What did you think was the best movie?

[Pilaf]

I searched but couldn't find a poll (or thread) on what people thought was the best movie out of all pokemon movies. So here's a poll. (I hope it's in the right category.)

 

[Hikari-chan]

My Favorites (My favorite to the least favorite)

1. Lucario and Mystery of Mew
2. Power of One
3. Jirachi Wishmaker
4. Spell of the Unknown
5. Mewtwo Strikes Back
6. Pokemon Heroes
7. Destiny Deoxys

I like totally haven't watch 4th and 9th movie yet.

Edit: Mewtwo Returns is not a Movie, it's a special.

Edit: Mewtwo Returns is not a Movie, it's a special.

I know most consider it that, but given it's lenght and the way it was released, I thought it would fit in the poll.

 

[Lil Brother]

You may as well put in Legend of Thunder and Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon. Mewtwo Returns is not a movie. End of story.

My favorite is definetly Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. Spell of the Unown is second. The Power of One and Heroes are up there. I would love to say Mewtwo Strikes Back is, but I refuse to judge it until I see the original. The soundtrack is great, though!

 

[FireEmblemPride]

1. Jirachi
2. Celebi
3. Entei
4. Lugia
5. Mewtwo (1)
6. Deoxys
7. Latios & Latias
8. Lucario

I loved the Jirachi movie. It was nicely paced, the animation was great and the story was excellent.

I fell asleep in the Japanese theatre during Lucario. I don't even remember the ending.

 

[Kasumi]

The Power of One is the best movie, though my favourite will always be the first movie.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

I liked the third one the best. Heck, Ash wasn't even annoying in it!

 

[XD375]

The second was the best. I liked the American version better.

 

[Pie]

Absolutely loved the eighth. I might be biased, since I love the whole sword and sorcery fantasy stuff so the whole beginning section with them dressed up like fantasy characters was fangirl heaven for me.

 

[Pilaf]

I've gotta say I liked Destiny Deoxys the best. The action and comedy scenes were distributed evenly throughout the movie, and it had a supsenseful plot. I think that leaving out the Pikachu-short and spreading those scenes throughout the movie worked exceptionally well here. I also liked the new characters, and the fact that there wasn't a real bad guy.

Spell of the Unown would come in second place. Jirachi was also a lot of fun, as it was the movie that made me fall in love with Flygon.

I really disliked Lucario and the Mystery of Mew though. Because the plot just seemed too far out. Besides Lucario was a real pain.

 

[Joey]

Lucario is my top movie. It just hit me in a way the other movies didn't. The fantasy atmosphere didn't hurt either, and Lucario is one of my top three favorite pokemon.

And the rest in order:
Heroes
Spell of the Unown
Mewtwo Strikes Back
Power of One
Jirachi Wishmaker
Destiny Deoxys
4Ever

Still haven't seen Prince of the Sea yet.

 

[Pokemaster Justin]

Lucario, Mewtwo and Unown. The other movies were rubbish.

 

[Lil Brother]

How in the world you can call the Lati@s, Lugia, and Jirachi movies rubbish is beyond me, Justin. o.o I'll give you Celebi though, since nobody aside from me and a few others seems to like that. And Deoxys because even less people like that.

 

[Pokemaster Justin]

They seemed a bit toooo cliche for me, and the story just dragggged on in some areas. Jirachi just to me was boring, and didn't have the feeling of a movie as opposed to a big filler episode.

Deoxys, bar none, was the worst movie ever though.

 

[Habunake]

Only the ending of Deoxys was bad, the rest was perfect imo.

Jirachi was more of a slower movie for people who don't need action 24/7.

 

[Misty]

Jirachi move IS rubbish, it just drags on and on with few interesting plot points except at the end :[

2000 wins x) but I'm surprised at the lack of first movie love.

 

[Pilaf]

I agree that Jirachi drags on... in the beginning it seems rather pointless and only gets exciting about halfway through.

I don't understand how people can think Deoxys was the worst movie. It was exciting the whole time. The Rayquaza/Deoxys fights alone secure it a high position in my opinion.

 

[Pokemaster Justin]

Jirachi was more of a slower movie for people who don't need action 24/7.

It's not the action at all...I liked the Entei move the most before Lucario and both of those movies have minimal action until certain key sequences.

Like I said the storys, pacing, and everything was just boring and lacked the creativity of the other films.

4Ever was saved just because of the whole Sammy/Oak subplot...but I mean the Iron Masked Murorder (ew name) was crimally WAISTED as a villian...so much potential to MANIPULATE time and what not....and he destorys a forest?...not even knocks a few trees down and dirtys the water...lame.

Like I said I judge them based on their storys, plot, flow, and characters.

Mewtwo/Mew was so complex in Mewtwo that he was just awesome character...the whole who am I thing was amazingly cool and subtile.

2000 - color by the numbers pokemon movie, nothing bad, but nothing good it just was what it was...simple and fun with a cohierent story and plot.

3 - Amazing, on my first watch I was completely bored by it. However, by the time the movie ended and I rewatched it again I forgot how great the storytelling can be when there is a great story FIRST and then you build the Pokemon into it.

4Ever- see above, GREAT potental and art, wasted characters and plot.

Heroes - Another color by number Pokemon movie that didn't deliver IMO...just didn't hit in the right places.

Jirachi - felt like an extended Advanced episode, boring, lame and didn't go anywhere...although it was a great character building for Max it was just...boring, nothing interesting at all.
*Although I will give credit to the ending song, I loved the Japanese/English mix no matter how weird it sounded, the English singer captured the essence of the Japanese singer perfectly.

Deoxys - ugh lame, on all accounts, first Pokemon movie I didn't even watch the whole way through...boring to the max. No interesting characters, the plot was ALL over the place...reeked of unpolished that we've come to see in the movies...badly.

Lucario - loved it. Top to bottom, everything that was wrong with the last movie was done right in here...everything.

 

[Rocketshipper]

I voted The Power of One. AAML hints, good Team Rocket, and Toi et Moi ftw ^^.

So you haven't seen all of DD?

If not, then you really don't have any place to judge it. To call it bad, you must see the horrible ending!

I liked Wish Maker. ;_;
