GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

David Roggenkamp Let's review, Sailor Moon is an older anime, it is one of the first to gain worldwide fame along with the likes of "Dragonball" and "Dragonball Z". Unlike those two, it was a show meant for girls but somehow managed to attract a male audience also. I suppose it has nothing to do with the super heroine attire, fact they function as a team, and otherwise are out and about in a typical plot of the day episode. Actually it does; but the series also spawned a few movies.One of them goes by the name of "Sailor Moon R" after the series that was running at the time. This movie features an alien that resembles Ail and Ann of the short mini-arc that ran during the first ten episodes of Sailor Moon R. He somehow drifts in space for eons, before landing on Earth and befriending a boy in the hospital that has lost his parents. Touching to say the least. He leaves for space due to life force differences (he can't live here), and otherwise wants to find the perfect flower for the young boy. He later returns and events as we know them have progressed.The boy is Tuxedo Kamen; he is actually prince of the Earth and he has a love affair with the reincarnated princess of the Moon from nearly a millenia ago. The alien reappears, learns of this and all disaster breaks free. He is seemingly possessed by a plant and is hellbent on sucking all of the planet's life force dry. This is nothing new here as far as Sailor Moon is concerned, but the fact the plot of the movie focuses so heavily on friendship and what it entails, is definitely new to the series. The rest of the movie is spent between characters either fighting, acts of jealousy or testing bonds of their friendship.There is a happy ending, and it plays out similar to the first part of Sailor Moon R. It makes me wonder if they were not just rewriting it for a movie or if the movie itself was rewritten into that series for syndication. Either way, the movie has better writing than the series normally does and is a good view for fans of the series. Casual anime viewers may appreciate the shoujou genre and art that this series is known; all make it into the movie.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=6218).

bigmike_03 Sailor Moon R the Movie is a handful of scenes away from being a great movie. I am a huge Sailor Moon fan so my criticism is not for lack of adoration, in fact, it's quite the opposite. The animation of this film is a step up from the series, but with a 60-minute run time, it seems as if minor, yet important details have been skipped.I won't drag the film down with negative stuff right off the bat. The action scenes are very good from the first fight in the city, to the battle in space and finally the last stand on the comet.The setup for the film is textbook and the end is very buff, but I feel as if something is missing from the middle. I was hoping for at least a 90-minute "movie" feel, but that wasn't the case. Everything seemed rushed after Fiore takes Tuxedo Mask back to the comet.As always, the music is top notch. The scene where Usagi wants a kiss from Mamoru is comical and the Moon Revenge song will stay in your head for a few days. Hell, I thought the American song, Power of Love, was pretty good as well.Chibi-USA, whether you like her or not, is essentially useless in this movie. I can only speak of Sailor Moon R the series in which Chibi-USA is a focal point in determining the fate of the future Usagi and Mamoru. No such danger exists in the film.Fiore is a complete knockoff of Ali from the Doom Tree series. He looks just like Ali in both alien and human form. The animators should have at least added Ann and a Doom Tree while they were at it.My suspension of disbelief kind of went out the window when the senshi were able to breathe in space.Despite these drawbacks, I think R the Movie is solid and with some more meat in the middle of the film it could have been great. I guess I'm just spoiled by the first season of Sailor Moon and Naoko's manga.

rebellionofone The English Version is a good bit different than the Japanese version. The final song in the English version, during the fight to save the scouts is called "Power of Love" in the English Version. Sung by Jennifer Cihi, the voice of Sailor Moon. Its for once a good song. The Japanese version song would take some getting adjusting to.I prefer the Japanese Fiore Voice, and There's some definite cleavage in this one....Nice metorite thing...whatever it is.And Definitely watch the anime through on the original Japanese soundtrack.Rini still had that Luna kitty ball *random thought of the moment*

simontemplar777 This movie teaches that the power of love is powerful enough to overcome many obstacles! There is something I really like about this movie and that is that it teaches two lessons. Firstly that love is a very strong feeling that helps anyone as I said before overcome many obstacles; and secondly that true friends are there when you need them, and they stick by you through thick and thin. Well this movie is highly recommendable for people of all ages. I hope when you watch it you like it as much as I did.
