This movie definitely seems to be the biggest project in the anime's history, despite the recycled story (the script is a single person's job). Fans should show more appreciation for that alone, even if they don't personally like CG. After over 20 years of 2D movies, this was a deserved shift...
The "Ash gets petrified and then awakens" sequence is extended by just above 3 minutes. I'll study the differences later, but I personally think that this isn't just padding. The remake treats the prospect of Ash effectively dying with a bit more poignancy by giving Pikachu more time to feel...
Just going by memory alone, here is what was changed in terms of scenes:
1. The lab is initially bright rather than dark (I guess this represents Fuji's hope?).
2. Armored Mewtwo has a different design.
3. Mewtwo is introduced to an army of Team Rocket grunts.
4. Mewtwo imagines Mew's jungle as...
There was no time. You're comparing apples and oranges here; both AU movies had very low stakes until their lackluster finales. I do think they should have extended the lunch scene to showcase all of Brock and Misty's Pokemon.
I ended up watching the movie without subtitles, and still enjoyed it a lot. Here's my short review divided into points:
Good
1. Great Pokemon models with fluid animations. I especially liked Mew, and would probably place Charizard second.
2. Beautiful scenery, especially the sea storm and...
"They" means TPC as a whole. I believe that the 4Kids script was used for English subtitles for one of the Japanese home releases of the original movie.
I don't find the movie ugly at all, even though I am not a fan of CGI. But I'm curious about the slightest script changes and I am not going...
I want to watch it, but there's only so much I'm willing to pay for an unsubbed release. They already have the subtitles ready, so this is disappointing.
I guess that they can only afford to create one CG movie per generation, but the box office might not even warrant that since this movie is roughly on par with its immediate predecessor (granted, it would have done better last year with less competition and a lot more LGPE promotion). It's a...
It was initially in the lead relative to the last 8 years, but it's currently behind Movie 20 by about 8%. That is not much of a metric of quality anyway, especially given the increased competition this year.
The original movie doesn't need to be rewritten to be better than modern movies. Here...
WPM's review seems fairly exhaustive. The biggest changes are to the music (I'm a little uneasy about that, but movie music has never been my thing), but there are minor details here and there. They've done a better job making Brock and Misty stand out somewhat.
I'm surprised it isn't Hypno considering the rest of Raymond's team. They're fully evolved but weak.
What fiery move did Donphan use in one of the trailers? How often do post-Kanto moves come up?
