Movie Reviews of Pokemon 3 - The Movie
Movie Review: Tripped Out Delight
Summary: 5 Stars
It's sad to admit, but as an avid Pokemaniac, I've seen all the Pokemon movies released to the present time, and own the majority of them. With that in mind, I can honestly state that this is the finest cinematic piece associated with the Pokemon name, and remains one of my favorite animated films.
In terms of plot, this film has one which is quite rich compared to the rest of it's contemporaries. A flock of psychic Pokemon named the Unown are able to take the thoughts and wishes of a little girl named Molly, and render them into reality. It sort of parallels that famous Twilight Zone episode in which a little boy can use his omnipotent powers to terrorize his family, however, with Pokemon being aimed at children, it isn't quite so sinister in its delivery.
The animation of this movie is very lush. The landscapes are extremely well done, and certainly stand out as one of the film's major highlights. The self-induced surreal world in which Molly inhabits is glassy, effervescently crystalline, very hallucinogenic. In one segment of the film, Ash (in attempts to rescue his kidnaped mom), runs up a set of stairs, suspended in a green void, with stagnant orbs floating above and underneath him. Most enjoyable.
The battles in this film are enthralling as well. In one of them films many strange sequences, Misty battles Molly literally underwater, although both are able to breathe without drowning. Brock's battle with Molly in an imaginary meadow of flowers follows. And the climactic fiery slugfest between Charizard and Entai is one of Pokemon's high points.
It's a shame that Pokemon 3 was released at a time when Pokemania was in sharp decline, being that this movie really is superior to it's two predecessors (as well as all films which followed for that matter). Recommended for fans of animated films. A must for Pokemon fans.
Movie Review: You are..... MAMA!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Entei's line "You are MAMA!" was probably the corniest line in the entire movie, but still, it doesn't detract from the fact that this was probably the best Pokemon movie yet. I admit, the first movie was kinda lame, but I enjoyed the second one (I'm a sucker for Luiga and Slowking) and I'm pleased to say that unlike most movie series, the Pokemon movies seem to get better with age. Now, I could go on, talking about how smooth the animation has gotten, how great the story is, that Pikachu and Pichu was the best of all the mini-movies or how Team Rocket had so little screen time, but everyone else has already raved about this movie. I want to go into detail about how well done this DVD is. Perhaps the best part is the Commentary by the writer and director of the movies. They talk about the troubles of translating and editing in the movie to appeal (and make sense) to a western audience, about how most people don't really give Pokemon movies any credit, and at some parts even MST the movie! Other bright spots include the original Japanese trailer for Pokemon 4 (which sadly confirms that WB will NOT be releasing the fourth movie in theaters), and the Pokerap GS, which I actually like for some sick reason. But there are still a couple of problems. For one, there's no widescreen version, which really stinks. In full screen, there are a couple of instances of characters speaking, but they've been cut off the screen. Another is the making of To Know the Unknown video. It just feels like filler material, and they could have at least included the actual music video.Otherwise, it was a groovy movie. It would have been nice to include the original Japanese voices, or even have some early work from the movie development, but there's always the Pokemon 4 DVD...

Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this movie was great!!! I'm not going to go into the whole summary, since every other reviewer has already done that for you. The only thing that I would change is that we see Molly being reunited with her father (and mother!!! for real!!) During the actual movie rather than during the credits. The only reason I knew it was there is because my sister likes to read the cast lists -_-' And for you people who wrote reviews that were against the movie, well, you shouldn't have watched it if you don't like Pokemon!!!!!! Plus, nobody who doesn't speak Japanese cares about how the Japanese version is. I'm sorry for flaming, but these reviews really tick me off!!!Movie Review: Best Pokemon movie yet!

But, they see the city of Springfield is covered by crystals and soon learns that pokemon is changing the landscape. Soon, Ash's mom is kidnapped, pokemon battles happen and Molly learns some things.
This is the best pokemon movie so far.
