This was a fairly decent Pokémon movie. This is hardly up there with the best ones, but it's at least a vast improvement over the fiasco that was "Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice."I thought the premise was kind of interesting. I liked the dynamic with the Genesect having been created the same way that Mewtwo was. Not a bad way of using the cliché of machines created by humans turning into monsters.The animation and GCI are top-notch, and the scenery is really nice in a setting that is based off Manhattan. The action scenes were also pretty good, and it was nice to see Ash's Charizard again.However, there are lots of flaws. Of course, I didn't think there was any need for another movie involving Mewtwo, and I have no idea why Mew has a female voice in this film. It was kind of strange how Mewtwo just suddenly started caring about humans during the climax of the film.The baby Genesect was kind of annoying with it constantly repeating "I want to go home" over and over. The script has its weak spots and some scenes are kind of strange. Also, there's Iris and Cilan.While not everything in this one measures up, this is still a mostly satisfying addition to the series. Not really a must-see, but still worth a look for Pokémon fans.RATING: B-

I am reviewing the movie Pokemon: Genesect and The Legends Awakens. In the movie the five Genesect including the red Genesect are brought back to life from fossils. Genesect are legendary Pokemon who have been dead for millions of years. In the movie Mewtwo a legendary Pokemon who was created to be a clone of a Pokemon named Mew is trying to go beyond the limit of Earth with its new power of Mega- Evolving. The Genesect look for their home, but they can't find it for the reason that they lived millions of years ago. They now try to take Pokemon hills as their new home. In the movie Ash Ketchum and Pikachu become friends with the youngest Genesect.The movie shows the moral of sharing and to live live with one another. I did not like the fact that Mewtwo did not recognize or show any memory of Ash Ketchup when he attempted in taking over the world in the first movie. Another change to Mewtwo was they changed Mewtwo's voice to a girl, which I did not enjoy as much as much as the old version. If I would to make the movie I would make it where Mewtwo comes to remember Ash and Pikachu and not remove that out.

This Pokemon movie is pretty good. It had a good plot, good themes and good animations. There were many kinds of Pokemon from older generations. Kids are sure to enjoy Ash's adventures and Pikachu's heroics. However, I hated Mewtwo's voice, personality and character design. It's definitely not the same Mewtwo from the Pokemon movies back in my day. They would've been better off leaving Mewtwo out of the movie. Also, I wish Cilan had gotten more screen time. Cilan is my favorite character. He is funny and has a great personality, but they made him run off somewhere for 1/3 of the movie. The movie was too serious.

I like the new Pokemon Genesect design. I also like how they have brought back Mewtwo. I think that the main story is new and very creative. I think that they have done some of the things the same like them being happy, then sad at the fight scene and last everyone happy in the end. that does tend to happen a lot. Though all this is good I think that the script writers do need to research on there Pokemon information. As Mewtwo already learnt his lesson, also Mewtwo didn't act like it knew Ash though it ha met him in the first movie. I think Mewtwo is a good Pokemon to introduce mega evolution as it is a legendary Pokemon so no one would think of it as a next evolution but as a special ability that Mewtwo has a legendary Pokemon. I think that maybe in X and Y though Ash might have figured out that it was a mega evolution when the professor introduced him to it.
