Summary: Not as great as the series!
Review: Having 2 children at the ages of 2 and 4 1/2, I've grown to love Pokemon. Being a fan of Pokemon, I tought that Pokemon the First Movie was pretty boring. I've seen it dozens of times, and each time I see it, I always think how boring it is. It seems dark and isn't as humorous as the TV series. It also lacks excitement, fun and the story line wasn't that great. It will keep a childs attention throughout the whole movie though! Mewtwo is a genetically designed Pokemon that is suppose to be the most powerful of all. Mewtwo decides that he wants to conquer the world. So he manipulates Pokemon Masters onto going to the island, where he can clone their Pokemons. Then he battles them. Then your fearless heroes come to save the day, Ash, Brock and Misty. The movie had it's usual supporting cast; such as the villains Jesse, James and Meowth. The one thing that the movie didn't have was a variety of Pokemon! It had the usual, like Pikachu, Charizard, Bulbasaur, but where were some of my favorites like Hitmon Chan, Diglet and others? I don't even remember seeing Wheezing of Arbok in it! I even expected to see Ash's rival, Gary Oak, in the movie, but he only had a very small cameo in it. The movie also included the short film, "Pikachu's Vacation". This 20 minute cartoon was far better then the actual movie itself. It is the main reason why I rated this movie 3 stars instead of 1. I thought it was great! It was funny, exciting and the music accompanied the different scenes. It introduced new Pokemon, and had a variety of the old ones. The features on the DVD wasn't that bad also. It had little shorts like "Ash's Journey". It also has the Director's commentary and a teaser of Pokemon 2000.

Summary: A fun movie!
Review: I saw this movie with my younger brother, who is almost 7 now. There are a lot of poor ratings for this movie, but I enjoyed it! It had some scary scenes where my brother wanted to leave but otherwise it was very good. I think the series is a little funnier, and I watch that sometimes. Many people are saying now that Pokémon has been around too long, but please people don't say that! It's not fare for younsters who love it! I think it's a good series, and there hasn't been anything this popular for a long time! Great idea! My brother is Pokémon crazy still:) and what does it effect people who don't like it? don't like it? don't watch it!

Summary: I really like Pokemon, but this movie I don't
Review: I really, really like Pokemon. And I also tryed to like this movie. That didn't work. Don't get me wrong; I understood everything in the movie, its just that it lacks being any fun to watch. The bonus film, Pikachu's Vacation, is not what I would call entertaining; you see Pikachu, Bulbasuar, Squrtile, Psyduck, and Togepi running around a Pokemon amusment park, getting themselves, and a rival Pokemon gang, out of troublesome perdicaments(including getting Pikachu and Raichu loose of each other, getting Charizard's head out of a pipe, and becoming friends). It isn't dramatized or for that matter, anything! The actual movie has Ash and some other trainers going to Mewtwo's Island and then after a little rambling this big(but stupid) Pokemon battle rages out! All and all, it's not that cool of a movie. Be smart: Save your cash for Pokemon:The movie 2000.

Summary: This Is FUN! FUN! FUN! For Kids And Family
Review: I first saw this on video. I think this is great entertainment for kids and their families. The anamation is better than most Japanese cartoons(Dragon Ball Z especicially). I wanted to see this in theatres, but never got to. I finally rented it, it was the best Pokemon episode(Feature Length) I've ever seen. I recommend this to all Pokemon fans. Check out the soundtrack too. M2M's song is excellent. To sum it up, SEE IT!

Summary: DVD is the best!
Review: Pokemon the First Movie on DVD is very cool. All the extra stuff you find out about by watching the features is neat. I do know alot more about Mew and Mewtwo than I originally did, which is cool. I liked the commentary on the movie and all the stuff you learn from it, like all the stuff they considered for the movie. I've heard the Japanese verson was better, but I still like this movie quite a bit.

Summary: The movie stinks
Review: I woke up one day and checked the newspapper for the movies. Pokemon: the first movie. I went to see it with my friends. We were 5. One of my friends loved it but the rest of us hated it. So I decided to recommend everyone not to buy the tape or go see it.It's not a good movie, alright?

Summary: Just Say No to Pokemon
Review: I can't see why any animator, filmmaker, or little child could possibly respect this lame movie and cartoon series. This movie doesn't have anything that makes a movie good. Story? There is none. There is no plot, this movie consists of little creatures running around and doing mindless slapstick moves on each other. Animation? This is what really stands out as being horrendous. Dialogue consists of 2 frames of animation (one with the mouth open, one with it closed). Not that it matters, the dialogue is never in sync anyway. This is just a lame movie. It is just low quality animation, with BAD and ANNOYING acting, and a very low production value. This movie says "I was made in a couple of weeks, for a couple of bucks." This movie is unhealthy for impressionable youth to watch. Pretend this is the plague, and stay away.

Summary: Time to stop the Pokémon craze once and for all
Review: Ow, this movie's first sequel, "The Power of One," just opened in theatres. But Pokémon been everywhere these past two years! Pokémon this, Pokémon that, Pokémon, Pokémon, Pokémon! Now that there's 100 more (to total 251), oh brother, here we go again. The movie was okay. The song "Brother, My Brother" is the best song on the soundtrack. Oh, yeah, Pikachu is cute, but Mew is damn cuter than he, Lugia, and Togepi, my other favorite Pokémon, put together. She would come along and challenge her clone, Mewtwo (who wants to destroy all Pokémon once and for all). What happens, I definitely won't tell. Pokémon, schmokémon! Dragonball Z RULES!

Summary: Only endurable with drugs
Review: Let's face it: It's a terrible movie. Mediocre animation, stupid songs, awful story and the most rotten moral ever: "Don't fight", they say - but what else are Pokémon's good for? The 'best' was the episode before the feature. You have all those Pokémon sudddenly flashing over the screen, colorful backgrounds. No dialoge or story whatsoever. If you're under drugs, this might have the same effect like the lightrays-orgy at the end of '2001' had on some Hippies back in 1968. To sum up: If you like Pokémon, you'll like this movie. If you're a grownup, you won't. It's not even much about liking or not - it's about understanding. Most people just won't get it. And that's a *good* sign!
