Pokemon 4Ever.......2006-08-01
I got this movie for my birthday, and I watched it about three times over. If you haven't seen the movie, then this is the story.
A young boy (who is actually a young Prof. Oak) ventures into the forest where Celebi lurks. He doesn't know this, but when a Scyther and Houndoom catches Celebi, the boy (named Sammy) saves the Celebi. It travels to the future and they meet Ash, Brock and Misty and Pikachu, but Celebi has already fled. They find the afraid Celebi in a small cave, but Sammy takes it and Celebi takes a great liking to Sammy and Ash. When Celebi grows weak, they bathe it in the Lake of Life.
A serious Team Rocket member possesses a ball called a 'Dark Ball' which catches the Pokemon and turns it evil. It catches Celebi, and the Rocket commands Celebi to destroy the forest. Suicune, who appears, takes Ash and Sammy to Celebi, and they manage to get Celebi away. But Celebi is in trouble! It falls, and they cannot awake it in the Lake of Life as the water is dirty. Suicune purifies the water but Celebi does not awaken. They realise that poor Celebi has died, and everybody weeps. Then thousands of Celebi appear and revive Celebi! It takes Sammy back in time to his own time, and Ash has an emotional goodbye to him. When they get back on the boat after talking to Oak, he looks in that sketchbook that has a faded picture of Pikachu and Celebi, and thinks it was only yesterday.
The only down thing about this film is that I don't like the way Sammy acts about Celebi. He acts as if it was his own!
One of the worst films I have seen in my life..........2006-01-05
Much as I am loathe to attach such a harsh label to a pokemon movie this paltry-at-best offering deserves no defence. The story line is far too predictable and bumbles along in a dull and incoherent way throughout. The concept of time travel has not at all been approached with any originality, and left me feeling irate rather than pensive. It was, in fact, so terrible I couldn't bear to let it soil my DVD shelf: as soon as the movie ended I was trying to think of who might want to take the thing off my hands. To top it all off, celebi is a whiny pokemon with no popular appeal whatsoever.
This movie was a sad dissapoinment and let down to all the other aspects of pokemon that have made it over the years a most fascinating and rewarding craze.
Great.......2004-12-31
I am a big fan of Pokémon and I always like that they explain the legends that can only be told slightly in the games through these great animtated films.
It can be a bit short, however most of the time you don't really notice as you do get engrossed in the story and what's going on. I shant spoil it for most people but the story is very mind-boggling towards the end when you find out a little part of the story from Professor Oak and you ask yourself endless questions about time travel and how it works.
To all Poké-fans out there it's an essential buy as it will fill in just one more part of Pokémon history and knowledge to be the master!
Too Disney like.......2004-11-24
Ok. This movie was good, and had some nice graphics in it. But be prepared to find that this isn't exactly a thrilling movie, and far too Disney like - all a bit too cute and happy. Strange when Celebi dies, he looks a bit like a wrinkly onion.
The most shocking bit is...well the connection between the boy and professor oak (i won't spoil it for you)at the end of the film.
But still buy it, it's something for your collection and something to watch on a rainy day
Let's cele-B-R-A-T-E!!.......2004-09-10
I recieved this video for christmas and was DELIGHTED with it!
It's just as good, if not better, even, than the other pokemon Movies, and I recommend it to everyone.
The main character-Celebi-is adorable, the storyline is funny, intruiging and exciting (and awfully sad at some parts!)
The background music throughout is uplifting and beautiful, rounded off at the end with the hilarious "Let's Cele-B-R-A-T-E!"
If only there were a sountrack to accompany this awesome poke-flick!
I give it...5 stars!!
