Summary: A nice movie.
Review: It's a good movie overall. For an overview, read editorial and other customer reviews. Although it would have dome better as a multi-part cartoon, it's still an okay movie. (Although the other Mewtwo Pokemon movie stinks, and is completely illogical.)
If you're a hard core pokemon fan, get it. If not, you might want to take it into consideration. I mean, it's great and all, but it still has the common "cheesines" found in childrens cartoons such as this. (For some odd reason I still enjoy the show.) SO, again, so-so movie, although take into consideration. (They completely messed up Mewtwo with that weirdish personality they gave him.)

Summary: Pokemon The First Movie
Review: Pokemon the Movie was pretty good. I thought that this was a pretty enjoyable movie. The movie starts out by telling the history of the extinct Pokemon, Mew. After a research team found remains of Mew, they decided to clone the DNA and remake Mew. After a successful clone, they called the new Pokemon Mewtwo.

After a few tests of Mewtwo, the evil Giovanni (Team Rocket Leader) then planned to use Mewtwo's powers for the wrong reasons. Mewtwo then revolted, escaped and swore revenge against any all who stood against him. It's up to Brock, Misty, Ash and Pikachu to stop Mewtwo before he destroys everything.

This is a great kids movie. It has a nice soundtrack that the kids will love, the animation is good and it has most of the favorite Pokemon like Pikachu, Charizard, Gyarados and many more plus the addition of Mewtwo and Mew. Anyone into the series will like this one.

Now of course, you have to be into the series somewhat to understand parts of it but still, Pokemon is a little more basic than say Cardcaptors, Digimon, etc so even if you're not up to speed with Pokemon, you'll get it pretty quickly. Pick this one up for your kids because they'll enjoy it and you might even get a kick out of it.

Summary: This is the best movie i have ever seen
Review: I am a huge fan of pokemon and i saw this movie when it first came to theatres. It was a dark movie which is a good change and it had a great soundtrack, especially where they battle. It was really cool where they had the hero die because it holds you in suspence untill you relise he's alright, i was almost in tears from the expression and music when it happened. I don't know what people don't like about this movie but i enjoyed it so much it couldn't have been any better and i'm 17.

Summary: Ehhh...
Review: To me, this was not a good movie. The movie is basically about a genetically engineered Pokemon named Mewtwo who feels thet humans want to control him and he sets out to control the world with his Pokemon clones.

Mewtwo seemed kind of forced. He didn't have much emotion. (Which is understandable,) but he just seemed like a cardboard cut out. He wasn't a very good viillan. He didn't seem that dangerous.

For once, I would like to see the villans triumph. Make a movie worth watching.

Summary: FIVE STAR MOVIE!!
Review: "Pokemon: The First Movie A.K.A. "Pokemon the First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back" is a fabulous, outrageous, outstanding, wonderful, stupendous, colossal, great movie. My Brother even liked it and he is a fan of pokemon, including the mini-movie "Pikachu's Vacation." The characters were great including Veronica Taylor who is the star of the show.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My favorite of all the Pokemon Movies so far!!!
Review: I did take a star off for the oddly funny Pikachu's Vacation, which is ok to watch when I'm depressed, but hardly any other time. I love Mewtwo! One of my very favorite Pokemon!... And I heard the Japanese version was even more violent that the Americanized version, but I say you do not need to have much violence to have a great movie. (ex: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, I rest my case) I highly recommend this movie.

Signed, A 21 year old Pokemon crazed girl.

Summary: Ruined the Poke'mon buisness
Review: Poke'mon was once the hottest thing around. But after this movie Poke'mon did not seem so great after. The plot was really weird, having a Poke'mon who trains Poke'mon and clones Poke'mon too. Sure, other people liked it but I wasn't that too much in to it. It was kind of stupid. Brought Poke'mon down so much that they even made another game which helps you learn how to play the card game. Talk about low. People were really excited when they saw the commercial for this movie, I was too. But after I saw it, I slowly started to lose the passion I had for Poke'mon. If you want to hate Poke'mon, this movie is your one small step toward it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Enjoyable, but degrading compared to the Japanese edition.
Review: When "Pokémon the First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back" premiered in cinemas, Pokémon was currently at the climax of it's popularity. It is not surprising 4Kids Entertainment decided to edit the American edition; after all, the audience 4Kids Entertainment was aiming for were young children.

This film was decent. Yet, because of the plot's change from the Japanese edition, it was almost embarrassing for the teenagers and adult fans to watch. 4Kids altered Mewtwo from a depressed, confused creature into a menacing, vengeful villain. While "Myuutsu no Gyakushuu" focused on Mewtwo in search of himself, "Mewtwo Strikes Back" focused on Mewtwo plotting for world domination. And while it's obvious Mewtwo is suffering from a sense of security in both editions, it's much harder to notice in the American one.

Plus, the removal of the entire featurette makes it all the harder on Mewtwo fans. (Such as myself.) The dub only showed it up to where the scientists began extracting the genes from the fossilized Mew eyelash, whereas the Japanese edition included both that AND the second chapter: Mewtwo's bond with Ai.

It is essential in the timeline of Mewtwo's life that Ai is included. She was, above all, the only human Mewtwo felt a full friendship and trust with. Ash is defiantly second (and for that matter, the only other human) Mewtwo has a bond with, but nothing like what he had with Ai. Ai was a sister/mother-like figure, whereas Ash is a messiah figure.

This film is good, but I suggest for you to purchase "Myuutsu no Gyakushuu" instead.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Is this pokemon?
Review: The story of Pokemon: The First Movie is a dark one. Mewtwo, a cloned pokemon, hates humans and how they treat pokemon. So, Mewtwo causes a storm intending to rid the world of humans and the weak pokemon. The story is almost too dark for pokemon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A VERY GOOD MOVIE
Review: The story line was good. Usually you have a human play the bad guy, but Mewtwo makes a better bad guy! I think Pikachu's Vacation should be after the movie. I was so excited to see Mewtwo Strikes Back that I didn't pay much attencion to Pikachu's Vacation. When I re-watch Pikachu's Vacation, I thought it was so cool! At the end of the movie, it kind of leaves you in suspence because I noticed that Giovanni's memory wasn't erased and leads to the sequel, "Mewtwo Returns." A lot of people hate this movie and I have something to say to those people... give pokemon a break! Geez! People hate the movie just because of Pikachu's Vacation and that Mewtwo and Mew tied at the end of their battle. Overall, this is a movie worth buying!
