Summary: Wow! This is Some Terrific Movie!
Review: Shorter than the previous 3 pokemon movies? Considerably. But better? By a long shot. Part of its superiority is contributed to the absence of tedious, long, boring action scenes like in the other films. This swifter-moving story is basically "Giovanni's Revenge;" he finds Mewtwo on his little perfect island-perfect water, perfect everything. Mewtwo is obsessed with the fact that he is not of this world, that the clones he lives with cannot live among beings born into the world, that none of his kind "belong." Of course, the story unfolds, the twerps and their new friends (a green-haired loser named Luna and a freak guy whose name we don't know) get involved, and Giovanni is defeated :-(. Team Rocket is made to forget the whole thing. One awesome new character is introduced here: Domino, aka Agent 009, aka the black tulip, and her bionic flowers. She is TOO cool. My theory? She is probably the daughter of Cassidy and Butch, two TR members from the TV Show. Why? Lots of reasons. 1. She is younger than them. 2. She looks and dresses like Cassidy. 3. She kinda acts like her too. 4. She also has a hostile relationship with Jess and Jim. 5. She has Cassidy's attitude. 6. She is favored by the boss.

Summary: English dub of "Myuutsuu! Ware wa kokoni ari!"
Review: As already noted, this is the English dub of "Myuutsuu! Ware wa kokoni ari!" which in Japan was a special program of Pocket Monsters. I have the Japanese DVD of the special and it's very good, the voice acting, the animation, the music, everything. I sincerely hope that 4Kids doesn't mess up this really great saga. The first few minutes of the DVD recap the events from Myuutsuu no Gyakushuu (Mewtwo Strikes Back) and then starts with Domino (a new Roketto-dan member) explaining to Sakaki (Giovanni), Roketto-dan's (Team Rocket's) leader, about the whereabouts of the Pokemon that he has tried for so long to regain control over, Myuutsuu (Mewtwo).
Myuutsuu is on an island in a lake on top of a plateau raised higher than the rest of the ground along with his clones. At the beginning of the story Satoshi, Kasumi, and Takeshi (Ash, Misty, and Brock) meet up with a lady and then with another young lady and a man. Musashi, Kojirou, and Nyaasu (Jesse, James, and Meowth) then steal Pikachuu. The ensuing chase leads them to be in Roketto-dan's balloon above the plateau where they eventually get to after crashing into the water. Sakaki comes and threatens to hurt Myuutsuu's clones if Myuutsuu doesn't return to Roketto-dan. Sakaki's black mail plan works and Myuutsuu walks into Sakaki's containment field. Will Satoshi be able to save Myuutsuu!? Will the sacred spring producing the special water in the plateau be saved from the corruption of Roketto-dan?! Is Sakaki Satoshi's father? Well, I'll give you the answer to that, which is no. I don't know who spread that rumor but if Sakaki was Satoshi's father, then I THINK that either Satoshi would have recognized Sakaki or Sakaki would have remembered Satoshi. But to find out the answers to the other questions, you'll have to see the show to find out!

Summary: Mewtwo's Back For More!
Review: Ash, Misty, and Brock try, but fail, to catch up with a bus to get pass Mt. Kana, a very dangerous mountain to climb. Luna, a pokemon researcher, invites them to stay at a cabin until the next bus comes. During the night, another pokemon researcher comes (sorry, I forgot his name) with a teen that goes by the name Domino. Team Rocket comes later and steals Pikachu (again) and makes their get-away in their improved balloon. They go flying up Mt. Kana and go out of control due to another storm. Ash and co. climb up the mountain to retrive Pikachu. On the way up, the rope that was hanging on to everyone crash into Team Rocket's balloon and go sailing up and into Mt. Kana. Domino later reviels her true identity as Agent 009. Meanwhile, there is a island on top of Mt. Kana and on that island is Mewtwo and the clones. Mewtwo is VERY different compared to the first movie. Unlike its usual distroy all the humans personality, it wants to be left alone with the clones on the island and live is peace. Domino spots Mewtwo on the island and informs Giovanni were Mewtwo is. Giovanni wants to capture Mewtwo again and try to take over the world again! The balloon later crashes onto the island. The pikachu clone wants to go and live were it wants, not stuck on the island, so it leads some clones and pikachu and meowth across the lake. Giovanni tries to capture the clones but is later stopped by Mewtwo. Giovanni blackmails Mewtwo by saying that if it fights his machines, he will kill the clones. Mewtwo, not wanting the clones hurt, gives itself up by walking into a force feild so it can't get away. Giovanni, wanting Mewtwo to work for him again, makes the machines hurt Mewtwo. He said that he will stop the pain if Mewtwo obays him. Mewtwo said it much rather be dead than work for him. So Mewtwo is stuck in the force feild. Ash and co. are later locked up by Team Rocket (not Jessie and James) with the clones. They later get out and run into Mewtwo in the machine. They try to get Mewtwo out, but can't stop the machines. Mewtwo then overruns the mashine with its physic powers, but at the same time hurts itself even more. The machine explodes and Mewtwo is so weak from the machine that it can barly stand up. The water on the island can heal pokemon that are hurt, and Ash and co. decide to take Mewtwo to the water, but are stop by Giovanni. Misty and Brock holds off Team Rocket while Ash takes Mewtwo to the water. (the pokemon researchers are testing the water to make sure it's not comtaminated) Ash makes it to the water but the researchers say if Mewtwo gets into the water, the water will be comtaminated. Ash, who cares more about Mewtwo than the water, throws Mewtwo into the water anyways. Giovanni comes and demands to know were Mewtwo is and tries to distroy the spring. Mewtwo flies out of the water that healed it and gets all ticked off and uses its powers to defend the water and move it to a different spot. It moved the water and erases Giovanni's memory and thanks Ash and co. for their help. Happy ending! Yay! This was an awsome movie! If you are a pokemon fan you MUST GET THIS MOVIE! It's better than any other pokemon movie.

