Blah_Bhardwaj said: this remake lacks all the good old feel of the original movie I feel like nothing watching this 3d remake of one of he best pokemon movies of all time Could you elaborate? |
| just no LOL the start was ok, but as soon as Ash and the rest appeared... it looked so much worse... i skipped through a few parts, it's literally the same movie with worse graphics (at least for the humans, the fights were a little better and some added scenes were nice) ... but what's the point? was this really the only movie for 2019? tbh i'm disappointed, i thought this would at least be a fusion of all the 3 movies that had mewtwo, or something like that, but whatever @jrx78 i edited my post before you replied... tbh i think the fights looked a little better (i only watched the parts with charizard and the other 2...as well as a bit of the mew vs mewtwo), but the character designs were not that good, some stuff they added was also nice but still what's the point of this remake? were they out of ideas already? |

I think this movie is just as good because they were able to imitate the original movie's animation while putting their own spin on it. For example (spoiler for anyone who hasn't finished it) when Ash turned to stone and the Pokémon were crying I think the animators did a good job of conveying their sadness and it actually seemed more realistic this time. Anyway I respect your opinion though. |

It must have been the 1st movie's anniversary. I mean the 1st movie was great so i was happy for a remake. |
| now that i watched the crying scene again, they didn't put any sounds for anyone other than pikachu, how is that more realistic? |

jrx78 said: the original had sounds, and tbh the crying expressions were already good there lol winddevil1 said: now that i watched the crying scene again, they didn't put any sounds for anyone other than pikachu, how is that more realistic?

| Despite the title of this film implying it would be an "evolution" of the original movie, as expected from the trailers it's just a downgrade of it. Many scenes had way less impact and looked visually worse than in the original. This movie just didn't need to exist. If they made an original movie using this CG it wouldn't be as much of an issue since there'd be nothing to compare it to. The way the copied Pokemon exited their containers was boring. Mew playing on the windmill wasn't as cute. Ash struggling to break Pikachu free from the machine's clutches wasn't as intense. Mew and Mew Two look weird at low angles lol. I could go on, but you get the idea. I suppose a plus would be that they made that DNA strand looking thing that Mewtwo floats down from make more sense. They turned them into stairs, as apposed to a weird slide/ramp thing that served no purpose as they were in the original. Still, i am a fan of the movies' plot regardless of the lackluster execution. And hey, the water looked amazing! 7/10 |

