This is the best of the Pokemon movies- great action, touching scenes, and important message.
A Masterpiece, In Its Own Weird Way August 18, 2005

Mewtwo Strikes Back is, in my opinion, one of the best movies in existence, and not just because it has Pokemon in it. The plot, dialogue and especially the art were all very interesting. This movie has received a lot of hostility from people, but it's usually for the following reasons:
1. They dislike Pokemon, anime, or something along those lines.
2. They take cartoon violence way too seriously.
3. They just don't like the English version, because it is apparently evil and horrible and wrong for the English-speaking scriptwriters to write what they WANT, instead of conforming to the original script.
The movie is in fact, like I said, really, really, really, really good. The plot involves a team of scientists making a clone of Mew, the rarest and most powerful Pokemon to have ever existed, after finding its eyelash (I think) in the Amazon. However, they attempt to make the clone much more powerful than its genetic ancestor. After developing in a gargantuan test tube for quite some time, Mewtwo is born.
Unlike most Pokemon, Mewtwo can actually speak human speech instead of just saying its name (this is most likely because the movie would be rather confusing otherwise). Mewtwo quickly realises he is being used by the scientists, and so he blows up the lab. It is at this point that the dastardly boss of Team Rocket, Giovanni, shows up and wheedles Mewtwo into a partnership with him.
However, after some time, Giovanni informs Mewtwo he isn't actually his equal and was created solely to obey humans. Mewtwo is of course upset about this, so he blows up Giovanni's hideout and goes on his own.
Sometime later, Ash, Misty, and Brock are lured into a trap, along with some other trainers, via an invitation to battle "the world's greatest Pokemon master". Mew, somehow sensing that it is needed, also goes to Mewtwo's hideout.
Mewtwo ends up cloning their Pokemon, rather like the scientists who created him, and a great battle ensues between the normal Pokemon and the super-clones, not to mention between Mewtwo and Mew.
In short, this movie is in fact really good, despite the bad reviews it tends to get. I'm not sure I'd recommend it for especially young or sensitive children, though, because there are certain amounts of violence in it, but no one dies or anything.
Well, actually, Ash gets turned to stone, but he comes back to life after a few minutes, being the main character and all, and it's supposed to tie in with something someone said earlier on in the movie.

I love pokemon I saw this movie in theaters and it was the best movie id ever seen. I should order this film. But to much people are saying that the japenese original is better.I learned for a fact since the japenese theatrical version of the movie is that when it came out in dvd the japenese version of the birth of mewtwo was released as a prequelhere in the u.s also .The birth of mewtwo and mewtwo strikes back the movie are in two diffrent dvds. Due to time approx.Also the crtics are really wrong the movie is not 55 minutes its much more longer than that . The movie is 75 mins/ 1hr and 15mins and UNCUT Also know there is a special edition dvd that put both the movie ands mewtwos story together in japan.The same thing here but a little cut. So dont listen to what ohters say there. Ive seen the birth of mewtwo in japenese the full version her is in pokemon mewtwo returns.Should of been PG.

I have seen this movie several times and I must say that its one of the best Poke'mon movies made. The poke'mon are drawn well in this movie and the characters voice acting are done quite well.
Overall I give this movie like a 3.5 rounded to four!
The One Movie That Started It All August 8, 2005

This Movie Is Way Cool. It's The One Movie That Started It All.
I Used To Own It. And I Was Just Blown Away By It. My Favorite Part In The Movie Was In "Pikachu's Vaction" When Charizard Got It's Head Stuck In A Pipe. And Pikachu And The Others (Onyx, Geodude, Psyduck, And A Whole Host Of Others) Tried To Get Charizard Out Of The Pipe. Then They Got It Out. And They Were Happy. Oh And At The Very End Of The Movie You Will See Mew Flying To An Icey Mountain. So I Would Like Everyone To Buy This Movie. It's A Must Have For Anyone Who Like's Pokemon.
