Rating: Summary: Sailor Moon Super S DVD Review: Very cute...really! Review: I saw this movie a year ago and I remember how I felt that it was good but more geared to the younger audience and also how that song the kids were singing kept staying in my head. The story focuses this time on Chibi Usa or Mini Moon (whatever name the Dub uses). The movie is definitely geared for a younger audience and the parts that make you feel sad like in the previous movies, is not here in the fourth movie. In my opinion, I feel that this movie is the weakest of all Sailor Moon movies. When I say weak...I don't mean bad...I mean it doesn't make me want to watch this many times. I like the sad storylines...btw, for the Sailor Moon fans.. I was hoping they would get Sailor Saturn in this movie but I guess that psycho storyline on Sailor Moon S was too scary for kids. As for the animation, I'm glad it wasn't as faded as Sailor Moon S but where the DVD for R was an improvement over it's predecessor, this DVD is not better than R... Not much in terms for special features this time around. The production stills are still nice but I wonder why they never include the movie trailers. Those trailers are pretty cool! Anyway, if you have bought the other two DVD's and are a fan of the series, you will most likely purchase this DVD anyway. But if you are a fan and don't know which DVD to buy out of the three movies, start with the first one and go in continuation. A definite must-see for fans of Chibi Usa. For fans of the anime, a slight above average movie.
Rating: Summary: Third time's the charm, for Pioneer. Review: Pioneer's third VHS dub, Sailor Moon SuperS was absolutely fantastic. Not only did they leave in more clips of Japanese music, which was disappointing not to hear, but there were very little cuts. One thing that Pioneer confuses me about is the fact that they take out a scene where Serena spanks Rini to wake her up, yet the violent scenes remained. Sheesh, are they looking for more reasons to get people to buy their DVD? Anyways, this story had a good plot, and I was glad to see Terri Hawkes return as Sailor Moon before she had to leave on pregnancy. I hope to see you soon in the upcoming episodes, Terri! As for the new additions, Diana's voice didn't bother me that much, just a little bit too high pitched. But this movie had a good plot, and had a good finish, too! So, for those who absolutely hate the dub, I think you should stop wasting your time trying to find bad reviews for this movie. This movie was awesome, and I can't wait to get my hands on the sub!
Rating: Summary: Ouch..Pink Sugar Heart Attack Review: Take normal Sailor Moon, smack it with a box of artificial sweetener, and you get this movie. The plot is basic: Fairies lure small children onto their sugar ships with promises of sweets, only to use them for their childhood dreams. Luckily, Sailor Moon and her precocious daughter Chibi-Moon are here to save the day, with a little help from an errant fairy named Peruru. Yeah, yeah, it's silly and candy-kicked enough to rot your jaw, but I love this movie. Sometimes I need a little cute in my belly, and between the scene of the kiddy scouts and the cutesy crush Chibi-Usa has on Peruru I get more than my fill. At the very least it offers a nice reprieve before you jump into the darkness of the Stars series.
Rating: Summary: Kawaii! Can't get that song outta my head! Review: Okay, this is the only Sailor Moon movie I've seen, and a lot of people say it's the worst, but I absolutly adore it! I haven't actually seen Pioneer's version(I borrowed my friend's old old one), but if it's anything like their other translations, it's wonderful! The 3'O Clock Fairy song is downright infectious and all the grumps who shudder as it plays need to remember childhood a bit better. ^_- The appereance of Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune literally made me fall out of my chair(it was the first time seeing them on tape!), and squeal with delight. I'm not sure if Pioneer translated the breif humor between Neptune and Uranus, but if they did.. parents shouldn't worry. I'm almost certain it would go over most children's heads. All in all, this movie kept me laughing as the jokes just kept coming. Anyone familiar with only the DiC dub should definatly get this-and the other two-Sailor Moon movies. Everything(especially the voices) is so much better!
