Amazon.co.uk Review
The world domination of Pokémon begets their first theatrical movie. This adventure is a little more complex and dark than the popular TV series, but kids who live for the show will gobble up this film and ask for seconds. Those baffled by the show's popularity, however, will see nothing better here. Mewtwo, a new type of Pokémon designed by scientists to be the ultimate fighter, decides he wants to rule the world and challenges all the great Pokémasters to battle. Of course, our intrepid heroes Ash, Misty and Brock are there to tangle with Mewtwo and spoil his devilish schemes. The film is a tad more emotional than the show (that is, there is some emotion), with Ash sacrificing himself to defend his beloved Pikachu.

Would you really expect the makers of this worldwide phenomenon to radically change its winning formula? The feature is only 55-minutes long, but there's also a 20-minute short, "Pikachu's Vacation." For the Pokémon novice, this escapade will truly baffle: the narrated tale has virtually no dialogue except Pokémon speaking their names (Bulbasaur, for instance, will only express emotion by using variations of his name: "Bulba, Bulba-SAUR!"). --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Its Poke' Tastic, 25 Jul 2006
By The-Final-Fantasy (Gourock, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pokemon - The First Movie [VHS] [2000] (VHS Tape)
I havent seen this film for ages and yet it's still good.
The Pokemon short nearly brought me to tears when Charizard got its head stuck, as Charizard is my all time favourite Pokemon. I rented it out again and when Ash was hit by Mewtwo and Mew, the sight of Pikachu crying - I had to stop myself crying as well.
It features Pokemon you rarely see in the TV series - Gyarados for example. You also see Mew the rarest Pokemon ever.
The only bad thing Pokemon (its a small thing) is that I think Ash cares too much about Pikachu.
Even so, its still a great movie so I reckon you buy it - at any age!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Pokemon - of course it's good!, 28 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Pokemon - The First Movie [VHS] [2000] (VHS Tape)
As a father of a five year old I was increasingly worried about the "insidious threat" of this "venemous card game". Then one evening my wife and I played to "see what all the fuss was about".

I have been hooked ever since.

The movie ties in very well with the latter end of the current TV series (UK terrestrial) and is overall well put together. I freely admit to wet eyes when Ash sacrifices himself (but then I cried when Baloo got it in Jungle Book and Arnie got it in T2!).

However, as a poke-addict I feel that the best part of the DVD is in fact Pikachu's Vacation. This is very reminiscent of the Pokemon Island episode when the Pokemon were separated from their trainers and 90% of the dialogue was in Poke-talk with subtitles. Absolutely hilarious. I am sure that anyone with a bouncy child can sympathise with Pikachu and friends having to console/care for a tiny Togepi.

Anyway, enough blabbering. Open your mind and watch the film.

4.0 out of 5 stars this movie is the best thing since sliced bread, 4 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Pokemon - The First Movie [VHS] [2000] (VHS Tape)
As an avid teenage (yes teenage) Pokémon fan I can safely say that this movie is fantastic. The never before seen footage at the beginning sheds a little more light on the situation than at the cinema but admitedly would be clearer if they showed the whole ten minutes. I recommend this for anyone who is or has a child who is into Pokémon.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's OK. And kids adore it.
It was watchable for adults, actually not bad at all (OK, OK, of course my wife hated it); plus kids liked it a lot, so four out of five is the least it deserves.
