Why the low rating? I quite liked this Pokemon film. It has some interesting mysteries and surreal imagery so it is not just the usual Pokemon battles. It has a strange plot that pays off.

I liked the pikachu short. It gets you into the movie. The last few days have been spent watching pokemon 5,6 & 7.

Family and friendship were mentioned throughout the movie. As she lost both her parents she tried to make up for it by creating her own which didn't work out well.

The unown are quite powerful. Even in the mind of a child a lot of damage was done. Her father disappeared as soon as he came into contact with them, he might have had better control over them.

The were a few battle scenes. The Charizard and Entei fight showed how strong Entei was, though not a real pokemon just her vision from a book.

A movie about friends and having dreams to achieve.

The other day, I was looking through some old boxes filled with old stuff of mine. In this box was my original NES, some games, and all of my Pokemon stuff. Including each of the films on VHS (well, the first three and Mewtwo Returns).

I remember watching the movies when I was still a Pokemon passionate, and wanted to see if I could get that same rush still, four years later.

Well, with the first two, no chance. The third one, Pokemon 3: The Movie, however, was different.

Again, this review is coming from an 18 year old high school graduate. And even four years later, Pokemon 3 still delivered the thrills.

Loaded with excellent animation, some tense battle scenes (Charizard vs. Entei, anyone?), and a heartwarming theme that children can embrace, I recommend Pokemon 3 to anyone who wishes to rediscover their childhood or for anyone who is just up for some great animation.

9/10
