this be real child stuff . the normal person ( if one exist ) isn not really go to know what the hell pokémon be . you have get all these cute look monster with special power and ability and for some reason theyre fight each other . you see chance be that the normal person isn not really go to care . the film be base on the ever so popular tv series and that tv series be base on the ever so popular video game . and that usually mean adult beware . the film be about pokémon ( of course ) and which translate a pocket monster . the main character be a pokémon trainer by the name of ash . he and his friend brock and misty and his loveably cute pikachu accept a challenge to face off a rare evil pokémon by the name of mewtwo . mewtwo be an experimental pokémon that be genetically create by scientist . but just like frankenstein and the experiment go berserk . so you see it up to ash and his friend to stop him . now if none of this make any sense to you then you might as well stop reading and forget about the film . it will be probably be a complicate than an alfred hitchcock film . now to be honest and i actually quite like the tv series . it enjoyable and funny . but the film be a very poor effort . there be a nice link between the tv series and the film that shed some light on a few thing and but it only worth watch for that reason . oh and and for the blink and you will miss it scene when a tentacruel hug team rocket . also the animation isn not really anything ground break . there be a few noticeable touch but it isn not really that different from the tv show . one great thing though be the villain mewtwo . now he be a proper bad guy . but this be a child cartoon mean you have get one of those violence be wrong message and unfortunately there also one of those dreamy ending . it all highly predictable and simple and to put it straight and not very good . before the film there be the horrifically cute short title pikachu vacation . it show all of ash pokémon basically have fun and be talk in their own way ( a most pokémon can only say their name ) . subtitle might have be a benefit for the parent that be drag to watch this . why this precede the film be quite a mystery and though i can only suggest that it because the film itself be too short . it may be awful but it go to do very well and make a stack load of money mainly due to the incredible hype and a clever marketing campaign about collect rare trading card . in fact because of the success of this film and two sequel be on the way . kid be go to love it . parent aren not go to understand it . the wise one be go to stay away from it . my rating 4 out of 10 .
