Pokémon 7 - Destiny Deoxys

This movie was the type of pokemon movie I always wanted to see. A lot of fun. I was hooked from the first battle scene. After all the previous ones I've seen (havent seen 3 & 4 yet) this one I found the best.

I like the intro to these movies as they give a brief explanation of pokemon, this movie showed a few scenes from the previous movies.

The starting fight between the alien poke and the earth one was cool, showing off the aliens strength for a little while.

I liked the few scenes just with poke doing amusing things with feelgood background music.

Ash is the focus of course, a few new characters and poke are introduced, and its good to see Tory make friends with those plus and minus pokemon.

After the end you see everyone board a train and go their separate ways which ended it nicely.

Really enjoyable movie in the hi tech city.

This is great! Thanks to computer graphics and animations, this movie appeared on TV. Just like every Pokemon movies, Miramax Films made this movie associated with Kids WB! or 4 Kids Entertainment. But this time, the distributors are Walt Disney Pictures instead of Kids WB!. This surprised me, however, but different distributors has different ideas on the movie that they'll make. This is ab assumption, but it could be a fact.... Anyway, it's great to see a movie with different distributors with different ideas. Once again, thank you Pokemon for creating your 7th movie. I'm sorry that it's not as great as the 6th one (which was my most favorite one), but you'll do better. I trust you. Besides, every character has to play some role in every movies.

This movie was good from start to finish. It had some plot holes but i won't be too harsh on it. The movie felt fantastic in quality compared to the previous that i've seen.

Highlight was seeing Dexoy in action and Snorlax. I just wish they explained Deoxy a bit more. I didn't know much about him by the end of the movie.

To this point in the anime series, the movies always felt bigger than the tv show. They had great booming music behind it, a secret legendary Pokémon to look forward to, and of course the extremely childish, but entertaining pikachu short before it in theaters. What you instantly notice about this movie, is although it features two legendary Pokémon, deoxys and rayqueza, there is no build up or story behind it that grabs your attention.

What is really bothersome about this movie is the HORRID animation. It's better at some points, and extremely sloppy in others. The movie has no structure and it's pretty confusing. I remember when I was a child watching this, I had no idea what was going on.

It's just a sloppy movie that really serves no purpose but to be the "yearly" film where ash and co. Save the world. But it's just very empty, and this theme will continue in the next few movies after it as well in the series.

I know I'm in a minority, but in my opinion, this is one of the best of the Pokémon series. It gets things back on track after the underwhelming "Jirachi" movie.

The film returns the series to the epic scope and feel of "Pokémon 2000." I loved LaRousse City as the setting. It was very colorful and creative.

The story is pretty interesting. Tory being afraid of all Pokemon was a neat idea, even if it got a little annoying after a while. I liked Sid and Rafe as supporting characters.

Deoxys makes for an awesome antagonist. He is an interesting legendary Pokémon, and he is also somewhat sympathetic as he is more misunderstood than evil.

This is definitely one of the most action-packed Pokémon movies to date. From LaRousse losing its power to the gang battling multiple Deoxyses to the exhilarating battles between Deoxys and Rayquaza to the robot blocks going haywire, it really delivers some excitement.

The music score is once again really good and, for some reason, I have a soft spot for the song "This Side of Paradise." The song just gives me a really good feeling.

The superfluous Munchlax scenes aside, this is one of the most thoroughly enjoyable entries in the series. I'd definitely say it's in my top 5 Pokémon movies, but not quite top 3. This is a very underrated film that I recommend to any Pokémon fan.

RATING: A-
