Pokémon: The First Movie Audience Reviews

ThiefHott Too much of everything
Cortechba Overrated
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
patboldt Pokemon movies tend to be bad movies, at least that's what everybody normally thinks if you have never seen the Japanese version of these movies. Japanese subs can never save the movie but they do help them tremendously. And this movie has that most apparant. Okay, so here's the deal with this movie. The English Dub is like a good bad movie which is stupid a lot of the time but still fun to watch, kinda like a funny Shyamalan movie but the Japanese Sub is infinitely better, but not enough to save the whole movie and is comparable in quality to something like a good Shyamalan movie. The reason is that the movie itself is the same between the two but the writing, themes, and music choices are actually superior in the sub than in the dub. The reason is that although the dub music sounds good, there are choices made in the sub version that really make certain scenes a lot more engaging and powerful with one exception, the opening song. The song in the Dub is kickass awesome while the sub's theme song is really stupid.Thematically, the sub is also a million times better. Rather than subverting and ignoring the original message of the movie with dumb politically correct nonsense, the sub carries an interesting series of moral questions that actually build on one another. The movie has effort put into the message which is reinforced by dialogue, scenes, and actions performed by characters and Pokemon. Furthermore, the message isn't obvious and you have to think about what's going on. However, some things are kinda wrong with the dialogue at times and some lines unfortunately don't make sense, however it is still better than the dub's dialogue. However, with that said the Sub can't change certain plot decisions made in the movie meaning that a lot of stuff can't be explained with logic. However, the explanation is actually there for most of the sub and has things that can be understood if one pays attention to the movie...for the most part. This is something the dub doesn't do, it just lays down a bad explanation for events that doesn't make sense to the viewer(s) and you just have to break your suspension of disbelief. The voice acting in the sub is also way better. People sound organic and conversations feel natural between people in the sub while people in the dub sound stupid and corny a lot of the time with a few exceptions. Overall I'm giving this a 7/10 for the Sub while the dub gets a whopping 5/10. If your gonna watch this and want a bad movie, watch the dub you will not be disappointed. If you love Pokemon, like me however, and want a better movie (not great) but better movie please don't watch the dub, just listen to the Pokemon theme in the dub and then watch the Japanese sub. It is a lot better and way more enjoyable.
shuna-14122 This movie represents weight of copy's life. Myu2 is copy Pokemon. Myu2 is generated by human and Myu's copy. Myu2 attempts to " counterattack " against humanity from hatred to the man who has created only in order to take advantage of the rebound and his own to the system governing the Pokemon because he betrayed the organization that made him. In this story, I know struggling of Myu2 to copy life. Finally real real Pokemon and copy Pokemon fight. The main character, Ash stopped the fight Ting himself. Due to this painful situation we can feel both of real and copy living is important. This movie teaches preciousness of life.
igoldcraftmc Okay Lets beginAround Febuary i read critics reviews of Pokemon the First Movie and saw that they thought it was boring at the same time why did i trust the critics if they said "Wild" Was "Great" ....Not so much but cricrts words and rented the movie with low expectations and once again, the critics are wrong. I found myself exited and on the edge of my seat in Joy and thrill nonstop something hard to find movies now a days but with a movies that are "Great" i cant find that Spoiler here: when the battle was in its peak for minutes i felt as if it was like the 2014 sugar bowl the Pure interesting This is one of the best movie I've seen in a while and I'm glad i saw it!-bulidernation
yalvihidayat This movie was great with entertaining and make people happy while they watch this movie. But with 75 minute plus 21 minutes for Pikachu Vacation version doesn't make appeal with visual effect,special effect, decent quality of dubbing or acting maybe and some screenplay looks shabby. Of course if this happen, some adults cannot be entertained with this situation. Children will entertained with it so... i couldn't think if this not bad movie not good movie. I'll give this movie with scoreVisual effect 45/100 Special effect 65/100 Creativity 80/100 Entertaining 60/100 Acting 55/100 Story 75/100Overall 61-67 with B- Bellow goodEnd of reviewing Sorry if my English tenses were wrong
