Dialogues that pretend to be profound and end up being pretentious and pedantic. This causes the development to be slow and at times heavy
Good world building, I would've preferred it the Pokemons looked more like animals and less like cartoons, but this Roger Rabit approach will do. Also, decent cinematography and score. But, the script’s complete ass (conveniences, unnecessary exposition, uninteresting characters without development, extremely predictable storyline etc.) aside from some of Pikachu’s snarky lines, so you’ll probably get bored at some part.
4.5/10
Well, it's a short movie. Light-hearted movie with very simple plot. The animation is fun and dazzling.
It's a complete mess.
It's like the creators went thru an anime catalog.
I almost can imagine the planning meeting.
+ Hey look! there are ninjas in this one.
- Let's put it in the movie.
+ I found some giant robots!
- Those too.
+ Uhm a monkey sidekick ?
- Great!
+ What about a giant golden monkey made of other monkeys being controlled by a couple of monkeys playing the trumpet?
- Are you insane!? A trumpet? Let's make it a flute.
+ ( WTF? I guess he really likes monkeys )
+ I guess the more we put in it the more anime-ish it will be. Right?
- Right! Just don't forget to sign our checks.
