InspireGato Film Perfection

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Owen Ogletree A lot of people seem to really like this one. Some even rank it up there with "Lucario and the Mystery of Mew." I thought it was good, but for me, there are some flaws that keep it from achieving greatness.The story is pretty good, but it is weighed down by several clichés, such as the perceived bad guy actually being the one who saved the girl years ago. There are some concepts that are rather interesting, and the mythology of Dialga and Palkia is pretty cool.I liked Alice as a character, but some of the other supporting characters are less appealing. There were a lot of stupid moments with Antonio, and Baron Alberto is a total cliché (not to mention that the scenes where he became Lickilicki were occasionally painful to watch.)I liked Darkrai a lot. He has quite a presence and is a compelling character. However, it was pretty disappointing that he ended up being alive at the end, because it kind of undid the impact of his heroic sacrifice. The real emotional sacrifices at the end of "Latios and Latias" and "Lucario and the Mystery of Mew" were part of what made them so great.Things got really good in the climax, though. The battle between Dialga, Palkia, and Darkrai while Ash and Dawn trying to make it up the tower to tune the bells provided some real excitement and really elevated the film. By far one of the best climaxes in a Pokémon movie.In my opinion, this is the most overrated Pokémon movie. It didn't do it for me the way 2, 3, 5, and 8 did. I would have probably considered it one of the best if a few things were fixed. It's still a good film, though, and it's certainly better than most of the later Pokémon movies. Well worth checking out for fans of the series.RATING: B

Palkia17 I'm still a Pokemon fan & I always will be! Because I grew up with Pokemon when I was little. When I first saw this movie I was like WOAH! This is one of the best Pokemon movies I've ever seen so far. & I had this feeling that I must buy this movie. The best thing I really like about this movie is that the movie followed up on the plot perfectly. The song "Oracion" turned out to be a beautiful inspiration to me. The special effects in 3D turned out great. & best of all it had such a sad but cute happy ending to it. I totally disagree on how the star rating turned out to be. I think this movie deserves something better. I would give this movie an 8.5 star rating. From all the Pokemon movies that I've seen they have been starting to improve quite a bit. Great job! Keep up the good work!

destoroyah98886 The usual, two powerful Pokémon show up, and start to fight because of some kind of prophecy that the main characters undoubtedly figure out or already know, then you get a glimpse of the title Pokémon once or twice. and of course, there's the scene where everything falls apart, and Ash is always there to save the day, then the big "shocker" one of the main Pokémon dies, and the battle continues, somehow peace is made, and the more powerful Pokémon disappears, leaving the other one to put up with Ash's blubbering about how everything was destroyed. so, the damage is reversed, and everything is back to normal, then comes the mourning for the Pokémon that was killed in battle, as they walk away, pikachu sees a shadow, behold, the Pokémon is alive, then the credits start, the end. A closing statement: When Ash started to yell, I wanted Palkia to vaporize him and leave the rest of the people in space! I mean come on, logically, you can't just tell a super powered monster what to do and have the monster obey, see what I mean? it's so predictable!

eva_luke2003 I have been a Pokemon Fan from the start but I was slightly disappointed with this film.Many pokemon fan know that 4Kids entertainment had the rights to all pokemon anime/movies how ever it was then taken over by "Pokemon.inc" so the leading roll of Ash ketchum would no longer be played by Veronica Taylor but by Sarah Natochenny (A sound alike vice actor) no offense to Sarah but Veronica was the Voice many people had come to know as Ash's voice. How ever the sound alike sounds NOTHING like Ash, and this movie is the best example of bad dubbing, all the original voices have been changed for the worst except for Jessie (the red headed member of team rocket) who for some reason sounds the same. But aside from the voices, the story line and plot of this movie, kept me watching till the end. a nice choice of music for the battling moments, The story is set around the time of the Diamond and pearl animes time line, as two pokemon are engaged in a battle caught between space and time, in the mean time ash and his buddies arrive in a new town, where Darkrai ( a pokemon that is cause of your bad dreams ) is bringing chaos to the town and its people. could this be the end of the pokemon world as we know it ?
