Pokémon - Der Film: Geheimnisse des Dschungels

I can't help but feel as though Pokémon has embraced that much of their audience are teenagers or even young adults. I had grown so used to cliche 4/10 - 5/10 quality films I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. In the past it felt as though writing "Pokémon" on the cover was enough to turn a profit. Now, the films have genuinely good content and not just the brand name.

This movie has a good plot, while admittedly not thoroughly original it is paced and written well. The action sequences were fun while still holding true to the cute nature of Pokémon we all know and love. This is a whole hearted good film that many age groups can enjoy, not just children looking for colorful animations.

8/10.

Supsenseful movie, I think it can't be that good but when I watch it, it is good

Ten years ago, a mythical Pokémon known as a Zarude finds a baby boy abandoned in the forest of Okoya, which is near Lilliput Town, and leaves his tribe to raise him and find his birth parents, naming him Koko. In the present day, Koko is a feral boy who lives in the jungle, having nicknamed his caretaker Dada, as the two would have a fateful encounter with Ash and Pikachu, and the four are forced to team up with an evil doctor attacks the Great Tree.

Yeah, this Pokémon movie is mostly inspired by Tarzan, but it manages to be its own thing as well. While it does deal with a human raised by a ape (that is, the ape being a Zarude, a new Pokémon introduced in this movie and added to the games as a mythical, which are only given out during certain events), it has plenty of heart-warming moments, as well as action, and a good moral about unity. The characters are all done well, and the villain is the best of the new characters. If you are a Pokemaniac or have kids, this one is worth checking out.

Pokemon movies are generally not known for how good they are. It's merely passable entertainment at best. But when "I Choose You" and "The Power Of Us" came out, it felt like a breath of fresh air in a pretty stale and formulaic series of films. And just like in The Power of Us; where I felt like the storytelling was really well done, and thus being one of the best Pokemon movies out there, I felt like this movie too uses its storytelling to its advantage.

Secrets of the Jungle tells a pretty different story for a Pokemon movie and it's told right. The focus of the movie was very rightly on the narration with each emotional beat, having the intended impact on the audience. It does have its weaknesses however, with the lack of depth in how certain characters were developed, and moments of structural cliches, but it never felt like it weighed the movie down.

Storytelling apart, the movie is also an absolute treat to the eye. It's so beautifully crafted, with the visuals and the animations being so much better than what I expected. And surprisingly, the music too was pretty memorable, with the opening "Always Safe" track being a refreshingly nice way to kick things off.

I'm genuinely surprised by how much I liked this, because I usually don't go into a Pokemon movie expecting anything. It was a pleasantly enjoyable movie with a lot of heart and a lot of charm, and I only hope the Pokemon movies of the future will build off of its formula here.

Well my expectations were all over the air,but it's actually my second Pokemon movie so I can get see how all this plays out, but hey it's amazing so see did your self.
