PokA©mon 4: The Movie (2002)

The fourth Pokémon feature follows the pattern set by the previous three--and falls into the same traps. The TV series depicts the modest adventures of Pokémon trainer Ash Ketcham and his friends Brock and Misty as they roam an imaginary world, fighting matches and making friends. The features add elaborate CG effects that don't mesh with the flat, drawn characters, and over-scaled threats that feel beyond Ash's abilities to resolve. Forty years ago, Sam, a young trainer, meets the 251st Pokémon Celebi (it looks like Tinkerbell with a goldfish for a head). To escape a mean hunter, Celebi brings Sam to the present day, where they meet Ash & Company. They also meet the evil Iron Mask Marauder who's supposed to be a member of Team Rocket, but who's much nastier than the comically inept Jessie, James, and Meowth. The Marauder corrupts Celebi with a "dark ball" and forces it to create a monster out of trees, branches, etc., that is blatantly copied from the Night Walker in Princess Mononoke. Ash and his friends eventually save the day, the Pokémon, and the forest--but it all feels like we've been there/done that. --Charles Solomon Amazon.com

Perhaps the Downfall

This is my official Pokemon movie review part 5 of 10. Pokemon 4ever was not the movie that it's predecessors had been. While I watched this I was thinking about it being a real long television episode. This is partially biased due to my dislike of cute legendary Pokemon. I think their plots really dwindle. Although Suicune is one of my favorites I think a little more air time with him would have been more exciting. I was thinking delving deeper into a connection between Suicune and Celebi.

Pokemon Rules

I love Pokemon. The good guys always win and the bad guys always learn a lesson and often times help the good guys out, sometimes without even knowing it. Plus, anything that keeps my daughter entertained is wonderful. My daughter fell in love with Pokemon at 4 years old and is now 12 and still loves it. This movie has gotten alot of use in our household. December 24, 2006

The whole Movies - I've Seen EM!

This movie is about celebi captured by the iron masked maruder.
when sam finds himself almost concius inside a twig monster,there goes it!and he just evolved a huge mtagross into bad monsters.

Nothing is known about 'em.

and then,the iron masked maruder is a part of team rocket!
the boy half of team rocket is:james! he got knocked off a branch,with the other team rocket members,jessie and meowth.
also fellow trainers,misty,ash,brock and pikachu got knocked off.
and sam finds himself in a forest full of butterfree with
stun spores!
but will ash and sam stop the iron masked maruder?
pikachu also has a hide - and - seek game in the bonus movie,
but his whole crowd of pokemon playing are interupted by a huge
mowing machine pushed by meowth.after that,he pushed along and falls into a chimney.but the mowing machine popped his ballon off
with wobbuffet! the pokemon are chased in a hedge maze by the huge mowing machine.
the pokemon threw the mowing machine into water,but it came back up, chasing them. they tried their attacks, but it would not work.
