Summary: The best Sailor Moon movie
Review: I get the Sailor Moon movies from Netflix. When I ordered this one, I thought it was the best Sailor Moon movie ever. I can't really remember it though. I've only seen it once. The Sailor Moon movies i'm dying to get are Black Dream Hole, Pegasus Collection volume 2 (I've seen the first already), Sailor Moon the series volume 2, and The Return of Sailor Moon (witch I can't get on Netflix). I am a big fan of anime my two favorites are Yu-Gi-Oh and Sailor Moon. This is a MUST see movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: pretty good
Review: this one didn't quite meet the standards set by the first movie, however it is still good. the animation is on par with the sailor moon r, its just lacking in the story department. an ice queen from the moon comes down and attempts to freeze the planet and add it to her collection of frozen worlds with the power of a gem that fell to earth. at the same time, luna is falling in love with the man who found the gem and takes care of him as his health is affected by the gem. and for all you luna fans, she gets her 15 minutes in this movie with a little time as a human. sailors nepune, uranus, and pluto also appear in the movie. overall, its still a good dvd and a must have for any sailor moon fan, its just not as good as the first.

Summary: Memories
Review: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon brings back so many memories. When I was very young and Sailor Moon first came out, I found it by fate by flipping the channels. Back then no one else watched it and it was on at 6:00 in the morning. Many years later I reunited with it and then I ordered the Japanese episodes fansubbed. The Japanese episodes were amazing. Back then their was no official distributer, so I ordered from a fansubbed distributer. The Japanese version was so different form the American version. It was completely different. I love both versions though. The English version brings back memories from my childhood while the Japanese version is uncut. It's fun comparing the episodes and seeing how much was changed. This version, however, is the edited and changed. It cuts out many scenes and makes a lot of changes. While it has changed a lot from the original Japanese version, it's great for a trip down memory lane, and brings back my childhood memories. This volume has very important episodes. This volume has many romantic with Usagi and Mamoru, my favorite couple. Serena/Darien and Usagi/Mamoru are my favorite couple. It brings back memories from your childhood. Tuxedo Kamen is so wonderful and charming. He is my favorite anime man. I love Tuxedo Kamen. He is a wonderful character. I love Tuxedo Mask.

Summary: The Best Sailor Moon Movie
Review: My title says it all, I love this movie! Not only does it include all the Sailor Scouts (Except Sailor Saturn), but it has a touching story, and an ending that gives you the oppurtunity to see a side of the most-focused-on character, Luna, that many of us have never seen before. Actually, the whole movie talks about Luna, and her feelings, which is a change. Usually the focus is Serena, or one of the other Sailor Scouts.

I loved getting to see all of the scouts' transformations and attacks, especially Uranus's attack "Uranus World Shaking", and Pluto's transformation, in which she ends in a glamorous pose. I thought the story was so romantic, and although a tiny bit strange, still touching, and adorable. The villain, Princess Snow Kaguya, and her snow dancers can be a little bit irritating at times, but prove to be at least fairly decent villains.

If you like Sailor Moon, you'll love this movie! And if you're simply someone looking for a taste of Sailor Moon, this is the movie I'd recommend to you to introduce the Sailor Scouts, and what you'll be seeing in Sailor Moon books, movies, etc.

CAUTION: Not all Sailor Moon products are clean, many of them aren't. This movie is decently clean, but the manga and a particular season of the TV series were very inappropriate. You may not agree, but I still wouldn't recommend anything Sailor Moon to anyone under twelve or thirteen.

Summary: My Favorite Sailor Moon Movie
Review: At the moment, the Amazon page for this movie is a bit screwy. It lists the description and mingles versions of the Sailor Moon S movie with SuperS. These are **two different movies**. Amazon, please fix this page.

Anyway, this movie also known as "Black Dream Hole" is largely about Chibi-Usa (Rini) much like the SuperS series itself. Don't be discouraged however! It's a very fun film even if you're not a fan of Sailor Chibi-Moon (Mini-Moon in the dub).

This is the last time we hear Terri Hawkes (Sailor Moon), Sabrina Grdevich (Pluto), Tracey Hoyt (Mini-Moon), Stephanie Morgenstern (Venus) and Karen Bernstein (Mercury) voice the characters that they have done in the first two seasons. The next two seasons were recorded after the movies.

Keep in mind that this is the debut for Lafleur as Uranus and so she voiced her very femininely compared to her more appropriately tomboy performance in the series. Neptune is consistent ... in using the exact same voice as Sailor Moon's mom. The original Pluto breaks from her perfect performance at the end of the second season; the director has the actress (featured in Spielburg's AI... see the Amazon page for her photo on the upper left of the DVD cover) voicing the character completely differently.

That said, avoid the dub on any of the three movies. The movies mark the final appearence by many of the original cast members. However, the direction is abyssmal and the sometimes wonderful English cast isn't even sometimes wonderful in these films. The translations are also at their worst with the movies. Oddly, according to the credits Optimum has maintained the same writers throughout four seasons and movies; the scripts are not by DiC or CWi as many fans insist. These writers are reportedly under strict time constraints and are consistently inconsistent with their adptation of the english translation. Fortunately, the DVD includes the original Japanese audio track with English subtitles.

The movie itself features excellent animation theatrical quality work. The famous Japanese cast does an outstanding job. This movie is the most kid friendly of the three, especially compared to the S movie's topless villain-who Cartoon Network aired completely for a full barebreasted two hours without complaints... The childlike fairies of these movie and the fun plot is something Sailor Moon fans will enjoy. Neptune and Uranus debut new attacks using their talisman items as shown in the series. Saturn is noticably absent from all three movies, but with so many great characters and a excellent plot there's plenty to enjoy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: outer's messed up!!
Review: This review is for the edited, dubbed version. I have not seen the uncut one.

Hearts in Ice is a beautiful, action-packed, sailor-stuffed movie that will make you cry. For an animated movie, the love story in "Hearts" is as intense as one in any German opera or Russian novel. And, the one struck by Cupid's arrow is not one of our schoolgirls or their chums - it is little Luna.

Every senshi is in this movie, with the exception of Sailor Saturn. We get to see them all work together, ALL their gorgeous transformations, and ALL their attacks. The climatic battle where they all unite is amazing, and had to be saved for a film: it is too cinematic for a thirty-minute TV episode.

The lameness of the villian and her annoying henchmen can be overlooked because of the crisp and gorgeous animation and the skilled voice talents. The winter setting is a refreshing change from the perpetual spring/summer of the series.

I do not feel I have missed out by watching the dubbed, edited version. I own a variety of both sub and dub, cut and uncut SM, so I know what I am saying when I feel nothing has been compromised here. Finally, this movie is not a short one like SM R. It is a full-length feature, so you will get your money's worth, even if you pay list price.
