Pokemon - The Movie 2000 Reviews
March 10, 2011
If memory serves me right, this was probably the least terrible of the original three movies I saw when I was a kid and the Japanese version is perhaps far superior, but I still feel sorry for any parent who were forced to sit through this with their kid (my parents included).

It has moments of fun and boasts soaring visuals, but all in all, this is "fans only". Pokemon fans will love the swift action-packed adventure but non-fans, you can safely skip this.

If you are not a Pokémon fan, don't watch it. Another really great Pokémon film for Pokémon fans; the excitement after the first Pokémon film remains, introducing the legendary birds and Lugia. I remember seeing this in theatres when it first came out, loved it then, and will forever continue to love it.

A minor step up from the last movie, but still suffers from everything that made the first movie terrible.

The second Pokemon movie looks neither adventurous nor ambitious. The whole storyline acts really stiff, the dialogue is laughable, and there is a sincere lack of fun.

By the far the most exciting installment of the frachise. Sure it may be a bad monster movie- but it's also a well done bad monster movie. It sets the bar low, and than predictably reaches it!

I don't care. This movie is awesome. Lugia is one of my favorite pokemon. The storyline itself was great. Yeah there were some cheesy cheesy parts but some heart warming ones as well. Especially, Luiga. Trying to resolve an issue that could mean a lot to the world.

Surprisingly, it surpasses its predecessor with a better told story and more of a cultural aspect and better pacing. This Pokemon film however still suffers from repeating itself too often and becoming the shoddy animation it ends up to be. It requires more effort - much, much more.

This film has more of a storyline to it and not much action. It is still quite a good movie though but is more for kids really and i reckon is not as good as the other film. It will appeal to some people though especially kids who like the series.

Better than the first film, and probably the best of the first five, being called the Original series. It has a greater tone in the action, the soundtrack, and the true statement at the end. (A)

PokĂ (C)mon 2000 improves over the first by offering more situations, yet still without story or charm into the characters. The story seems pretty loose and the movie can't get it anywere. Sadly, the voice acting is annoying and the animation feels dated. Just a little step foward, that gets stuck again really quick.

Once again the critics claim this film is bad. I don't see it, I loved it when I was a kid and I still do. It has a touching story that's action packed and Lugia's Song is just breathtaking.

Was a great movie and still is. I can't understand why critics are criticizing a kids movie for being just that... a kid's movie. *hands critics 50 shades of gray* There ya go, criticize something you actually understand, getting tied up and abused.
