Plot: The fourth Pokémon feature follows the pattern set by the previous three--and falls into the same traps. The TV series depicts the modest adventures of Pokémon trainer Ash Ketcham and...( read more read more... ) his friends Brock and Misty as they roam an imaginary world, fighting matches and making friends. The features add elaborate CG effects that don't mesh with the flat, drawn characters, and over-scaled threats that feel beyond Ash's abilities to resolve. Forty years ago, Sam, a young trainer, meets the 251st Pokémon Celebi (it looks like Tinkerbell with a goldfish for a head). To escape a mean hunter, Celebi brings Sam to the present day, where they meet Ash & Company. They also meet the evil Iron Mask Marauder who's supposed to be a member of Team Rocket, but who's much nastier than the comically inept Jessie, James, and Meowth. The Marauder corrupts Celebi with a "dark ball" and forces it to create a monster out of trees, branches, etc., that is blatantly copied from the Night Walker in Princess Mononoke. Ash and his friends eventually save the day, the Pokémon, and the forest--but it all feels like we've been there/done that. --Charles Solomon

    although the graphics are great... but the story and the action were not so good.
    there were some situations u expect a great action but nothing happens. and the story can be shorted in one line

    This is a good movie about time travel and using powerful Pokemon to fullfill nasty deeds. The story was good and the characters were awesome! The Iron Masked Maurader was a good villian and especially for Team Rocket. Secune was cool, and the added scenes with Prof. Oak were really good!

    Alright I've said it a couple time's now, you either like Pokemon or you don't. That will make all the difference in whether you like the movie or not.

    (Viewed US Version) Neat story ideas, but some pitfalls that I suspect are due to bad decisions on the part of the US localization.

    Lame, EXTREMELY formulaic if you have seen the other Pokemon movies you need not see this one because they're all basically the same plot. Only worth a viewing if you are a Pokemon fanatic.

    This is my second favorite Pokemon movie. Again, it made me cry quite a lot, it was very touching, and the surprising twist made me feel differently about a certain character. Also, Celebi is very cute, and the 4Kids cast does an excellent job, as usual.

    its an terrible movie, and even if parents will be rolling their eyes at the cheesey plot, lame dialogue and childish jokes, it'll be like god's gift to nerdish 7 year olds. some parts of this movie seem too creepy for a kid-targeted audience, and it is a bit dull when the characters stay in the same location the whole way through, but will be good for fans of the T.V. show, if there are any left.

    One of the richest Pokemon movies yet, and, in terms of the translation and transformation into the English version, probably the best.

    Probably the prettiest animation out of all the Pokemon films. A bit too soppy for my taste. I think the ones before it were better. But still - a good watch.

    I loved this one even though I wasn't as into pokemon anymore. It was due to the fact it was semi-epic and the fact that a cartoon was using space-time warping for the majority of the movie!!!!

    What I didn't like about it was that it was released not by Warner Pictures, but rather by Miramax Pictures.
