies. definitely one for the video (or DVD) collection.

Summary: Top Reason to See This: Luna as a HUMAN
Review: I bought the subbed version through Amazon. Pioneer did a pretty good job and was similar to VKLL too! and VKLL did an awesome job with the R and SuperS movie. The original music was beautiful. Of course being that this is S.M. there were some very funny points in the movie. Usagi and Chibi-Usa's hijinx it made the movie enjoyable. Although there was some humor this was not completely a comedic film. It was mostly a drama with heartfelt pitty on poor Luna who fell in love with Kakeru (an astronomer.) Like the other movies the developement of the characters has been expanded compared to the original japanese version. There is a point in which Luna (while still a cat) cries her sorrows out to Usagi, it makes you feel her pain and suffering as well. In the end your tears will vanish away with smiles.
