Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle

Pokémon movies are usually boring or annoying. This one is surprisingly well paced.

Well, the ideas are obviously taken from Tarzan and Avatar, but it works well. Characters are likable and well-written.

A standard average pokemon movie is what we have here. Taking a step back from the gorgeous animation from "i Choose you". We follow a tarzan story, except the humans call him Coco and the apes call him..Goku? Im pretty sure they were saying Goku.

Ten years ago, a mythical Pokémon known as a Zarude finds a baby boy abandoned in the forest of Okoya, which is near Lilliput Town, and leaves his tribe to raise him and find his birth parents, naming him Koko. In the present day, Koko is a feral boy who lives in the jungle, having nicknamed his caretaker Dada, as the two would have a fateful encounter with Ash and Pikachu, and the four are forced to team up with an evil doctor attacks the Great Tree.

Yeah, this Pokémon movie is mostly inspired by Tarzan, but it manages to be its own thing as well. While it does deal with a human raised by a ape (that is, the ape being a Zarude, a new Pokémon introduced in this movie and added to the games as a mythical, which are only given out during certain events), it has plenty of heart-warming moments, as well as action, and a good moral about unity. The characters are all done well, and the villain is the best of the new characters. If you are a Pokemaniac or have kids, this one is worth checking out.

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.

Well my expectations were all over the air,but it's actually my second Pokemon movie so I can get see how all this plays out, but hey it's amazing so see did your self.
