Of course, there's little else of interest about Pokemon beyond the consumption factor. Buy more.

Oh my, I can not believe this movie got as low as it did. This is a GREAT MOVIE! Fun plot, story, action, Pokémon, all around an amazing movie. It might just be my opinion but this movie should not be so low, its simply a great movie to watch.

I love this movie. Why does it have a 28? I loved the lugia theme the most.

Will keep kids happy and parents mildly entertained.

The storylines are as confusing (or as simple?) to the uninitiated as they were before, but that doesn't stop them from making sense to the kids.

Mind-numbing sequel to "Pokemon the First Movie."

Avoid this movie unless a) your child has refused to eat until you take him or her, or b) your house is being fumigated to kill an infestation of mosquitoes with the West Nile virus.

As good as cut-rate animation that seems to consist of screen savers can be.

So I don't care what critics think I just love this movie. Atmosphere, characters, story are just great! My beloved part is music though. I will never forget Lugia's theme song, it's so beautiful.

Out of all movies in the Pokemon movie trilogy, this is my favorite. The plot is bigger than the first movie because everyone, Pokemon, and the whole world is at stake. Note that I'm taking about the Japanese version, it's dark, and more tense than the English version. The movie does have humor like Flura thinking that Satoshi is Kasumi's boyfriend. The collector who plans on kidnapping the Pokemon gods, Freezer, Thunder, and Fire, is cunning. This movie has some educational value such as Kenji acknowledging that combining water and electricity breaks down H2 and O, and when fire (not be confused with Fire the Bird) comes in contact with those gases, it creates an explosion. But, 4KIDS THINK WE'RE TOO DUMB ENOUGH TO KNOW BASIC SCIENCE. The music is great, it fits the movies mood, so is the US version, that's up there. I remember at the theater that I used to be haunted when Satoshi was seemingly dead on the frozen sea, but not enough to scare me for days. Critics hate this movie because of choppy animation and voice acting. Understand that they're just talking about the US dub. After all, 4Kids dubbed poorly in animes. Overall, I personally prefer the the Japanese movie over the US version. US: 4/10, JP: 7/10

It doesn't appear to be as engaging as the one that came before it and some that came after it. The story won't grab your attention like the original would have.

Although its less hypocritical than the original, it still lacks the qualities **** movie, and it doesn't bring anything to the table for people outside of the fanbase.
