Description
Kisenian, traveling from a far away galaxy, disguised as a meteor, aims to gather all the "positive" energy from the Earth and plant the seeds of "negativity" leaving Earth full of hatred. Unable to do this on her own, Kisenian preys on the vulnerable heart of Darien's childhood friend, Fiore. Fiore, jealous of Sailor Moon and Darien's passionate friendship, joins Kisenian in her wicked endeavor to gather energy from every star and planet!

This Japanese import featuring five teenagers with superhero powers may turn out to be for older girls what Pokemon is for the pee-wee set. The fantasy-action story lines of Sailor Moon (named for the leader) is typical anime fare--which means it's far more creative than anything you'll see on Saturday morning. And far more complex--the stories are intricate and flashback sequences feature wordless narrative. Then again, what high-spirited girl wouldn't love the magical makeup that transforms hip schoolgirls into butt-kicking heroines? In this one-hour feature, we meet a new foe, a mysterious childhood friend of Sailor Moon's boyfriend who returns--from deep space! His evil plan to rid the Earth of life includes flowers with awesome powers, vine-covered foes, and telekinetics. Quite the challenge for Sailors Moon, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter. Despite the action, the series certainly has a different feel and color scheme than most male-driven anime. The Japanese have two terms: shonen (for boys) and shojo (for girls), and if girls haven't had a chance to see the shojo anime, this is the starting point. This subtitled version is uncut from the original Japanese cartoon, and the reading crowd above 7 is the appropriate audience for the video's occasional spooky imagery. This unedited version was soaked up by kids in Japan, but the cultural differences might be questionable for American parents. There's a brief, nondescriptive conversation about homosexuality and ghostly naked figures (think Barbie doll) that are illustrated, although it's not nudity as much as the female form. The dubbed version has minor edits in action and dialogue, targeting a slightly younger crowd. --Doug Thomas

 An English version true to the original Japanise Version January 8, 2009
When DiC aquired the US and Canadian rights in 1994 and started airing them the following year, they didn't get the kind of numbers in ratings that shows like Power Rangers where getting. If the show was as sucessful as DiC had entended, this movie would could have seen a theatrical run in the US. This Geneon Signature Series DVD doesn't have DiC english version, but instead it has the original cut of the film fully translated except for one thing. In the climax of the film, you don't hear power of love instead you hear the untranslated Moon Revenge, you hear the song again when the credits role. When you see that opening logo with the beach and the japanise marks, you would think your about to watch a Godzilla movie. This movie is good for the average anime fan even if they don't care about Sailor Moon, it also apeals to fans who grew up watching the show. The english translation doesn't delute the plot but some things have been changed for localization, because in one episode of the show when it's Serina's(Sailor Moon) Birthday, she mentions Christmas. I give the uncut version of Sailor Moon R: Promise of the Rose a perfect 5 out of 5 but for the DVD itself I would have loved a few more DVD extras.
Sailor Moon April 11, 2008
I Bought this along with the other two movies several years ago and i love it. i cried during the battle scene. i got picked on for admitting to that by someone who didn't support my being a fan of Anime.
believe me if i could afford the dvd of this movie i would buy it because i love the romance between Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask.
 Mooon Crystaaalll Poweeeerrr! September 28, 2007
When Darien's/Tuxedo Mask's lost friend, Fiore, resurfaces, trouble abounds and it's up to the Sailor Scouts to come to the rescue.
To make matters worse, Fiore kidnaps Darien. He is also responsible for the massive meteor/flower-planet that's on a collision course for Earth.
Testing the bonds of friendship and reaching deep inside to find their inner strengths, the Sailor Scouts must come together to thwart the threat before it's too late.
The story's straight forward, basically a bad guy coming to get his friend back but causes trouble because he's under the influence of an evil flower so Sailor Moon and the gang need to stop him. But the simplicity works for the film.
This was a fun anime--light, cute, even, um, flowery. It's loaded with sparkles and glitters and shiny objects, very "happy" compared to most anime this reviewer's seen.
There's an air of wonder to this film, most notably when the Sailor Scouts activate their powers and Sailor Moon calls out, "Mooon Crystaaalll Poweeeerrr!"
This is an anime to watch if you're looking for something with razzle-dazzle, cute humor and a whole lot of girl power.

Best Sailor Moon Movie Ever May 5, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The title says all. Sailor Moon has been my favorite anime since I was a kid. When I was young, I was aware that it was originally made in Japanese, but I didn't show any interest until I got older. With all the talk about how original animes are always better than the dubs, I wanted to know what it was like to watch Sailor Moon in Japanese.
I finally did when I got this DVD. Everyone was right. Although the dub is still pretty good, the original is even more better. The dialogue is more accurate and doesn't include major cheesy lines like "MOON MAMA" *cringes*. The original music is also 100 times better. It matches the mood with the movie more often than the edited dub did. "Moon Revenge" is an awesome song :-).
I suggest to anyone who hasn't seen this movie yet or has seen the edited dub to watch the original subtitled version. You'll find that it's much better, and enjoy :-).
