My Review.....
It was really good! It had a great plot, and it was much more developed than the first one. It had usual Team Rocket things thrown in there that were hysterical!

(I can't remember the exact thing but it went like this)
It looks like the bad guys were good guys today!
That's good!
What if the boss finds out?
That's bad
We'll start our own team!
That's good!
We don't have any money
That's bad
We'll steal some money!
That's good!
Or is that bad?

I also liked how in this movie, Misty actually cared about Ash, Flura (Melody) Kept asking her things like are you his girlfriend, and refering to her as his girlfriend, and she got really mad. But when it came down to it.....
Melody: Here take this (handing Misty the ocarana)
Misty: Why?
Melody: Ash can't do this alone. Misty: Here, I'll go, Ash isn't alone as long as he has.....me
{very sweet scene}
and she goes and saves him We know that she will at least admit he is her friend, and not enemy because of when he is unconsious, she's trying to wake him up and saying things like "No Ash, please wake up, can you hear me? you can't be....." then he wakes up. [close but no cigar! darn!]

I liked lugia's voice, it was kule! Too bad they didn't expand on Jirauden (the bad "collector" guy), maybe it was because he didn't have a name, oh well, he was kule and I loved the "mew card" thing at the end.

The thing that suprised me the most and that I was most pleased with was the Legend. In teh japanese version it says the world will need help from a superior master. While in the american version they say the world will turn to Ash, leading you to think that the actual planet will turn into black dust (ash) when really (jeez misty is smart!) the world will turn to Ash for help.....FUNNY LINE!!!!! "What do you think Ash?" "Well right now I'm wishing my mom named me bob"

In the same area I think it's sweet how Misty, and the pokemon tell Ash he can do it, and although he cries (we haven't seen that in a long time!) i think it's a sweet seen.

The Animation in some parts was totally awesome! Like the under water scenes, and the scenes where they showd the ship from afar. They were really well done in my opinion.


these are my views, please don't steal them!
