Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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 (but don't you worry, Ash will be just fine).

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!"). It's a real curio. --Doug Thomas

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pokemon DVD
The dvd came in good condition: It is very watchable. I ampleased with the purchase.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The first film for the Pokemon franchise
This DVD includes Pokemon The First Movie, as well as the short "Pikachu's Vacation."

"Pikachu's Vacation" tells the story of Ash, Misty, and Brock's Pokemon going to a vacation spot specifically for Pokemon. Over the duration of the 20-minute short, they have a run-in with border-ruffian Pokemon, and hilarity ensues.

The film itself tells the story of Mewtwo, a Pokemon created from DNA of Mew (a Legendary Pokemon). After feeling betrayed by humans, Mewtwo creates a group ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The first endeavor into the theatrical world of Pokemon
I am currently collecting all 10 of the Pokemon movies and plan to write a review on all 10 of them. The first Pokemon movie is one I had seen in theatres when it had first come out. I think that this movie has a lot going for it and definitely ranks among the best of the movies. I am not a big fan of Pikachu shorts. Something I am glad that is not on every movie. As far as Mewtwo Strikes Back is concerned, it is the only movie that is officially canon for the Pokemon series being that Mewtwo is ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The first and nearly the best Pokemon movie
This movie was voted the worst of 1999 in several on-line polls. Many parents had to endure the movie in theaters as their children watched gleefully. That's pretty much what it boils down to: if you're someone who is not familiar or fond of the world of Pokemon, this movie will bore you to tears... but if you like the show, the movie pushes it to the next level. The movie opens with a 20 minute short featuring the pokemon without their human trainers. Once the short ends you get the story of Mewtwo versus ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the Best Movies you'll ever see!!
Pokemon was and still is a nationwide phenomenon both in Japan and here in the States, and this film wonderfully captures the spirit of fun and adventure that it brought to kids everywhere. Watching this always keeps me young at heart, and is sure to bring lifelong memories to kids of all ages. Makes a GREAT gift, even for yourself!