| They initially looked like clay figurines, but you got used to it lol... Any new kid watching this for the first time would probably love it, just like we did for the first film, 20 or so years ago. It was alright. |
| Okay, this was good and still as moving as the first time I watched it. Nostalgia really is something amazing. I haven't had the opportunity to watch every single Pokémon movie yet, but this has to be among the best between them, even though it isn't perfect. It's truly a pity that Kasumi, Takeshi, and those other three, nameless trainers didn't have a bigger role to play since they were there, but I guess there was only so much they could fit in. I love how Kasumi managed to protect Togepi from it all though. And those pokémon fighting like that, Satoshi turning into stone, Pikachu desperately trying to help him, moving the other pokémon to tears. It was all so powerful. Mew is also adorably playful, and I feel for Mewtwo, being arbitrarily created into this world. But I guess it all worked out for him in the end as well, he found some kind of answer. And I'm not a fan of the character design for the people here, but the pokémon looked great, and I loved the ED song. |
 |
| It is what it is. A remake of the first movie with 3D animation with some small additions like Brock going gaga over the girl trainer even though he never did that in the original movie and incorporating some modern moves like Energy Ball and Leaf Storm. Now make it bland. The OST is literally nonexistent. There were a lot of scenes in the first movie that were improved a lot through the use of music. This time, it's way too silent to my liking. The animation itself isn't bad. I'm actually impressed tbh because the movements were actually fluid. The models themselves needed some time to get used to because they looked like clay dolls. |
 |
| Despite being worse than the original, it was still good, the ending song is amazing. And the scene eveyone was waiting for, still made me cry like a kid. |
 |
| totally baffled that the score for this is so low !! i guess people didn't like the animation? personally i wish we'd get more anime movies w decent cg animation.. sure it looked a little stiff sometimes but other than that i thought the animation was really nice ! designs were fine, and the textures were generally well done as well. still held up for me in the feelings department (cried just as much as i usually do w/ the original). you could also tell the english cast cares a lot for pokemon.. glad that some of the vas from the original were back :) |
| It's is just Pokémon 1 movie with CGI graphics. Nothing more, nothing less. It even has a good spanish dub with the same puns/idioms from the original series. So I enjoyed it, my little brother who never saw the original enjoyed it too, so the movie accomplished its purpuse of entertain us and have a good time. |
| I really enjoyed the original first movie, to see it back in such a fitting cgi version was really enjoyable as well. They really found the perfect middle between anime, game and cgi if you ask me. Would love to see a game of this quality made with it or further movies to be honest! Really enjoyed it and I guess for the release they cut that horrible part where Pikachu talks? Or was that something else, either way it sure was a nice movie to relive again! |
 |
| Well, is just the first movie done in full cgi, the pokemon look good, humans not so much, overall it was ok I guess. |
 |
| i love it, despite being a remake its still cool imo one of the movie theme is basically original vs copies/clones lol so is this movie better than the original? i got no idea since its been decades since i saw the first movie of pokemon but i feel they both have their own charm and the visuals are amazing imo especially the camera effects or rotations that 3DCG is very good at |
| The 3DCG makes me want to vomit. How can anyone compliment it? It looks like a video game cutscene all the time and the character's faces look so stupid. This CG looks on par with Berserk 2016 (okay that might be a little harsh). The original movie wasn't the best pokemon movie, but at least it looked great, but this is just BAD. |
| Hunter x Hunter is a 1/10 |
| The movie is good. I liked it a lot, more than I expected. I know anime watchers generally don't like this kind of graphics but I like it, also it was well done. So, for me is more than ok. |
 |
| So, my biggest problem with the film isn't the animation, it's that some of the new voice actors are still bad. Ash's VA has greatly improved since Battle Frontier. But how are Misty and James still so terrible? It really hurts. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| The script wasn't bad and I appreciated that they expanded upon Mewtwo's point of view but both the visuals and sound were awful. The faces not only looked odd but lacked expression and the CG lacked weight to its movement. Venasaur, a 100kg Pokemon being thrown to the ground looked like it had the impact of a rubber toy and instances like this distracted me throughout the entire movie. Better sound effects would've gone a long way. For example, footsteps having no sound, a huge steel door closing had no sound and there was a lack of music also. Not sure why they remade it to do a sub-par job, money I suppose. Besides these qualms it was fairly close to the original. |
| The physics was quite good for a CGI movie. If only it didn't look that shit OMG!!! What have they done? |
| I actually avoided this all this time because I thought "No it's disgusting" but honestly even though I still don't think it's very good, I found it enjoyable. Especially in how they fixed the english dub's major fuck ups. And that little song by Team Rocket was very cute. |
 |
| When I saw the netflix logo at the beginning, I knew it wouldn't be good. But at least we have the first version as an alternative. It is more a useless movie than a bad one. |
| Mew was so frickin' adorable in this reboot! |

| funny thing about the "remake" movie, while the original movie is 1:25, the remake movie that took away some precious scenes from the original is 1:37, my solution for this is the fact that the "reviving" scene took from some reason to be shot from every angle possible. really disappointed with the movie, especially because those precious scenes explaining big deal about the "reviving' part. |
| This is now my least favorite anime of all time :) Total dogshit. |
| Severely underrated. It is so much better than the original. Plot is concise, pacing was perfect, they dropped all the unnecessary dialogue, and the drama. The Pokémon original vs clone battle drama was concise to no longer cringe, the Ash scene was actually FUCKING good this time. AND also so glad they dropped the whole professor backstory bit, that was not important to the grand scheme and made it boring. In exchange, we got so much more improvements. Charizard got more flare with Dragonite and the clone Charizard, Mewtwo got to battle an Onix, The stupid wooden boat was replaced by the funny Lapras Boat by Team Rocket XD The CGI was AWESOME TOO !!! Ash Brock Misty looked cool and the Pokémon fights were BADASS !!! |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| I'm watching this movie after reaching the 100th episode of Pokémon Journeys Satoshi in this film looks a lot like Baianinho from Casas Bahia 😂  Furthermore, the melody of this 1998 film is so beautiful |
 |
| Ya know I didn't think this was the best movie but it definitely isn't because of the CGI. The 3D animation in this movie is actually really good, especially the Pokemon. But specifically that Gyrados, it looked amazing. Since the story was 1 to 1 and the only real change was how Team Rocket were dressed as sailors instead of vikings for the boast scene that must be what killed the movie for everyone else. |
| Leaving out the origin of Mewtwo's origin is a shame. The Team Rocket boat bit was yet again funny. Wasn't a big fan of the CGI even though it's not bad CGI, it just doesn't work for Pokemon. Not to say it was a bad movie, I still enjoyed it but it wasn't necessary imo, just watch the original WITH Mewtwo's origin story. And yes Pikachu trying to get Ash back still hurts :/ |
