Summary: Tired of pokemon
Review: I hate this movie! I'm tired of pokemon. Pokemon is everywhere! It's so boring. A bad trainer with a "cute"(just for publicity) pikachu. And pokemon aren't even original. Most of them are humanoids. I hate the tape and I hate pokemon fever. For all the pokemon lovers reading this: Let pokemon rot in hell.

Summary: "Just Say No" to Pokemon.
Review: I can't see why any animator, filmmaker, normal human being, or 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 voice 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 to children. Pretend this is the plague, and stay away.

Summary: Good - but not great
Review: I wasn`t sure what to expect when I saw this. This feature is actually made up of two movies - the short "Pikachu`s Vacation" and the slightly longer "Mewtwo Strikes Back". In "Pikachu`s Vacation" Ash and the gang take their Pokemon for a holiday on an island. Its cute but strange, made up almost entirely of the Pokemon speaking their own special language. The premier feature "Mewtwo Strikes Back" is very different. I thought this was far darker and more emotional than usual, and it freaked some people out who were expecting a kids` cartoon. The story is that Mewtwo - a new breed of Pokemon (created from the DNA of an extremely rare Pokemon called Mew), and designed by a group of scientists to be the most powerful fighter the world has ever seen, breaks away from his human masters and opts for world domination, creating a race of genetically engineered Super Pokemon. Needless to say - Ash and the others come to try to beat Mewtwo and save the world. While this wasn`t the worst movie I`ve ever seen, it could have been better. The American dubbing is crude and Mewtwo`s character is awful. In the original Japanese version, Mewtwo acted the way he did because he was lost and confused - in America his character is a simple villain who is evil just for the sake of being evil. The soundtrack also stinks - the excellent music of the TV show is replaced with god-awful chart pop which has nothing to do with the movie. Overall this movie was not bad, but not great. I hope the English writers do a better job with Pokemon The Movie 2000.

Summary: It's a good movie in 21 century.
Review: This is a nice movie you can not miss in the first part---Pikachu Vacation. It's kind of funny that I can laugh with my family. The second part that I should minus one star from the whole rate, because it has some exploring motions that scared my child who just turning two.

Summary: An Okay Movie
Review: I do have to admit, even though I am not ten years old I love Pokemon. I'm a big fan of anime, and I think Pokemon is a great anime series, but the series' first movie just doesn't hit a chord. First of all, Pikachu's Vacation, which plays before the movie, is the stupidest piece of Japanimation I have ever seen. This movie will definitely be a good choice to buy for any Pokemon fan, but I can really see why for non fans of Pokemon this is a hard movie to sit through. Definitely a good flick, just not one you hsould get unless your a fan of Pokemon.

Summary: Pokemon the First Movie: A-O-K
Review: Well, I decided to get the video and see the movie, being the pokemon fan that I was. I heard lots of people say bad things about it. It's not as bad as they say. It's really great to see all the pokemon well animated instead of the cheap animation on the cartoon series. Bulbasaur's razor leaf attack looks superb, and all the battles are way more interesting. It's darker than the series. Is that bad? Not necessarily. I think it's good that they're made things a tad bit more serious. Maybe it'll get all those little kids to stop liking pokemon.

Summary: Great, but strange
Review: My sister and I love the cartoon and we both loved the movie. Pikachu's vacation was hilarious in some parts. Mew was really cute and Mewtwo was portrayed really well. The part where Pikachu is crying over Ash is a tear-jerker for my sister and me(both over-emotional girls). There were a couple mistakes that we caught(Scyther-Alakazam) which made us laugh. The only thing I didn't like about it was the whole thing about 'how horrible fighting really is.' I know it must be a moral for kids, but if fighting to win is all Pokemon are used for, where's the lesson in that? Overall it was a pretty good movie and I would recommend it to any PokeFan who hasn't seen it.

Summary: Ack! Get thee far away, vile creature!
Review: Normally, I don't give animated movies one star. But this movie is just so worst case scenario that I can't help but utterly destroy it. I know I'm going to get lynched by Pokemon fans for this, but let's face it. This movie stinks! No, I'm not the kind of person who thinks Pokemon are creations of the devil or whatever nonsense they're saying these days. I like the cartoon. I find it charming. Unfortunately, some things should just stay as a cartoon series. The animation style of the series is so wretched that it couldn't possibly look good in a full blown movie. Pikachu's Vacation is cute, but it's incomprehensible and horridly strange. The main movie itself is slow, boring, and inane. It also rudely jackhammers its message into your poor brain. The soundtrack? Dumb. More excuses to show off pop sensations. All in all, I really don't care if this movie is entertaining to Pokemon fans. That's not enough for me or for those who aren't. As a movie, this is one of the worst. It just shows such a complete lack of any creative thought one would expect from proper storytelling. Get far away from this monster and don't look back.

Summary: Poor Quality in every aspect.
Review: I don't see how any filmmaker or animater could honestly repect this film. The plot is boring, and it teaches kids mindless and unitelligent cartoon fighting with no real point (I've seen how some kids react to this, and it's scary.) This movie looks like it was made in one week. It's sad that a movie like this makes 50 million in one weekend when something as good as "The Iron Giant" bombs at the box office. The animation is horrendous. Mouths moving consits of 2 frames repeated over and over (one with the mouth open, one with it closed), that is a blatent example of lazyness on the animators part. Plus the sound is never in sync. I have nothing against anime. If anything this IS THE MOVIE that gives anime a bad name in America. People pay money to see this, they deserve something good. This is terrible, stay away from it. And if you are a parent, letting your kids see this will damage them.
