TheGiantBaconBirdOfDeath *WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD*Yes sure... the pacing was a bit poor. And it did have lots of flaws, yes it did feel a little short, and yes I know Xerneas & Yveltal didn't really battle, they just had a starring contest. BUT... It was way better than the other 2 movies. Even better than Jirachi Wish Maker, Giratina & the sky warrior and even better than the FIRST movie cause at least this one isn't overrated like the first is and at least Pikachu wasn't brought back to life after dying in a STUPID way like Ash was in the first movie. Ash was brought back to life by TEARS in the first movie but Xerneas just used its power to bring Pikachu back to life. And it was a good start for the XY Movies. Imo Hoopa & the clash of ages is worse than this movie will ever be. I thought Ash, Clemont, Serena, and Bonnie protecting Diancie from a group of jewel thieves was pretty entertaining to watch. It was fun to watch Serena and Bonnie do stuff with it too. The part where Yveltal awakens is probably my favorite part of the movie cause Yveltal is my favorite legendary Pokemon behind Kyogre, and Lunala too. Out of all the Pokemon movies, this one was the cutest. What made me like the movie more is that Diancie let Bonnie keep a diamond she created and it didn't disappear, we find that out at the end of the movie. That was very cute. The movie wasn't too bad. I definitely wouldn't call it the worst movie, or the best either cause there were some flaws in the movie. I still take it over the first movie, the 15th movie, the 16th movie, and especially the Jirachi Wish Maker one ANY day. It really isn't that bad. I recommend giving it a watch. ^-^

Eric Stevenson It was great to see a pokemon movie with Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont into it. Unfortunately, the movie keeps making the same mistakes that the other lesser Pokémon films made. It's too short! In a movie that has tons of characters that can be really annoying! It's bad when they try to cram in all of these characters in something that's so short. I am still glad to be introduced to all of these new pokemon, even though I'll probably forget them. This movie's plot features a pokemon princess (yes, really) Diancie, who has to make diamonds to stop a cocoon containing Yveltal with help from Xerneas.Does it seem like I'm just making up words? I feel bad for not being able to keep up with them. Team Rocket do appear for awhile, so they're cool. This just tries to put in so many pokemon and I think they're like five different people that are coming after Diancie in the end. I guess since all featured pokemon in movies can use telepathy, it's not a big deal to hear them talk. The movies themselves are formulaic with Ash and the gang simply meeting some new legendary talking pokemon they have to save. The earlier films really did have variety. Not even an AmourShipping moment! *1/2

yalvihidayat diamonds are beautiful right? but this movie fails "how to balance it's aspect as well" so this movie almost fail to entertain their audience. mainstream plot it's one weakness point here and does't make much surprise and duration it's too short. Boring it's impact of weak aspect of this movie. i can telling you about several scene that merely become boring like: -The side of evilness of black bird it's always lose with magical deer in single scene -Antagonist ( Argus,Millis,Marilyn,and ninja riot )ended to be good person ( this end scene is too mainstream belong it's storyline, and i think one of them become more villainous to next film of... ) -some reviewers including me doesn't found that called "epic battle". I just see black bird goes away and world become peace. Doesn't like "Independece Day" a 1996 film or "Battle of Surabaya" a 2015 foreign animated film shows epic battle in different style.What makes this film is good is belong visual effect at all. Despite some critics down voted it's visual effect but for me it's enough for me to make eye pleased.not only that... base moral lesson is quite strong for base children watch. Sometimes simple jokes was in this film even doesn't make funny or laugh. well, overall this film need to trying to pay attention of audience, increase it' visual effect, storyline, and acting performance as well...END REVIEW

hayashimegumi Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction (2014) has better plot, villains and characters compared to most of the previous Pokémon films. Beautifully animated, what's most pleasant about this animated feature is that there are no more pointless just-there-to-be-there supporting characters and the new travelling companion characters are much more interesting and endearing! Then, there are more villains in this one as well. In fact, it has the most villains by far. Some may find this overwhelming but I find this great! Finally, a typical villain's pursuit of legendary Pokémon makes sense; a lot of villains are after Diancie here because mythical or legendary Pokémon are supposed to be well-known by many! Those creatures aren't supposed to be something so exclusive to the featured villain to the extend that no one else in the entire Pokémon Universe knows about it so in this case, there are four parties which is great! There are also more mega evolved Pokémon showcased in Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction (2014) which is nice. It is fun to see how much Pokémon has evolved over the years. Unfortunately, legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal are only briefly featured. They are still powerful here in their own ways but I guess this animated feature is ultimately all about Diancie. Those who love these two legendary Pokémon may be delighted to watch them coming to life in animation but they may be disappointed as well since these two are just a minor character with not much purpose; with one giving life and the other doing destruction.The shiniest part of all, is surely Diancie's scenes. It is a Pokémon Princess, made of diamond and can make diamonds too. She is so pretty, princessy and pinkish! Her charming and adorable personality can be amusing at times but she is always in trouble so too bad she is made a damsel in distress here. Still, there is a great friendship story between the characters, some feminine cosplay for a bit and unexpected turns of situations thus overall Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction (2014) certainly is an enjoyable one and it is certainly the most kawaii Pokémon film ever!As a conclusion, the beautifully animated Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction (2014) is not perfect but as a whole, the animated feature is certainly better than many of the previous Pokémon films in many aspects. It can also be dark yet uplifting due to the powerful characters, beautiful friendship and a very gentle ending!There are six generations of Pokémon to-date and this one is a great start for the sixth generation films! Hopefully, the performance of the next Pokémon films will not go downhill again but it is quite unlikely since the new Pokémon XY series seems to be promising!
