Summary: this movie (the dubbed version at least) is AWFUL!
Review: God, I can barely find the words to describe the sheer badness of this movie. 1) the villain looks just like the male villain from the doomstree series. For a movie, the animators could have at least animated a new foe. 2)MOON MAMA. In the tv show, sure the sailors have said some corny things but moon mama surpasses them all. 3)Some parts of the movie weren't faithful to what happened in the series. 4)The battle scenes weren't anything special. they were basically a copy of previous battle scenes. It was like 'been there done that' for the viewer. 5)the plot was overly maudlin and corny. they could have came up with something better or at least executed it better.over all this movie was just like a bad, extended episode of sailor moon. very disappointing.

Summary: Death to all Dubs!
Review: Don't think I'm just a dub hater, but this has to be the absolute worst rendition they could have possibly made of the Sailor Moon R movie. I must have seen the Japanese version a thousand times before I purchased this video, and it ruined me. Rini's overabundant use of the word "Mama" was absolutely annoying. Not only did the makers change most of the content from a Japanese to an English oriented format, but they weren't consistent with uses of the attacks, nicknames for people, etc. For instance, what was "Moon Princess Halation" in Japanese and "Moon Sceptor Activation" in English (during the series) now has become "Moon Princess Elimination." Good grief! If you want a quality video, just check out the Japanese version. You'll be much more satisfied...

Summary: I loved this movie!
Review: I loved this movie! It was defenitly the best of the Sailor Moon movies. I haven't seen the this one dubbed, and I don't think I will. This was the first of any Sailor Moon I've seen subtitled and I loved it! You probably here over the internet about how the japanese version is so much better than the english version. Well this is your chance to see it! You won't have to put up with "Serena's" voice, instead you can here Usagi's voice. (In my world, there two different people.) You'll fianally get to see what your missing! You have to see the japanese version to agree it's better. Trust me, this is way better than the english version. I recomend this movie subtitled.

Summary: Very cute, but not as good as the Japanese one.
Review: Hey, what can I say? I watched it, and it was cute. DiC does a wonderful job with the dub, but I still think they could cut out some of those corny lines. And on the back cover, where it said Darien was Serena's "friend?" I don't think so. That's misinformation; they are boyfriend and girlfriend, for God's sake. Gripes: Darien's and Raye's voices sucked, and so did Fiore's. The children voices of Fiore, Darien, and Serena weren't very good. But DiC didn't cut out much. It followed the same storyline, with some major dialogue changes. I recommend it, but only if you can't find the subtitled one. Still, it gives dubbers a good opportunity to buy it in Japanese. All in all, it wasn't half bad.

Summary: Well...it stay trues to the DiC dubs
Review: I know that the DiC dubs are bad. Horrible actually. But something about them always brings a smile to my face. Maybe it's their innocence, or possibly the fact that their just funny to listen to. Anyhoo Pioneer does a pretty good job conveying the spirit of the DiC original. Occasionally they did go overboard. "Do your thing moon mama!" Gag me. The options for subtitles and japanese dialogue is nice too. Though I did miss the transformation and battle music. "Power of love" was a nice extra. Must buy for any moonie.

Summary: Don't soil us with your Dub!
Review: The dub may satisfy those only familier with the TV dub by DiC, but it is not worth buying by itself. Pioneer used the original cast and Dub names only for continuity, we all wish they didn't have to... but oh well. I bought the DVD so I could have the crystal clear picture and original language, but I got stuck with the awful dub as well. The changes they made in the dialogue in the dub were terrible, I couldn't listen to it for more than a few minutes. Do yourself a favor, buy the subtitle or the DVD.

Summary: Sailor Moon says don't get the movie dubbed!
Review: Don't get this movie dubbed, it horrible! Even DiC did better. The annoying voice actors came back, too much stuff was cut out, and Chibi Usa called Usagi Moon mama! They took out moon revenge. The subbed version was excellent. You have to see the Japanese version to think its better than dub. This dub is edited. If you want to see the original get sub. If you want to see cut get the dub. I'm warning you, The dub is horrible. Plus they have those names, What kind of name is Lita? Or Rini? It sounds too close to weenie! Trust me get the subbed. You'll be happy you did.

Summary: DVD - MUCH better than VHS
Review: I've purchased all three versions of the Sailor Moon R Movie, and out of all of them, the DVD is the best... Granted, it's the same voice acting that everyone else is complaining about, however considering the amount of time between the last release of ANY Sailor Moon Dubs (i.e. last 17 episodes) and now, I think they did a pretty decent job. I didn't like the extra verbiage, like Moon Mama from Chibi, which just made me want to cringe, but the kids seemed to like it just fine. My hope, however is that some of this feedback will go back to Pioneer to make the Sailor Moon S Movie a better Dub, and make it hold true to the form of the original, which a lot of us seem to have, or have viewed through various sources. My children have watched the Sailor Moon series since they were 2 and 3 (currently they're 6 & 7), so I'm not quite sure why Pioneer has listed the release as 13UP (the transformation sequences maybe?), when in Japan, it was clearly for the younger set of kids (4 to 7 or 8 I think it was)... By the time the kids are 13 and up, they really won't be into this type of series anymore, but I could be wrong. All in all, if you want to be able to compare the subbed, dubbed and original, the DVD version is for you... It has all original voice acting with out the mandatory annoying subtitles that the VHS version gives you, plus it has the extras like the official Bios of the scouts, the English and Japanese transformation sequences and powers... The extras alone make the DVD worth getting... Now if you could only find the DVD version in stores for the people that do not have computers... That would be nice!

Summary: It finally came
Review: This would have to be one of the most exciting SM movies. At first it was a bit slow but from then on it was great I would definately recommend this video to those SM Fans and anyone else.

Summary: Forget the dub - turn on subtitles and go native!
Review: Don't even bother listening to the default English dubbed version. It'll ruin things for you, especially the way the ending is slaughtered (as compared to the original Japanese ending). Go straight to the options menu, set the language to Japanese, and turn on English subtitles. Do this, then sit back and enjoy what is in essence an extended episode of Sailor Moon R. It's a good movie overall, but a bit more story would have been nice. Still, it's got moments of greatness - Chibiusa's method of "reviving" Usagi will have you wondering whether or not your DVD player is stuck on pause. ;-) As for DVD quality, it's top notch. Grab a copy - maybe your purchase will help Pioneer realize that they need to get the rights to the series (once DiC loses them). It'd be nice to see all 200 episodes plus the specials get the same DVD treatment that the R movie has received!
