Reviews for Pokemon - Heroes: The Movie
[I]t seems these things are being made and released by rote. If no one went, would the next one come out anyway?
There are, alas, the requisite new characters and this round it’s a pair of winged critters with high-pitched grating ‘voices’ that sound most awfully like Mr. Bill from Saturday Night Live.
At worst, you're paying to see something you can basically see on television.
The new characters' voices are even more grating and annoying than in previous installments, and some of the animation seems downright archaic.
All that a piece of product like Pokemon Heroes will inspire is the urge to nap.
Kids will revolt, parents will snooze, and I will be downright giddy if I never encounter another Pokémon movie as long as I live.
Those who haven't fallen under the Pokémon spell will find little here to convert them.
You'd have to classify Pokemon Heroes as an action movie, but with the static long shots and inert faces, it's more like an inaction movie.
