Its save-the-planet message clashes with its crass marketing.
A rote exercise in both animation and storytelling.
An improvement on the feeble examples of big-screen Poke-mania that have preceded it.
The animation and game phenomenon that peaked about three years ago is actually dying a slow death, if the poor quality of Pokemon 4 Ever is any indication.
At best this is a film for the under-7 crowd. But it would be better to wait for the video. And a very rainy day.
Serious Pokemon fans will like it.
The fourth "Pokemon" is a diverting--if predictable--adventure suitable for a matinee, with a message that cautions children about disturbing the world's delicate ecological balance.
The fourth in a series that I'll bet most parents had thought --hoped! -- was a fad that had long since vanished.
This is rote drivel aimed at Mom and Dad's wallet.
FINALLY a film in this series isn't subtitled, "The Movie". Besides that, POKEMON 4EVER is better than the first three, but I hope the anime idiots running this dumb saga don't continue making movies like this, "4ever".

Pokemon 4ever is probably the safest in the pokemon series, as this films does not serve any new interest to the pokemon films, but does not fail to impress either. As Ash and his pals are on the hunt on a mysterious island for a legendary pokemon, the find it to have mystical powers unlike any other pokemon on earth.
