patboldt Pokemon movies tend to be bad movies, at least that's what everybody normally thinks if you have never seen the Japanese version of these movies. Japanese subs can never save the movie but they do help them tremendously. And this movie has that most apparant. Okay, so here's the deal with this movie. The English Dub is like a good bad movie which is stupid a lot of the time but still fun to watch, kinda like a funny Shyamalan movie but the Japanese Sub is infinitely better, but not enough to save the whole movie and is comparable in quality to something like a good Shyamalan movie. The reason is that the movie itself is the same between the two but the writing, themes, and music choices are actually superior in the sub than in the dub. The reason is that although the dub music sounds good, there are choices made in the sub version that really make certain scenes a lot more engaging and powerful with one exception, the opening song. The song in the Dub is kickass awesome while the sub's theme song is really stupid.Thematically, the sub is also a million times better. Rather than subverting and ignoring the original message of the movie with dumb politically correct nonsense, the sub carries an interesting series of moral questions that actually build on one another. The movie has effort put into the message which is reinforced by dialogue, scenes, and actions performed by characters and Pokemon. Furthermore, the message isn't obvious and you have to think about what's going on. However, some things are kinda wrong with the dialogue at times and some lines unfortunately don't make sense, however it is still better than the dub's dialogue. However, with that said the Sub can't change certain plot decisions made in the movie meaning that a lot of stuff can't be explained with logic. However, the explanation is actually there for most of the sub and has things that can be understood if one pays attention to the movie...for the most part. This is something the dub doesn't do, it just lays down a bad explanation for events that doesn't make sense to the viewer(s) and you just have to break your suspension of disbelief. The voice acting in the sub is also way better. People sound organic and conversations feel natural between people in the sub while people in the dub sound stupid and corny a lot of the time with a few exceptions. Overall I'm giving this a 7/10 for the Sub while the dub gets a whopping 5/10. If your gonna watch this and want a bad movie, watch the dub you will not be disappointed. If you love Pokemon, like me however, and want a better movie (not great) but better movie please don't watch the dub, just listen to the Pokemon theme in the dub and then watch the Japanese sub. It is a lot better and way more enjoyable.
RetroPizzaTimeCritic The movie about Ash and his friends, Misty and Brock on it way to mystery island when the storms is here, where other trainers made it early and introducing Mewtwo who own the island to taken away Pokemon to clones thems and taken over the world. before Mew to join the real all Pokemon to stop Mewtwo and his clones Pokemon for fighting each othersI really like this movie its you are fans of Anime/Pokemon you could check this movie out on Warner Home Video on VHS and DVD on Amazon, ebay, Pawn shop, flea market, or etc. or you could have widescreen released on Viz Media on DVD and Bluray in February 9, 2016.This is one of my favorite Pokemon movie of all time
timebeetlebrannigan679 two characters are a clone of the other... one electric mouse sidekick who is selling tools like R2D2/ewoks in the star wars franchise. Japanese have learned a lot since world war II and are using military style propaganda training to sell toys and some of the work is esoteric occult like Hitler learned in the war, and some is black magik they are selling children using their sexual powers Plot structure is DNA spiral... one strain is incorporate spliced into two and the result is that while one prays on the soul the other is using the body as a host mechanism to the give the soul false hunger for illusion, pokemon games and game boy advance/super Nintendo.good for movie, not best for hicldren but in my ed class this was one of the xamples of a movie that does its best job selling to childrenanother character is metwo aka "the dark one", the "false twin" who is the black antichrist of the main character mew ash ketchum. he falls for illuminati doctrine/false flag and ufos, some of the imagery is directly linked to Satan worship and I am reminding my grilfriends bible right now and I've taken several notes how Lord Metwo is throne to Thiraka the Ethiopian King and Brock/Misty represent the Head of JupiterOuija/candles/satanic lamps are all directly referenced in this movie, as well as "balls"
yalvihidayat This movie was great with entertaining and make people happy while they watch this movie. But with 75 minute plus 21 minutes for Pikachu Vacation version doesn't make appeal with visual effect,special effect, decent quality of dubbing or acting maybe and some screenplay looks shabby. Of course if this happen, some adults cannot be entertained with this situation. Children will entertained with it so... i couldn't think if this not bad movie not good movie. I'll give this movie with scoreVisual effect 45/100 Special effect 65/100 Creativity 80/100 Entertaining 60/100 Acting 55/100 Story 75/100Overall 61-67 with B- Bellow goodEnd of reviewing Sorry if my English tenses were wrong
