*WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD*Yes sure... the pacing was a bit poor. And it did have lots of flaws, yes it did feel a little short, and yes I know Xerneas & Yveltal didn't really battle, they just had a starring contest. BUT... It was way better than the other 2 movies. Even better than Jirachi Wish Maker, Giratina & the sky warrior and even better than the FIRST movie cause at least this one isn't overrated like the first is and at least Pikachu wasn't brought back to life after dying in a STUPID way like Ash was in the first movie. Ash was brought back to life by TEARS in the first movie but Xerneas just used its power to bring Pikachu back to life. And it was a good start for the XY Movies. Imo Hoopa & the clash of ages is worse than this movie will ever be. I thought Ash, Clemont, Serena, and Bonnie protecting Diancie from a group of jewel thieves was pretty entertaining to watch. It was fun to watch Serena and Bonnie do stuff with it too. The part where Yveltal awakens is probably my favorite part of the movie cause Yveltal is my favorite legendary Pokemon behind Kyogre, and Lunala too. Out of all the Pokemon movies, this one was the cutest. What made me like the movie more is that Diancie let Bonnie keep a diamond she created and it didn't disappear, we find that out at the end of the movie. That was very cute. The movie wasn't too bad. I definitely wouldn't call it the worst movie, or the best either cause there were some flaws in the movie. I still take it over the first movie, the 15th movie, the 16th movie, and especially the Jirachi Wish Maker one ANY day. It really isn't that bad. I recommend giving it a watch. ^-^

It was great to see a pokemon movie with Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont into it. Unfortunately, the movie keeps making the same mistakes that the other lesser Pokémon films made. It's too short! In a movie that has tons of characters that can be really annoying! It's bad when they try to cram in all of these characters in something that's so short. I am still glad to be introduced to all of these new pokemon, even though I'll probably forget them. This movie's plot features a pokemon princess (yes, really) Diancie, who has to make diamonds to stop a cocoon containing Yveltal with help from Xerneas.Does it seem like I'm just making up words? I feel bad for not being able to keep up with them. Team Rocket do appear for awhile, so they're cool. This just tries to put in so many pokemon and I think they're like five different people that are coming after Diancie in the end. I guess since all featured pokemon in movies can use telepathy, it's not a big deal to hear them talk. The movies themselves are formulaic with Ash and the gang simply meeting some new legendary talking pokemon they have to save. The earlier films really did have variety. Not even an AmourShipping moment! *1/2

Quite honestly, this Pokémon adventure didn't really do it for me. Despite the action and adventure, a lot of the time, I felt like I was watching one of those movies that are aimed at little girls ages 6 or younger.The plot is SO clichéd. It's your basic story about a spoiled princess with a heart of gold who doesn't think she's worthy and has to prove to be a real princess.Diancie is incredibly annoying and incredibly adorable in equal amounts. With her always cheerful attitude and the many "girly" scenes such as the 2-minute scene where they shop for clothes, this felt more like "My Little Pony" than Pokémon. I know Pokémon is generally aimed at a younger audience, but come on!We have yet another Pokémon film that suffers from one-dimensional, unexplored villains. I like the idea of having one of the villains be a ninja, but they failed to make Ninja Riot or his partner Marilyn Flame characters that you can really take seriously. The other party who is after Diancie felt unnecessary.Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are weak characters, just like Iris and Cilan from the previous generation. The scene where Ash nearly falls from the ladder to get Diancie is so stupid. Clemont later gets one of his Pokémon to get Diancie instead. Why didn't he just do that in the first place?Things got better in the last 15 minutes. Yveltal is an ideal legendary Pokémon, and Pikachu turning into stone and being brought back was a nice tribute to the first Pokémon movie.To be fair, the film is reasonably entertaining, but it still doesn't cut it as a Pokémon movie. It's still better than "Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice" and it's also better than its successor ("Hoopa and The Clash of Ages"), but it still remains one of the worst Pokémon movies.RATING: C

me no like the movie was boring it looks like rip off of wizard of oz there was no epic legendary fights. i didn't want to waste my time on it it wasn't worth watching it was boring dark bird didn't even do a lot did i mention it was boring? the legendary deer didn't do a lot why does this have a high rating? this movie wasn't worth watching u want to know why? its because they didn't do that much, all they did was walk around to same some lame kingdom and it wasn't even that good, no action whatsoever, it just makes it feel like the movies are getting more boring and boring. did i mention it was boring? i bet i did because that's how boring it is ha! so do not watch, the movie was boring, no epic fights and boring.
