Critics Consensus

This series isn't getting any better.

Bill Stamets

Chicago Reader

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

AV Club

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.

Common Sense Media

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]

The adaptation of the movie is good, but the executive meddling from the Weinsteins is a bit annoying. Why is there an intense dark blue tint added to the film?! It makes the movie darker than it should be!

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

It follows the Pokemon movie formula but the Miramax English version is pretty annoying
