VHS Movie Reviews of Pokemon the First Movie: Mewtwo vs. Mew [VHS]

Movie Review: This Pokemon movie is AWESOME!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is AWESOME!!!

I love this movie, because I love Pokemon.

Pokemon is no longer just for kids, Pokemon can still be fun for kids, but Pokemon can be fun for some older people too.

I loved Pokemon since when I was little kid, and I still Pokemon.
I got the DVD of this Pokemon movie for a birthday present when I was a teenager, and I still have the DVD of Pokemon the First Movie.

I recommend this movie to folks that love Pokemon.

Here are some reasons why I love this movie:
- This movie is based on this cartoon series Pokemon.
(This movie was made after they aired the original series of Pokemon)
- Ash's voice sounded great in this in Pokemon the First Movie as in the original series of Pokemon
- Misty was still traveling with Ash, when this Pokemon movie was made.

I would also recommend this Pokemon movie to some folks that say Misty is good-looking.
Remember Misty has a crush on Ash.
I miss seeing Misty in Pokemon.
Ash and Misty had great adventures together. Ash and Misty are a great couple.

If you love Pokemon, buy this Pokemon movie on DVD.
If you love Pokemon and If you don't have a copy of this movie, buy it if you want it!!!

Pokemon Rocks!!!!! I give Pokemon the First Movie 10/10.
Pokemon the First Movie is fun for Pokemon fans.

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?

Movie Review: great movie
Summary: 5 Stars

the price was great, children loved it, came on time, great condition. I would buy from this seller again. Thank you for great service

Movie Review: It's..OK.
Summary: 3 Stars

It's not nearly as good as the japanese version,not by a long shot.

I'm not trying to sound mean or anything,but 4kids really sapped the awesomeness out of it.

They took out the prologue,and made Mewtwo seem like a villian. He was just mad because he was created by humans,and not by "god".

It's also full of aesops,cultural references,and they got certain things wrong,like Pokemon names.

However,it's still a classic Pokemon movie.

Movie Review: The End of the 90s...
Summary: 4 Stars

Like many young millennials, circa 1997-99, I followed what probably was the biggest fad the world has ever known, called "Pokemon." I was one of the first kids to have Pokemon Red & Blue when it came out in America-- and my brother and I would get up at 6-AM every Saturday morning to watch the anime on KidsWB. It was also around this time that I began using the internet, reading forums and finding out all about movies in production. When I found out they were making a movie out of Pokemon, my first initial thought was it was going to be live action, kind of like another one of my favorite game to movie adaptations: "Super Mario Bros." But I digress. When I found out it would be a cartoon, I was a little disappointed but not discouraged. And when it finally came out, I was the first in line to see.

I can still remember seeing it in theaters with my brother and my Dad. At the time, my Dad was very overweight and suffered from sleep apnoea, so as soon as the previews were over, he fell asleep in the crowded theater and began snoring loudly. He did this three quarters of the movie, until he woke up and watched the rest of it with a mild disgust. I also remember when the opening titles rolled, the word "NINTENDO" came up, and somebody yelled "Hey, that's our favorite thing!" And then it was followed by te word "POKEMON," to which the same guy yelled "And that's our second-favorite thing!" But I think what I remember most was that the first time I saw the movie, I absolutely hated it. I thought it was shallow and lacked any sort of coherent plot. I was eleven years old, walking out of the theater, grumbling over what 'a bad movie it was.' But now, looking back on it, I realise that it was the end of an era, the end of the best years of my life, the end of the 90s. After that movie, everything in my life slowly became more and more 'grown-up.' Soon it was ten years later, and I've become a man, and will never again know the carefree state of mind that is childhood. I think what I'm getting at here is that in the end, if you were a parent taking your kids to see this movie, and you hated the movie, just know that Pokemon, or whatever, brought us lots of fun and made us happy. My eyes still grow damp with nostalgia to remember times when my biggest worry was missing the new episode of Pokemon. Now that's all over, but every time I see this movie on TV, I'm reminded-- the world isn't all that bad, and in the end it's pretty cool through the eyes of a kid. "Pokemon The First Movie," was followed by two theatrical sequels, "Pokemon 2000" and "Pokemon 3," both of which I saw in theaters. I'm one of the few people who stuck with the fad all the way to 2001 and saw all three theatrical movies in theaters. Pokemon is still popular to this day, but not nearly as strong or bright as it was back in the day. But it will always stand as a reminder to the millennials who grew up in that joyous time called the 90s.

That's a very long review, it has nothing to do with the movie, but I think it can help some people understand the whole obsession we had for Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu back then. Nowadays, times have gotten rough, with the war in the Middle East and the economic recession. New technologies bring new fear into our hearts. It's hard to be a carefree kid these days, with all the access to horrible information about the constant killings in the war and the fact that congress pretty much threw the Millennial generation's future away by bailing out a couple of small businesses and giving them all our money for no good reason. But there's always one human emotion that makes its stand: hope. I hope that the world will one day again feel like the 90s did. It's funny, I remember a lot of people saying "I just don't get Pokemon." People like that have truly forgotten their inner-child.

Summary of Pokemon the First Movie: Mewtwo vs. Mew [VHS]

This is the first movie of Pokemon and also includes the first battle between Mewtwo and Mew!

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
