Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
hayashimegumi Organizing a personal Pokémon Movie Marathon (22 films) makes it less difficult to distinguish the differences between the Pokémon films and it is fun to observe their growth. However, I can't tell which Pokémon films is the best yet even though I have seen all of them before long ago as I watched them in different years and I do not have perfect memories.At this point, I am just done rewatching one quarter of all Pokémon films ever released by Pokémon but I think I have identified one thing from watching Mewtwo Returns (2000); this is how Pokémon films should have been from the start!Mewtwo Returns (2000) is a follow up to Pokémon the First Movie. It may be confusing to those of you who have not seen Mewtwo Strikes Back (1998) and the short anime The Birth of Mewtwo but if you do, you will notice that this one has a better script. The characters are not that flat anymore by being more lively and expressive, just like its TV anime series. However, like almost everything else in the world, it is not perfect but still interesting to watch.It champions equality, wonder and nature of life, which leisurely reveal to us the charm of Pokémon world in addition to revealing to us more about Mewtwo! Although Mewtwo appears to be less invincible here, it has a softer heart and a much enlightened mind so that development is a must watch for Mewtwo fans!
bigwig_thalyi Even the most ardent Pokémon fan would struggle with this film.My wife who is an avid Pokémon fan found it difficult. I'm not really into the Pokémon genre but i do enjoy watching the movies so when i heard this film was being released i was really looking forward to it.Even though It was a straight to video movie i thought I would give it the benefit of the doubt. However after watching this film the big question was, why did it need to be made. The main gist of the film is that after the first film,Mewtwo and his followers escaped to a deserted island so as to live in peace away from humans.In "Mewtwo returns",Giovanni the leader of Team Rocket, finds the island and attempts to recapture Mewtwo.Once again it is up to Ash and his friends to save the day. However even the introduction of a new Team Rocket member fails to stop this film sliding into mediocrity.The other movies in the series are worth watching but this film should only be watched if after the film you were wondering what happened to Mewtwo and his friends. I give this film 5/10 as even the most avid Pokémon fan would struggle with it.
Cylex A new Pokemon movie! Hooray! Now we can find out what's become of Mewtwo & his clones. I loved Mewtwo Strikes Back and this sequel is packed with the same emotion & excitement. We meet a new Team Rocket agent who is just as cool as Jessie & James. I was drawn into the story and was satisfied by the ending. It was good to hear some of the marvellous music from the original too. Keep 'em coming. 10/10
karigilmore This movie's short, but it's great! I enjoyed watching Ash and co. re-introduce themselves to Mewtwo and bringing back all of the clones! The Pikachu and Meowth clones are great! And Giovanni tries to get Mewtwo back again! What'll happen? Find out for yourselves!
