Pokémon the Movie 2000 Ratings & Reviews
Soham Jaiswal
March 31, 2025
It was a childhood movie, it was nice as a child, as an adult it's lackluster but it's fine i think.
Los Angeles Times
Gene Seymour
This freshly baked and frosted big-screen "Pokemon" goes down with a sweetness that charms without talking down to its audience.
Austin Chronicle
Mike Emery
Although the animation is crisp, the story is too apocalyptic to appreciate.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Better than the first, but that's not saying much.
Variety
Robert Koehler
A much more intense action vehicle for hero Ash Ketchum and his band of pocket monster trainers than its leaden, sometimes claustrophobic predecessor.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
Probably about as good as cut-rate animation that seems to consist of screen savers can be.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A class-A migraine in soupy, gloopy Technicolor.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
The film is littered with such snide indictments of the entire consumer-merchant Pokemon relationship that you'll never 'catch 'em all' with your youngster in quite the same way again.
New York Post
Hannah Brown
The filmmakers have tried hard to come up with an original plot, but somehow this film is actually duller than the first Pokemon movie.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Malcolm Mayhew
Has neither drama or comedy ... or a decent story.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
Pokemon goes down with a sweetness that charms without talking down to its audience.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Just another plastic accessory in the wildly popular world of Pokemon.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bob Longino
Slightly better than a poke in the eye.
Associated Press
Ted Anthony
Surprisingly entertaining.
Seattle Times
Melanie McFarland
Though relatively trim, Pokemon 2000 still feels long.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Excruciating as it can be for parents to endure, it may be worthwhile for kids to see the movie.
Dallas Morning News
Nancy Churnin
The absence of a compelling villain translates into an absence of excitement.
Film.com
Sean P. Means
One can almost hear a droning noise.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
Actually quite entertaining and sophisticated.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Ugly animation, hackneyed plots, one-dimensional characters, and the Pokemon gibberish that makes the Teletubbies sound as if they were speaking the King's English.
