CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

adesunandar The Pokemon First Movie and pokemon generation 1 movie with mew (my favorite pokemon) and mewtwo as the legendary pokemon.The Story really good, and the feeling when the pikachu's cried for ash really touching and I had cried a lot when I saw that scene.The Fighting scene were originated just like Pokemon generation 1 series, and with comedy inside I can give this movie high rate. sometimes I can Laugh with this crispy jokes and sometimes I felt sad with the sad story inside

j-jessie-weaver It's hard for me to believe that I used to love "Pokémon" when I was younger. I owned a few of the VHS tapes and some of the toys. Nowadays, the only "Pokémon" related thing I enjoy is the video game, "Pokkén Tournament" for the Nintendo Wii U. I don't like the anime series anymore; However, I find "Pokémon: The First Movie" to be nothing but a piece of stupid, nonsensical, filler crap. That is literally how horrible this film is.My parents took me to see this movie back in the 90's when I was a child and I ate it up like candy. Unfortunately, my opinion on it has changed. It has got to be one of the worst animated films I've ever seen. It is rotten to the very core and gives a terrible message to its target audience.Not only is the message confusing, but also hypocritical. These characters take these creatures out to battle, yet when they see them fight clone versions of themselves, they have the gall to turn a 180 degree angle and say fighting is wrong. Congratulations, movie. You've made the characters of "Pokémon" into lousy, pathetic hypocrites.As if the plot of the film wasn't bad enough, there's also these ridiculous filler scenes with Team Rocket, and they aren't the main antagonists in here, Mewtwo is. The writers could have just left them out of the picture completely. They have no excuse to be in the movie whatsoever.If I had a choice between watching this movie and looking at paint dry on the wall, I'd pick the paint. "Pokémon: The First Movie" is garbage. No, "garbage" is too good a word for it. It's an absolute disgrace to animated films, and I feel ashamed of myself for loving it as a child.

lisafordeay I remember as a little girl I was a huge fan of Pokemon. Everyday I would watch all the Pokemon cartoons and enjoy them whenever they were on TV.I even collected all the Pokemon cards too and would swap them with my former best friend who was also a fan of Pokemon too. Then in 1998 it got turned into a movie and I was super excited about it my mom brought me to see it and it was the first film I ever seen in the cinemas. This film Pokemon The First Movie: Mewtwo strikes back is about a cloned version of Mew who escapes from a laboratory who created Mewtwo by using Mew's DNA, and creates more cloned Pokemon's using a special machine that creates them. So its up to Ash and his friends who travel to a mysterious island by mysterious vikings(really James and Jesse from Team Rocket in disguise) and they come across a secret hiding place where they meet a brainwashed nurse(who is working for Mewtwo who she calls My Master).But can Ash and his gang save the day and stop Mewtwo making more cloned Pokemon's. One scene I remember in this film was the part where Ash turns to stone and Picahiu cries and all the other Pokemon's cried too and he is magically brought back to life again(yeah Tangled anyone where Rapunzel's tear brought back Eugene back to life again?).Overall I found this film forgettable as I haven't seen this film since 2000 as I used to have it on VHS but sadly my cousin destroyed the VHS tape by accident and I was devastated when it got broke. And I remember Christina Aguilrea sung a song called We're A Miracle in the ending credits. As a kid I loved this movie,now I just find it well terrible. I guess I just moved on from being a hardcore Pokemon fan and moved to other films that I am a huge fan of. But this film does hold a special place in my heart as it was the first film I seen. The acting is meh,the story is kinda complicated as its like watching a Sci-Fi flick about cloning. I guess if you are new to Pokemon then you might like it but like I said im gone past my Pokemon days now.3/10

Sagar Bhatt There are two facts I'll never understand: 1. This movie grossed more than 163 million dollars. 2. This movie has a 5.7 rating.DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. It'll be the most wasteful 1h 15m you ever spend, even if you procrastinate on a regular basis. Even if you love Pokemon, you're probably better off watching a few episodes than watching this. If you're older than 2 years of age, don't waste your time.Let me reveal the AWFUL plot of this movie. So there's Mew, the greatest Pokemon ever. Then somebody makes a clone of Mew, Mewtwo. Mewtwo tries taking over the world with the help of clones of other Pokemons. He invites "Pokemon Masters" like 10-year old Ash (owner of Pikachu) to take over the pokemons and make clones of them. He has the clones fight with the originals but Pikachu refuses to fight and inspires Ash to stop the fight between Mew and Mewtwo. Ash stops the fight and turns to stone, then all the Pokemons and their clones start crying and the tears somehow come over to Ash and revive him (goodness knows how). A TWO YEAR OLD COULD'VE THOUGHT SOMETHING BETTER.I still can't believe this movie grossed 163 million dollars. As for the exaggerated 5.7 rating, that's because of (1) die-hard fans who can't rate it below 10 because it's Pokemon and (2) those who give it a 7 or 8 rating thinking "it was horrible, but it must be great for kids".This movie is for kids, so if you're beyond the age of about 9 I advice you stay away from it. That's not to say that I recommend it for those below 9 -- there are much better kids movies than this.
