Even after watching the FIRST Pokemon movie, I still wasn't truly interested in Pokemon. They never once drove me to excitement to such an extent that I myself would catch them all. What in the world were the WB thinking, anyway, when they overmarketed this overrated piece of junk that like all things MUST die sooner or later? It did--once Digimon came along and put an end to the whole Pokemon thing for good, that is.

This is pure mind control for kids - teaching them to buy cheap plastic junk. <br /> <br />Show kids some quality Japanese Animation before its too late!

Show kids some quality Japanese Animation before its too late!

Actually, it insults the intelligence of a two year old. No plot, no story, no realistic characterizations, just a filler.<p>The Digimon Movie was definitely better than this.

The Digimon Movie was definitely better than this.

Sure, we have a "movie" cashing in on the unquestionable success of the Pokemon cartoon series, but I wonder just how many people actually stopped to realise the movie was simply an inflated episode of the cartoon? or perhaps even just three episodes strung together? This film... so badly that I'm not even going to give an account of the plot (if I did it would simply be a rambling along the lines of "Charmander casts his fire spell on Some-Other-Irrelevantly-Named-Badly-Drawn-Japanese-Cartoon-Character" and a simple repetition of this kind of thing).<p>The characters are unaddictive (there are way too many of them for starters), the plot trails off in about a thousand direction, the effects are every bit as bad as the cartoon and the language is so simplistic it is hardly going to accelerate children's learning processes (surely something like this designed for children should help them cope with comlpex language skills?).<p>Such a bad addition to the world of movies is this that it is one of the VERY few movies I haven't seen all the way through - I left after 40 mins to watch a real movie (I think it was Jaws). Okay, so its designed for kids. Big wow - so is the very successful, and far more impressive, Toy Story 2, and A Bug's Life, which appeal to all ages without the non-essential obsession with literally scribbled pictures of pointless magical creatures.<p>Avoid this movie at all costs. It is a waste of time, money, effort, attention and everything else, and there is ALWAYS going to be a better kids movie out there. Pixar looks pretty good, and you can never miss with Disney.<p>Oh, and I haven't just slated this movie because I don't like Pokemon, I did it because I genuinely believe it deserves it. The original Pokemon movie is marginally better than this and if you must see Baulbosaur and co. in battle on the big screen go and see Pokemon The First Movie. Alternatively, watch an episode of the cartoon, which is infinitely better and (because it is much shorter) far more tolerable.
