Movie Reviews of Pokemon the First Movie - Mewtwo vs. Mew
Movie Review: It's alright...
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this movie in theaters, it was great. And as awesome as Pokemon is, the people who give it low stars for an actual reason (unlike the people who hate Pokemon, think that it is games based off a show, etc. In other words, know nothing about Pokemon; won't even try the games, despite that Red Version, Gold Version, and HeartGold Version are gaming masterpieces. (alright, I can understand not liking the show and cards and etc., but the games are amazing RPGs) who rate it low simply because; not on the basis on anything, but on spite) that it wasn't very good, are true. As far as movies go, it's pretty bad. Unless you really pay attention, you probably won't see a plot. But, nostalgia makes me like it. I still enjoy it, even if it is a bad movie. Probably the only people who will enjoy it are Pokemon fans; even if your older. (unless, of course, you still haven't gotten over the whole "but I'm a big kid now, everything I liked as a child is dumb!" phase.) If you're not a parent of a Pokemon fan, or a parent of one, why would you be watching this?
Summary of Pokemon the First Movie - Mewtwo vs. Mew
The adventure explodes into action with the debut of Mewtwo, a bio-engineered Pokemon created from the DNA of Mew, the rarest of all Pokemon. Determined to prove its superiority, Mewtwo lures Ash, Pikachu and others into a Pokemon match like none before. Mewtwo vs. Mew. Super-clones vs. Pokemon. It's the ultimate showdown ... with the very future of the world at stake! Also, includes the mini-movie Pikachu's Vacation and never-before-seen bonus footage!DVD Features:
Audio Commentary:Commentary by M. Haigney & N. Grossfeld
Featurette:"Pikachu's Vacation" - 19:00 with chapters
Music Video:"Don't Say You Love Me" by M2M (3:42)
Other:Preview of "Pokemon: The Second Movie" (1:00) "Mewtwo's Origin" (2:17)
The world domination of Pok?mon begets their first theatrical movie. This adventure is a little more complex and dark than the popular TV series, but kids who live for the show will gobble up this film and ask for seconds. Those baffled by the show's popularity, however, will see nothing better here. Mewtwo, a new type of Pok?mon designed by scientists to be the ultimate fighter, decides he wants to rule the world and challenges all the great Pok?masters to battle. Of course, our intrepid heroes Ash, Misty, and Brock are there to tangle with Mewtwo and spoil his devilish schemes. The film is a tad more emotional than the show (that is, there is some emotion), with Ash sacrificing himself to defend his beloved Pikachu (but don't you worry, Ash will be just fine).
Would you really expect the makers of this worldwide phenomenon to radically change its winning formula? The feature is only 55?minutes long, but there's also a 20-minute short, "Pikachu's Vacation." For the Pok?mon novice, this escapade will truly baffle: the narrated tale has virtually no dialogue except Pok?mon speaking their names (Bulbasaur, for instance, will only express emotion by using variations of his name: "Bulba, Bulba-SAUR!"). It's a real curio. --Doug Thomas
