hit records from bands that your kids will know well, even if you don't. You'll surely know this one: "Pokémon, You're my best friend, in a world we must defend. Gotta catch 'em all...." It's an international anthem. N'Sync's "Somewhere, Someday" and Emma Bunton aka Baby Spice's "Hey You, Free Up your Mind" take on a new meaning when set alongside the antics of Ash and co. capturing and training those cute and colourful cheeky chappies. As does "If Only Tears Could Bring You Back"--because (don't you know), a Pokémon's tears can bring a trainer back to life! Britney Spears' "Soda Pop", Billie's "Makin' My Way", B*#42;Witched's "Get Happy" and Vitamin C's "Vacation" ("Vacation, that's where I want be ... Let's Go!") serve to remind us that frankly the music was probably the best bit about the film. --Jayne Miller

Advantages: Lot's Of Pokemon, Fun Storyline Disadvantages: Not Enough Team Rocket, Too Much Chopped Out

Well, I suppose this review was inevitable sooner or later, given my "appreciation", for the current kids craze, and some of you may be wondering why I'm not to keen on this film (aside from the severe lack of my favourite pokemon).
Well, when I originally read the storyline for the film, before it was translated into English, it seemed to have all the neccessary ingredients to make a pretty epic movie. An evil enemy (the super-mon, Mewtwo), big Pokemon battles, and a nice nitty gritty atmosphere surrounding the whole thing. Great I thought to myself! Can't wait for this film!
Then the american translators come along and say "hey, this is way to violent and nasty for our little kiddies, let's replace everything that makes it good with worthless trash about friendship and love and basically ruin the entire thing!". Well, if they didn't say that, they did it anyway, by chopping some of the more "scary" scenes out of the movie, dubbing it poorly, and generally shattering the atmosphere that the good Japenese storywriters had built up.
Besides these well, pretty major quibles, the remaining film isn't really that bad. Standard storyline, evil Pokemon Mewtwo plans on taking over the world, yada yada yada, Ash, Misty and Brock have to stop him.
What I do like about his film however is the great varitey of pokemon that we actually see, including some from the new Pokemon Gold/Silver gameboy games, which kids will just love.
The American influences are obvious, but the material should keep the kids entertained for quite a while.
Overall, a fun adventure for the family, but could have been much, much better.
Advantages: Animation Is Good Disadvantages: The Whole Film!

Advantages: Lots on the DVD Disadvantages: Low quality animation
...a sneak preview of the Pokemon 3 film. The DVD-Rom content amounts to the original web-site, on-line links and sampler trailers. The DVD is single sided and comes in a snapper case without a booklet.
Running time is noted at 102 minutes and this DVD will introduce the kids to six new Pokemon.
For what it’s worth, I can’t see much of a difference in the quality of this film and the first but the kids (aged three and five) prefer this ...

...is a trailer of the Pokemon the movie 2k. I think that it is fantastic, and shouldn't even be considered of whether u want to or not! But i think that this only applies to those pokemon fans out there, those who think that pokemon is crap then don't even bother looking down this alley!! but all in all Pokemon on vid is an excellent choice for the ages between 6+ 16 and could be enjoyed by all the family.

...that there is a secong pokemon movie coming out soon. I don't think that that one will have much effect on the puplic either like the first. The question is will the second be as good as the first or the same, a poor atempt.
The makers might not even make a secong movie deciding that the first was a bad creation, and no where near as good as it was supposed to be. There were the few people who did actually like the movie and return time after time ...

Advantages: A good film for children. Disadvantages: none.
...it as he loves the Pokemon alot.
To my surprise he sat there the whole time,didn't even move an inch. He seemed like he was glued to the seat, but i promise he wasn't. He was so inthralled in this movie saying who the pokemon were as he saw them. And crying when they all did when he thought Ash was dead.She jumped for joy when he saw all their crying including Pikachu, bring him back from the dead.
I had to make him sit down and be quiet, as there ... ...it, when the film finished and that was a few weeks ago.
When the video comes out i will be first in the queue to buy the video, if it will keep him his quiet. I tried him with other videos for kids of his own age, but to no avail. So don't put it down,because at times these films are life savers. ...
