This, and Pokemon 2000 were definitely my favourite pokemon movies, the stories just felt so dark despite some cheesy moments and Phillip Bartlett was a great actor for Mewtwo, I think everyone should watch the film at least once if only for his unique role since a performance like that will never be heard again.

The first Pokemon movie was the best.
It's too bad the English dub replaced the original music and missed the point of the movie.

The second movie is my personal favorite. "Tears of Life" is a pretty good piece of music IMO.

@Jackson_H Give me "Mewtwo Toujou!" over that any day.
Also, I prefer this movie because of how much darker and more mature it was in comparison to the TV series (at least, until the Disney end).

This was a good movie, though I admit that I slightly prefer Pokemon 2000. I remamber kids going crazy over this movie in the US! It was all they were talking about!
