Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle

I can't help but feel as though Pokémon has embraced that much of their audience are teenagers or even young adults. I had grown so used to cliche 4/10 - 5/10 quality films I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. In the past it felt as though writing "Pokémon" on the cover was enough to turn a profit. Now, the films have genuinely good content and not just the brand name.

This movie has a good plot, while admittedly not thoroughly original it is paced and written well. The action sequences were fun while still holding true to the cute nature of Pokémon we all know and love. This is a whole hearted good film that many age groups can enjoy, not just children looking for colorful animations.

8/10.
