Summary: Bad Movie, Japanese Version Better.
Review: Okay, this movie was just so bad I couldn't stand it, the music was awful! The Japanese Version had much BETTER music! The Plot was weaker than the Japanese Version,and they excluded the cards that they sold in the Japanese Version for this movie.I hope they dub Lugia better than this..

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pokemon: The Movie (Mewtwo Strikes back)
Review: The very First of 3 Pokemon movies. In this movies we finally get to see Mewtwo, and Mew. i thought this was a great film for the Pokemon series. A little darker than the T.V. show though. Basically Mewtwo is created, and he summons the best trainers aroudn to come and battle at his island. The story unfolds there. This video also includes the short film Pikachu's Vaction. It's all about how Pokemon act when humans aren't around

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mewtwo Strikes Back
Review: I loved this movie! It was like watching a episode but a little longer.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Movie that is a must buy
Review: When I saw this movie in the theatres, I really liked it. It seems much better than the show. The plot is good, and the story is awesome. The added computer generated effects by 4Kids really made this movie look cool. But of course, a movie can't have a perfect rating, there's always something in the movie that you couldn't have liked. One was that 4Kids re-wrote some of the script to make it more "dramatic". Another thing was that there were cuts. I haven't seen the original yet, so I don't know what cuts there were.

I know some of you die hard anime fans are like "why were there cuts?" Well, the answer to this is because the dubbers don't want angry parents to bomb them with letters when something "bad" is shown. So honestly, the only cuts were the cuts that "they" thought were unneccesary.

In conclusion, you really should see this movie if you're a Pokémon fan. And when subtitles for the original come out, you should try and get that too. Four Stars out of Five.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Utterly disgusted with WB
Review: Please listen to this view, for the uninformed who have notseen hide nor hair of the Japanese version. I really hope this isposted. Well, I rate this movie two stars. This is Japanese art. It shouldn't be spoiled by "popular music" and 20 minutes worth of cuts! Let's just summarize this review saying that WB took out all the emotion and excitement out of the movie and replaced it with ridiculous dialogue and mushy music. This review was written in hopes to encourage a subtitled version of this movie, to show some of us what this movie is REALLY about and correct the wrong the WB brought upon this once excellent movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Mom's perspective:
Review: My review is purely from a parent's perspective:

I have twoboys, 9 and almost 11. They love Pokemon. They loved Ninja Turtles,Power Rangers, Star Wars, etc. so you know they are prone to being led by commercialism. Pokemon encourages nurturing, caring, and ideals like honesty, acceptance, and forgiveness. The good trainers protect and care for Pokemon. The bad guys exploit them and put their own selfish motives ahead of the Pokemon. The middle-can-be-turned-around characters learn from their mistakes and are forgiven by the main characters. Even Jessie and James occasionally show remorse and are treated with compassion.

Do Pokemon battle? Yes. Unlike Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, and Star Wars, however, a Pokemon doesn't have to be hurt or killed to be defeated. Their weapons are inner strengths that they are born with. And no trainer worth his salt lets his Pokemon get injured. It's not hard to take the lessons from Pokemon and apply them to the reality of the child.

It's like Beanie Babies -- I know they're making a fortune leading our kids around by the nose. But it's relatively benign and I watch every video with them to make sure nothing changes. On a long trip in the truck, I let them play the two CD's -- the music is actually very enjoyable for me (and I'm 46!) and contains no bad language.

And I liked Pikachu's Vacation film much better than the actual Pokemon movie... but my boys loved both!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I wish I saw the Japanese version.....
Review: Kinda cheeesy. Mewtwo's voice bugged the heck out of me. I onlywish I saw it in it's original form(with subs of course!).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: English, Good. Japan, Bad.
Review: I presonaly loved this movie (Except for Pikachu's Vacation). It had a good plot, good charictor's, and very nice animation (Except for Machchamp, who looked like his arm's got put together with conect them yourself toys). The Japan version had a thin plot, Mewtwo just wanted to destroy because he wanted to destroy. Then when they stopped fighting, there was no reason to, they just...stopped. The English is much better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back
Review: All in all, a great movie, although there are a few flaws. I will first name the few drawbacks that kept this movie from a five star rating: Shallow plot in the most part, little dialogue, and childish theme. However, for those true pokefanatics out there, the many pokemon battles are astounding and exciting. If I were Siskel or Ebert, I would certainly give this movie 2 thumbs up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVD!
Review: This movie is exellent! I loved it at the theaters. It was so cool watching Mewtwo and Mew fight it out. Another thing that was cool is Pikachu Vacation mini movie. I got some real laughs over there though their really was just only pokemon. The best part is when Raichu and Pikachu battle it out in a race. It also showed some pokemon from Gold and Silver. But even if you saw it at the theaters... STILL BUY IT. Chances are that you didn't get a card but when you buy the VHS or DVD you get the Mewtwo Promo card (I think it's a promo card. If not just know that it is a Mewtwo, and it has the same attacks of the promo Mewtwo.) with a different picture. You also get both Mewtwo Strikes Back and Pikachu's Vacation and a bonus..... A PREVIEW OF THE SECOND MOVIE!
