This series isn't getting any better.

It was definitely better than the previous movie, for me. I liked the set location and the characters were more likeable. The previous one had a cool character story reveal though which was awesome but can't beat Europe/Venice nostalgia. Also, first pokemon movie that used digital animation which is pretty cool.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

For the most part, Pokémon Heroes takes it all too serious to be the final film to take place in the OG era. But watching the next ones, and you'll be sure to compare them by the end.

[A] sunny, gentle action yarn with numbingly repetitive chase scenes and bouncy interludes of playtime.

Pokémon Heroes features fewer gratuitous pokéfights than its precursors, and also lacks a dutifully over-repeated moral, but it doesn't replace these Pokémon staples with anything substantive.

Below-average for series and too violent for younger kids.

Rated: 2/5

In "Pokemon Heroes," a pair of dolphin-like sibling creatures are the center of intrigue. Latias and Latios--the newest characters from the Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Sapphire video games--make their big-screen debut in this spunky adventure.

Rated: 2.5/4

It's a pity, since more could be done with the core concept of Pokémon: something more emotional and interesting, and less childish. [Full review in Spanish]
