Pok?mon the First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back

Pros: teaches cooperation; teaches competition with boundaries; the movie ends up as a morality tale

Cons: episodes get old after awhile

The Bottom Line: A good movie for young kids.

Review: If you didn't enjoy this movie, you gotta go play on some swings and find the kid inside you! Yes, the animation is primitive, and yes, the messages are simple, but let's face it: Pikachu is cute as heck, and children in single digits love him and his ...

Pros: Teaches responsibility, teamwork, empathy, compassion, and negotiating skills

Cons: A bit too much of commercialism

Review: My daughter wants to see this movie badly. In fact, I don't blame her since she has been watching the cartoons religiously. On a few occasions, I sit down with her to check it out. I will tell that at first I was like "What is this all...

Pros: Pokemon is good animation for every age group. From little kids to grownups!

Cons: Anime can be addicted once you watch enough of it!

Review: Okay, so Pokemon's first movie might not be the best anime movie out there, it might not be the best anime, or even the best Pokemon movie ever made (Pokemon 2000 is better!), but it's certainly entertaining, and visually beautiful! You don't have to be...

Pros: good message and they are just so cute

Cons: they are so darn cute

Review: Yes I am on my Pokemon soapbox once again. Defending Pokemon has become a way of life for me. All cuteness and fluffyness aside (oh yeah they are in there...) this movie is very dark.

For all those out there who wish Pokemon would go the...

Pros: Good Show

Cons: Addicting

Review: I was waiting for this movie to come out and when it did, I had to watch it. It was about 6 months since i watch this movie and i am waiting for the tape to come out so i can watch it everyday.

This movies is very addicting because ash cares...

Pros: Wonderful Animation, Beautifully constructed Computer scenes

Cons: Sometimes you get to wondering if this isn't just another episode streched out to fit 2 hours

Review: Ok, here we are faced with another Pokémon item. I'm not one to run around collecting the stupid cards or plopping myself down in front of the TV every day at the time it airs here on the WB. But i have to say when I sat down the watch the movie with my...

Pros: great story-line, just a little mild violence

Cons: about the same you'd get from the TV show

Review: "Who am I?", "How was I created?", "Why did they create me?". These are just some of the things the mysterious genetically bred pokemon Mewtwo is thinking. In rage when he learns that he was created to serve humans, he...

Pros: Very kid friendly

Cons: A bit annoying for adults to have to watch over and over

Review: For those who have given this movie a negative review, keep in mind that if you are aged past 12 years, this movie was not intended for you to like to begin with. I do not have much choice in the matter of watching or not watching Pokémon. I have a...

Pros: Very colorful movie

Cons: The pokemon say thier name over and over instead of actual words

Review: We bought this movie because i know how much my children love Pokemon and they were excited when they went to the movies to see it.
This movie was really good for the kids, they enjoyed it alot and have watched it a few times already.
The...

Pros: Great story, for those who are fans

Cons: Adults will hate it, kids wont get it

Review: Ok, now I am ashamed to admit it, but I am an 18 year old Pokémon fanatic. Ever since I started watching the TV show, I was sucked into the story line. And while the cartoon seems to be fairly comedic and entertaining for kids, Pokemon: The first movie...