Summary: Direct to video excellence
Review: Mewtwo Returns is a very good movie that surprised me more than I expected. The idea is that Mewtwo is basically living his life with the clones in peace. Meanwhile Ash and the gang (who don't remember the origional encounter with MEwtwo) accidently stumble upon his lair after Team Rocket captures Pikachu again. Meanwhile Teamrocket leader Giovanni has discovered Mewtwo lair and wants to capture him once again. Mewtwo is currently in a Moral dilema because on the one hand he wants to battle Giovanni, but he also has grown to care about the clones. Eventually with the help of Ash he battles Giovanni and begins to understand himself.

MEwtwo Returns is another reason why the Pokemon Movies should not be overlooked. In fact I believe that it should of been in theaters instead of the third movie. However it went direct to video and was overlooked. So it should definetly be looked into. It is definetly a good watch.

Summary: What happened after the 1st movie
Review: The first movie ended interestingly. mewtwo simply flies away. that ending s*****. Mewtwo is my favorite video game charecter. I kick a** in Super Smash Bros. Meele with him. But this DVD is great. I love it. It is actually a very sad movie. The review is that Mewtwo founded an island where he and his clones can be happy. Giovani comes and tries to capture Mewtwo, Ash saves Mewtwo and Mewtwo relises it is OK that he wasn't born of this earth. Thats all you are gonna get but it is a very sad movie. Buy this DVD if you like anime, Pokemon, or kick *** in Super Smash Bros. MEELE with Mewtwo.

Summary: Huzzah! Mewtwo is back!
Review: This DVD RULES! The animation for the unedited "Story of Mewtwo's Origon" (Myuutsu to Ai) was great! It was smooth, and not as choppy as the show has gotten. And the storyline was deep. Very poignant, and even sad. The kiddies might not understand it fully and things may need to be explained, so a dedicated fan such as myself, may need to be on-hand to translate.

The main movie was very well-written, and the voice acting was so much better. They finally got around to getting a better voice-actor for Mewtwo.

I really don't want to reveal the plot like so many have done, but it was deep as well. This movie showed Team Rocket at their best (or worst, however you wanna look at it.). The organization went from a mere annoyance to an unstoppable army. Giovanni is portrayed the best in this movie. He's ruthless and will stop at nothing to get his goal, a normal man with a merciless mafia at his disposal. The ultimate villian.

Quoth Brock, "Oh, Domino!" Domino, the sadistic, unlikable witch with a capital B is my personal fave Team Rocket member. She is what Team Rocket should be, cold and efficient. Not that I'm saying that Jessie and James are idiots. Don't get me wrong, I like Jessie and James. In fact, they're the only reason I still watch the show! But Domino is someone I would like to see make a reappearence in either the shows or any of the later movies.

All in all, this would make a great addition to anyone's Pokemon video collection. The latest installment in the Mewtwo Saga is, personally, better than the first movie. Though, it often seems that way with Sagas. The second is usually the best.

QuickMan out.

Summary: Mewtwo's Back!!!!
Review: In this movie, Mewtwo returns Mewtwo is back!!!!! Of course you should know that. Well This movie takes place in the Johto League Champions, and Ash, Misty, and Brock all try to catch a bus to a moutain place I forgot the name. But they fail, which happened to be a good thing because the strong wind causes the bus to get of track and start spinning, but then Mewtwo who happens to be hidding in the Moutains, saves them claiming he only did it so that the humans would not find them. All the clones he made and him, but the mewoth and pikachue clones don't beilive him saying that he really cares for the humans.

Soon Ash Misty and Brock find themselfs staying in this cabin, when Team Rocket comes and actually steals pikachu and thanks to the wind once more heads towards the moutains, now they have to go up to the moutains where Mewtwo is staying. Will they meet once more is the question?

Rating: 5 stars
