Pokemon is a popular animê show. The show has various films. This review is about the original Pokemon film. The film is a classic to Pokemon fans, but was hated por critics.
The Plot:
Special mention goes to the 10 minutos that got edited out of most versions of this film. The scenes that got cut out involve Dr. Fuji's dark plot. He was trying to bring his deceased daughter Amber back to life. Amber eventually got cloned and became Mewtwo's best friend, but she died. These scenes are some of the most well made scenes of all time. It's weird that 2 characters that barley have screen time (Dr. Fuji and Amber) have a far better plot than any of the heroes of Pokemon. This film is the only film that got me to cry. Watching Dr. Fuji's marriage fail was tear worthy, but Amber's death is the saddest I've ever been at anything fictional. no geral, global these scenes are sad, but are fantastic.
After that the film has some good scenes including Mewtwo betraying Dr. Fuji and briefly working for Giovanni. However the film stops being good when the main plot comes. The plot is Ash trying to stop Mewtwo from getting rid of humans and Pokemon. It's frustrating that the opening 10 minutos have way mais complexity and emotional impacts than the main plot. Plus Jessie, James, and Meowth's subplot is pointless. I adore the plot of the first 10 minutes, but the main plot is eh.
Characters:
I really like the characters of the early scenes. Dr. Fuji and Amber are really good characters that I admire. Mewtwo is pretty cool. Giovanni is great as usual.
However the other characters don't appeal to me that much. Ash is decent, but it's a ripoff that the main hero is less interesting than Amber who had 5 minutos of screen time. Misty and Brock barley do anything in this film.
Animation:
The animation is good. The characters look unique and cool. The film looks impressive.
Songs:
As usual the theme song is good. The film has some songs that come during the end credits. Special mention goes to "If Only Tears Could Bring You Back." The film only plays a small amount of the song, but the full version is wonderful.
The Overall:
Since most versions cut out the first 10 minutos I recommend not getting any of those. The DVD of Mewtwo Returns has the 10 minutos so I recommend getting that instead.
