Even the most ardent Pokémon fan would struggle with this film.My wife who is an avid Pokémon fan found it difficult. I'm not really into the Pokémon genre but i do enjoy watching the movies so when i heard this film was being released i was really looking forward to it.Even though It was a straight to video movie i thought I would give it the benefit of the doubt. However after watching this film the big question was, why did it need to be made. The main gist of the film is that after the first film,Mewtwo and his followers escaped to a deserted island so as to live in peace away from humans.In "Mewtwo returns",Giovanni the leader of Team Rocket, finds the island and attempts to recapture Mewtwo.Once again it is up to Ash and his friends to save the day. However even the introduction of a new Team Rocket member fails to stop this film sliding into mediocrity.The other movies in the series are worth watching but this film should only be watched if after the film you were wondering what happened to Mewtwo and his friends. I give this film 5/10 as even the most avid Pokémon fan would struggle with it.
