Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew

Pokemon Movie 8: Mew to Hadou no Yuusha Lucario-S1E1

I just really like this movie.This movie made me like Lucario!Now one of my fav pokemon is Lucario

When you look this movie and you'll be stunned because it's a different movie than its predecessor and you know this movie had praised it's visual effect,story,places, and background. So... this film was good narrated and become one of few good movie you should watch. Unfortunately, this film was missed by its acting and several cinematography that must be improved next film.To be honest, while you watch the trailer you will be happy then if you look the movie you will excited. It's fun movie yet entertaining and strong story. So i'll give the score VISUAL EFFECT 82 SPECIAL EFFECT 78 STORY 88 CREATIVITY 92 ACTING 70 CINEMATOGRAPHY 74 ENTERTAINING 84 OVERALL 79-87 QUITE IMPRESSIVE "GREAT" End of Reviewing. Sorry if my English is not good or misspelled.

1 of the beat Pokemon movie I ever seen. Pikachu disappears soon after he is crowned as the Wave Leader Hero, along with Satoshi. When Lucario is released from the prison, he has to locate Pikachu and unearth the mystery of the Wave Leader.

A really good movie, with a really cool flashback at the start. However, as the title suggests, one of the reasons I am rating this so high is because of Lucario's sheer awesomeness. The plot does have some holes in it, but it is pretty good. I like the ending a lot, and the Regi-Pokemon manage to provide a climax in the movie. BAD STUFF: It turns out that Mew and the Tree of Beginning are help each other(symbiosis), although I think it is just for the watchers to get interested again(yes, there are some boring bits.). In addition, I did NOT like the playfullness of Mew as it was the whole source of the problem(I like an actual villain and i don't include Team Rocket). Also, as usual, Team Rocket is only used as a comedy source, which I hate. FINAL RATING: All in all, it is quite a good movie and I'm surprised that it has below 7 before I typed in this review. Anyway, it deserves the 8 that I gave it. GOOD BITS: Lucario continuously Aura Sphering. Regi-Pokemon blasting rocks(very satisfactory). BAD BITS: Brock falling in love with girls(That happens in literally all of the Pokemon movies). 8/10-Good.

I was genuinely and pleasantly surprised, there was a good Pokemon movie made. The last Pokemon film I saw was Pokemon 3, which was the definition of "mediocre." Since the next four Pokemon films aren't being distributed anywhere anymore, I couldn't see them, so I have picked it up on what's effectively Pokemon 8. This is a huge step up. Better animation, better score, better voice acting (though still far from perfect), and a genuinely good story. I was actually pretty interested the whole way through on what was going to happen. Something I could not say at all for the first three films. It's actually good. So, yeah, I can actually recommend a Pokemon movie finally.

This is easily my favorite Pokemon film in the franchise. Everything from the characters, animation, and effects blend in together amazingly

This film was among the best in the series for several reasons: The Plot The Visuals The Score And the Voice Performances. Unfortunately, this would be the final Pokémon movie to feature the original English voice actors from the previous eight years as 4KIDS Entertainment decided not to renew their deal with the Pokémon Company. It would be the final vocal performances of these actors in these roles: Veronica Taylor - Ash, May Eric Stuart - Brock, James Amy Birnbaum - Max Rachael Lillis - Jessie Mike Pollock - Narrator And Maddie Blaustein (1960-2008) as Meowth We would also lose Executive Producers Alfred Khan & Norman J. Grossfeld as well as Kathy Borland, Michael Haigney, Jim Malone, John Touhey, Darren Dunstan and the rest of 4KIDS Entertainment. So, to me, this film marked the end of an era. That's why this is my personal favorite Pokémon movie. I just wish that the new company handling the English dub would bring most of the 4KIDS voice actors back to their original roles. However, I admit that bringing back the rarest of the original 151 Pokémon, Mew, was a very good decision to compliment the introduction to Lucario. I hope that other fans find this film is as entertaining as I have.

Lucario and the Mystery of Mew (2005) sets in a charming medieval themed location named Rota. It has a special adventure and a balanced mixture of fantasy, history, nature and science. They are exactly what makes the animated feature unique but they could be interpreted in different ways. I personally feel Lucario and the Mystery of Mew (2005) has one of the best Pokémon backstory and concept but it's a little confusing in terms of plot. Let me explain why, as brief as possible. With spoiler minimised; at first it is Lucario's story but then it shift the focus to the villain-who-is-actually-not-a-villain, who is hunting down Mew. After that, the focus is on searching missing Pokémon. Nature comes in naturally as the plot progresses but all of the sudden, at one point it feels like as if the whole plot turned into a sci-fi horror. It's not really scary, it's pretty interesting in fact due to the science elements but well, too much focus change! There are a lot of flashbacks throughout the animated feature and there are several different types of relationship story going on too. It's not a big deal I guess since there are plenty of unique characters and a lot of other fantasy going on. With all that Pokémon and the newly introduced spiritual energy Aura which is the essence of every living creature as they have said it; to me, all these sure seems to be a great effort but it feels confusing even though I get the story in the end. In the end, I feel that the results of the efforts are less effective and there are plenty of other minor issues as well but I do not want to be too analytical since this is not a movie analysis! No fun isn't it if the review is all criticism? Now, what is great about Lucario and the Mystery of Mew (2005) are the Pokémon stories themselves. They are super cool and cute. For instance, Mew, who was once an extremely rare Pokémon, which supposedly almost no one have ever seen it before in present Pokémon time, shows more of her true playful behavior and her many transformations. There is cosplay involved in this one as well, Pikachu is even dressed up for a while! Pikachu also seems to be much more animated or much more himself compared the previous Pokémon films and just like the TV anime series, as his sweet personality does stand out here. Last but not least, Lucario's story is unusually interesting and the sight of the Legendary Titans Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are also amazing! I can't be spoiling it for you, you have to watch it yourself! If you are easily moved, there are several touching scenes that would make you tear a little. I guess ultimately this is Pokémon's shot at something different than all of its previous films; a special adventure with a balanced mixture of fantasy, history, nature and science!

As someone who likes the Pokémon games and has grown up with Pokémon but isn't a kid anymore, I can't say this is a good movie. This movie has a very confusing plot with way to many subplots. Too many things have to be introduced in a world where a lot of things are already hard to accept. The movie could even be the same even without Pokémon in it. It has absolutely nothing to do with the games and barely something to do with the TV-series. But if you consider it to be independent, it is not a movie that shows many new things. A lot has been seen in other, better anime movies. Pokémon already has an interesting world, that can be explored. It can show great action in Pokémon battles. Non of that is shown in the movie. Battles are only shown shortly in the beginning. Also every Pokémon movie seems to rely on telepathy. I would like to see a movie, that is expressive enough to let Pokémon be able to not speak. Overall a movie that is watchable, but only a must-watch at the utmost for very young Pokémon fans.
