(I watched the Japanese version, so that's the context this review will be in. That means no American songs, and no rewritten plot.)
A tearjerker. Shockingly dark. Not much happens in the movie, and the plot of the movie goes in an unusual direction that confuses the intended message. But still. They started off the movie series with a loud, resounding BANG. I heard things about how this first Pokémon movie was "worse than you remember", but...no. It's most certainly not. I'm an adult, and this movie made me scared, and made tears appear in my eyes. It communicated what it wanted to say and how it wanted me to feel without using words. For what it is - a movie from a kids' franchise - it is MASTERFULLY done. I'm surprised that, despite me rating this movie as a 7, I'm having a hard time explaining exactly what felt missing to me. It's not some kind of masterclass story, and yet it delivers like one. And that's REALLY impressive.
