Pokémon: Jirachi - Wish Maker (2004)

Note: Although many may not consider this review a spoiler, what is considered a spoiler is different for different people so I checked it just in case.I found this movie really lacking compared to the other films so far. The plot has been the same as the fourth and fifth films. The worlds in danger, Pokémon gets captured by someone who want's to use it's energy to rule the world or gain trust. After awhile it's gets quite repetitive. As I don't follow the new series, I didn't find any connection toward the new characters, and while the it was sort of entertaining, there wasn't really anything new added. I found it wasn't able to keep my attention. I guess if you're a kid, or are a fan of the new characters you'll find this movie enjoyable, but it just wasn't something I was personally interested in.

If you like Pokemon as much as I do, you won't want to miss the appearance of a Pokemon that is, otherwise, never shown on TV. Though I would make an exception for this movie, even you're a hardcore Pokemon fan.I've been following Pokemon shows, games and movies ever since I was a child. This has got to be the most boring Pokemon movie yet! More than half of the entire movie is FILLERS and nothing but FILLERS. The plot is crappy and the only character development was when their past is revealed in a brief sentence or two. The voice over is terrible, especially for Jirachi. Half way through, I was so disappointed that it felt painful to sit on my seat.The only reason why this movie didn't receive a 1 star from me is because of the sudden twist towards the end. It saved the movie and made it almost worth watching.Again, even for hardcore Pokemon fans, you might want to simply skip the first half. Trust me, you won't miss a damn thing!

I wasn't expecting much. I found the Mewtwo movie better. I thought it would be interesting having a pokemon grant wishes, but hey this is for kids. I have also seen pokemon 2 and will be watching Pokemon 7 Destiny Deoxys. I started watching the TV series then the red/blue gold silver and other games came out, then we got the Mewtwo movie so I have missed the ones between 2 and this one. If you don't know much about pokemon you wont get the small team rocket parts and the powers pokemon have such as Pikachu's thunder attacks, but you wont miss much of the story. Go back and watch the TV series or play a gameboy version if you're a bit lost but I doubt it.A better name for the magician could have been better, though it was original. The plot is simple and you don't need to guess whats going to happen.

Thank you, Pokemon!!! I really enjoyed movie! This movie was so great that I gave this movie 10 out of 10! Thanks to computer graphics (I think it was included in there), and the animations, for Pokemon and Pokemon characters, I really loved this movie! Oh my god..., I can't stop but think about this movie after I watched it. The music was good, the plot was good, the animations were good... I mean great, everything was good. No wait, I say everything's GREAT, not good! Man, I'm so excited about this. No wonder I can't stop but think about this movie all over again. I can watch it over again, too, so that I'll be able to remember this throughout my life. I recommend this movie to everyone, so watch it and remember it!