Rating: Summary: An Excellent Movie! Is it worth buying? Yes! Review: I have the dub and the sub versions, and to make life easier, I'll divide the parts into good, bad, and the treats: The BAD: The voice for Diana( Luna and Artemis's feline daughter ) does NOT match at ALL! It sounded like a grown woman with a nasal problem. They should have just asked a small kid to do the voice. Also, another thing that might disappoint the hard-core Moon fan is that there's no special footage in the video when they show Sailor Moon's attack( "Moon Gorgeous Meditation" ); they just show her do a team with Rini's attack into the Dream Hole with no special shots. Another thing is that you don't get to see the transformations of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Oh well... The GOOD:(There's lots) The graphics are spectacular! If the graphics and animation on the R and S movies were 5-6 on a scale of 1 to 10, this movie's animation would get 11! You can actually see good art details of the attacks, the backgrounds, and the characters! Very nice! Also, we get a peek of the dub's version of the new Sailor powers: the crystal transformations of the Inner Sailor Scouts, the attacks("Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!", "Mars Flame Sniper!", "Jupiter Oak Evolution!", "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"), and the planet treasures of Uranus and Neptune( "Space Sword Blaster!", "Submarine Reflection!"). Also, we get to see Diana, Luna and Artemis's daughter. As an extra bonus, the voicers of the enemies and Perulu(the fairy that befriends Rini) are great and are really believable. No problem there. Oh yeah, and during a battle sequence, when Sailor Moon is trapped in a dream world, and she meets with Darien, the background plays the song "Nothing At All" which ACTUALLY fits the mood! Excellent choice for the movie! The TREATS: First, the moral( for you parents out there ): the moral in the video is that the kids are being kidnapped because the enemy wants to keep them in a dream world forever where they'll never experience pain and never face reality. But in the video, Sailor Moon realizes that it's better to face the real world because no fantasy world can provide love and friends. Plus, it's not always bad to face a bad day in life because you have friends and family to help you deal with it. After all, some things are too good to be true, and you can't see through life thinking that way. Nice, if not preachy, moral. Also, the plot of the dub follows the plot of the sub, MORE or LESS, so I don't want to hear any complaints about the dub not following the sub! Also, I got used to the voices of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, REALLY!( Trust me, if you watched the Sailor Moon S series on Cartoon Network at 4:00 P.M., you'll get used to the voices and think that they fit too ). So overall, the voices of the characters did pretty well, except Diana. So is it worth buying? Yes, in a nutshell, because there's hardly any bad parts or nudity( think a plastic Barbie doll engulfed in light ), all the voices in the dub are the same ones from the past, there's some humor, the dub left most things in, and this is the only time you can see the English version of the Super attcks, transformations, and more of Mini Moon( surprisingly, I'm actually used to that name too, thanks to the Cartoon Network's showings! ). Plus, it has a nice plot, so I'd doubt you'd get bored brainless from watching this video.
Rating: Summary: A Great Movie Review: This movie was dubbed fairly well and it has a good introduction. However, I thought the movie would of turned out better if Serena and Rini's original voices weren't used. Other than that, there are very few negative points about the movie. Negative: Pioneer skipped the part where we were supposed to see a picture of each Sailor Scout when they were little. Diana's voice was not at all that good. It seems as though Diana has aquired Molly's New York accent. Instead of saying "Rini", it sounds more like "Weenie". As you all probably know, original music was changed. Posutive: It's good to get a first look at Diana and the Sailor Scout's new transformation sequences. Here are their powers: Sailor Mercury: Mercury Aqua Rhapsody Sailor Mars: Mars Flame Sniper Sailor Jupiter: Jupiter Oak Evolution Sailor Venus: Venus Love And Beauty Shock Sailor Moon and Mini Moon: Super Moon Crisis Make Up, I think Pioneer added some extra words there Here are what the Scout's are fighting: Candy wrappers: They unwrap to reveal a blue ball that turns into a little creature that bounces around Bon Bon Daddies: These are the same as the candy wrappers but 5x as powerful. I hope this helped you out!
Rating: Summary: A good movie. Review: The sailor scouts are on the job again and this time there protecting children. They discover that people with magical pips can control children while there sleeping. Rini gets caught up in the act as well. Queen Valdiana is trying to put all of the world into dream state by using dream energy. In this movie we meet a new character. His name is Peruru. You get to see all the sailor scouts. Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Mini Moon. They must save the world before Queen Valdiana has a chance to pursue her dreams.
Rating: Summary: Greatest Review: I love this movie. It's about Serena when she has to go against a villan from space that wants all people in a dream cage forever.
Rating: Summary: My favorite out of all three movies. Review: I'm sure the sub is better, but I'm definately not wasting my money on practically got the same thing right in front of me. Give it a chance, this is a good video. I think Chibi-usa's voice sounds a little more grown-up then in the anime{ In the anime, it sounded like her voice was eight, which she is in ss, but in this she sounds like she's ten}. Anyways- this video has a new villian named Badiyanu, who kidnaps children to use their dream energy to make her Black Dream Hole filled with dream energy able to swallow the world!!! And when Badiyanu finds out she make her dream a reality by kidnapping Minimoon as well, will the scouts be able to save everyone in time, or will the vortex absorb the earth?
Rating: Summary: Great. Funny. Daring. Review: This SM movie is one of the best SM movies to me. I love the humor in the beginning and the fighting scene in the end. It's perfect for a rainy day or...well whatever. The picture,sound is great. The plot is very strong. And is a must-see for Chibiusa fans! Buy this tape and the others ones too! I would also recommand the Japanese ones. They are much better!
