Pokémon 3: The Movie (2001)

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I have not seen this film in years and once I saw it again it was just as good if not better than I remember it as a kid. As a kid, I loved watching the battles and the visuals. Now that I am older, I admire not only the incredible animation but also the creative use of the Pokémon, the battles and the surprisingly complex message about dealing with grief. Also, the execution is perfect and the reason I am not giving it 10 stars is that the scene with Charizard is a little out of nowhere. And I can't believe how little 4Kids changed in this movie. In conclusion, this movie is basically one of the best Pokémon movies there is. It is a film that can be enjoyed even by people that are not familiar with the show or any of the movies.

How did this get a low score this movie was so good, the only reason it gets minus a point because its pokemon.This movie was so amazing. There is nothing better than a talking giant dog making a girl a god.There seriously isn't anything better.Ash can get annoying because of his stupid little voice but thats it. Even pikachu and pichu short was good. This one had a great plot, unlike the first. I watched this movie like 10 times when i was a kid. I suggest watching this and the second movie then the anime first series. Nothing besides that.THE BEST POKEMON MOVIE, ONE OF THE BEST ANIME OVAS.

What an enjoyable film! I don't understand all the hate and backlash this has gotten. If you hate Pokémon, and your insist on down voting, go do it on 7 or 8, where everything is bright, cheery, linear, Hollywood garbage. This is beautiful.The story isn't complex, but it's much more layered then other animated films. The colors are beautiful, and the animation is very well done, with tastefully placed CG, but mostly wonderfully detailed classic animation. The story contains good lessons about faith and family. The battle scenes are long and epic. The style is so dark and artistic that it's simply a treat for the eyes.My only complaints come with some the dialog being a little cheesy, and that it's way to short. (The feature itself is only 70 min) With more time they could have gone more places and really developed the characters and story arcs more. But all in all, a wonderful film, defiantly among the best of the Pokemon series, and among my favorite anime films of all time. A must see for all young people, anime fans, Pokémon fans, and anyone with a general interest in animated film! 10/10 as far as Pokémon is concerned

Ugh this film made my head reel. BADLY. But i will admit it, it wasn't bad from the last time I watched it. Fun new Pokémon. Ash is acting a little more like a teenager then the ten year old he really started out to be. Pikachu, which Im glad to say is still with us with his famous sayings. (even if we don't really understand them - but hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it!!) The only part that I didn't really like (which is a shame as its the main part) is the character Molly Hale. Who really I think came off a little too spoilt. Now I know its the main part that she bends the world to her will as her father died and she never knew her mother. But for me that never quite did it. She just ended up annoying me. Entri also REALLY annoyed me, (carm down dear irmalicious, your getting a little annoyed over a cartoon you probably haven't watched for the best of five years, anyway) couldn't the unknown created a better father figure? I mean kidnapping Ashs Mom Delia was probably not the smartest thing to do. After seeing Ash and his trusty crew save the Pokémon world, wouldn't be the smartest thing to do. It would be like kicking a rhino in the backside. Also Entri sounded liked a microphone!Not a bad movie for a Pokémon fan. If only they made Molly a tragic tearaway and Entri a hot six foot then yeah I might watch it a bit more.
