Pok?mon the First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back

Pros: typical Pokemon fare
Cons: typical Pokemon fare (see a pattern??)

And if you don't like Pokemon, you'll hate it. Parents, be warned. Most of you won't get it. Don't even try unless you've watched the television show and been properly initiated by an eight-to-twelve-year-old. But if you've latched on to the Pokemon...

Pros: teaches cooperation; teaches competition with boundaries; the movie ends up as a morality tale
Cons: episodes get old after awhile

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: Most people have already caught on to this soulless tripe masquerading as entertainment.
Cons: The popularity of Pokemon is proof that some parents don't care WHAT their kids watch.

I have a niece who is almost 12. Like most kids her age, she likes whatever TV shows, music and movies that all her schoolyard pals are into. Seeing as children are (by definition) inexperienced creatures (not to mention pretty dumb sometimes), it only...

Pros: Mewtwo card, movie is watchable
Cons: only one special card per movie

Today I spent 20 minutes in a K-mart check out line waiting to pay $40 total for two copies of the newly released on video movie Pokemon: The First Movie. Why even buy it and why two copies you ask? Well, let me explain the great marketing...

Pros: That little guy...the one who fights other little guys
Cons: People watching animals fight for pleasure. Sick People.

First things first, I would never watch this movie by choice. I have no interest in Pokemon. Pokemon are little butt plugs as far as I am concerned. Since I am an employee at Suncoast Motion Pictures, there are some movies we just have to watch in the...

Pros: In a small age group, this movie is still big stuff
Cons: Adults will have a hard time watching with their kids

Pros: Kids love it, entertaining to children,
Cons: weak plot line

Really, its not that bad! Like most children her age, my 5 year old loves this movie. Pokemon The Movie is one of her top choices when it comes time to watch a movie

When it comes to childrens movies, it is not important that the newspaper...

Pros: Keeps your pokemon fanatic happy, it tries to teach fighting is bad
Cons: Could be sending mixed messages to kids, bad animation and sound

I have to be honest and tell you I am not a fan of Pokemon or Japanese animation. The later is just personal preference. This to me was a strange movie. We rented it for my daughter (age 8) . She is not interested in collecting Pokemon memorbilia (Thank...

Pros: Mind blowing animations, deep rooted philosophical conundrums, funny Pikachu noises
Cons: cop out on the ending, squirtles, MewTwo losing his armour after first 5 minutes

I went to see this movie at the theatres as a joke. My friend and I were waiting to see Dogma because we're really big Kevin Smith fans. It turned out that the movie was playing in that theatre but Pokemon was in first. Rather than hang around like...

Pros: some good cgi, an awsome dvd with tons of features
Cons: you have some very chessey dialogue, and a hypocritical moral, Pikachus vacation

This is the first movie in which every body favorite battling cute monsters stared. The Pokemon first movie is separated into two movies a mini movie (Pikachus vacation) and a main feature (called Mewtwo's strikes back). Here are my thoughts.

...

Pros: Short movie for the parents, fun for the kids, everyone wins.
Cons: Only kids will understand it. Only kids will like it.

Disclaimer: The following review is written for children ages 4 to 12. If you are accompanying a child to "Pokemon: The First Movie" then skip down to the last paragraph.

So I saw "Pokemon: The First Movie" today and it...

Pros: has a plot and a message
Cons: too many messages, Mewtwo's voice

Having seen the Pokemon movie a few times now thanks to my daughter, I thought I'd add some things I didn't like about the movie.
Mew2's voice is very hard to hear. The huge Pokemon battle scene with a message and a song lasts too long. The...

Pros: good graphics, excellent soundtrack, plot is not bad
Cons: semi-violent, somewhat mature

Ok, I have been putting off writing this review pretty much since the day I joined Epinions. I have decided to bite the bullet and write!!!!

At this exact moment my children are watching Pokemon The First Movie:MewTwo Strikes Back My...

Pros: None. Trust me on this one.
Cons: Every single freaking element is poorly crafted beyond belief.

I have no idea why I'm reviewing this monstrosity long after many unfortunate parents watched the movie and purchased the video. Yet, I promised myself I would review every single animated movie I've ever seen, so here I go.

Now before I...

Pros: The Music wasnt too bad
Cons: Dark and confusing

My children counted down the days until "Pokemon, The First Movie" opened in theatres. Had someone spent time with my children (especially my 9 and 6 year old sons) prior to the opening of the movie, one might have suspected that perhaps...
