Derrick Pittman But Why Tho? A Geek Community Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back – Evolution is a fun time and if you’ve seen the first movie hits you in the nostalgic feels. It’s great seeing the original trio of trainers together and all of their beloved Pokemon. Rated: 7/10 Apr 11, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

matthias s "Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution" seems to have taken the Pokémon world into a controversial vortex of love and disappointment. While the revamped animation splashes vibrant life into the Pokémon universe, with characters looking sleek and vibrant, this remake is like an awkward remix at a party – you're excited at first, but then the beat just doesn't sync. The newly altered theme song might leave fans cringing in nostalgia agony, wishing for the original's magic. Mewtwo's sinister presence is a highlight, thanks to a chillingly well-voiced performance. But the charm of the original is sorely missed, as this remake feels unnecessary, like repackaging a classic snack in an unappealing new wrapper. The fight sequences disappoint with illogical choices – Razor Leaf against Bulbasaur? C'mon, that's Pokémon 101! Yet, despite its missteps, the emotional punch of the ending manages to hit home, reminding fans why they fell in love with the original story. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review Stuart M I was expecting nostalgia but got a hollow remake instead.
