Shall we do a movie marathon?
With the 10th (real) movie coming out at the end of the month I was wondering if anyone wanted to waste a day of theirs away sometime this summer watching them all start to finish! At the end we could then rate them from 1 to 10. Maybe if it wouldn't be to distracting be in a chatroom or something discussing them as we watch.
Below are the runtimes for each: 01 - 1:36 02 - 1:42 03 - 1:31 04 - 1:19 05 - 1:11 06 - 1:21 07 - 1:38 08 - 1:41 09 - 1:41 10 - 1:30 That's only about 13 hours right? So its not even a whole day! I guess some time could be allotted for meals or whatever... Whatcha think? |

If I had them, I'd do it. But I don't.

Re: Shall we do a movie marathon?
Some of them are so good they'd be great even if we weren't saying "it's good for a Pokemon film" and were instead comparing them with serious Hollywood films (e.g. #7, the one with Lucario and Sir Aaron) ...
... some of them are "good for a Pokemon movie" but not really all that great (e.g. #3, the one with the Unown-synthesized Entei and the little girl who misses her father) ... ... and some of them are best forgotten and never, ever rewatched (e.g. #1 with Mewtwo and Mew, or #8 [?] with Manaphy). Still, if you can find like-minded fans to join in, then this should work!

Talon's opinions are crazy. This is now a Talon's opinions are crazy thread.
2 > 3.5 > 1 > 10 > 6 > 4 > 5 > 8 > 9 > 3 > 7.

Re: Shall we do a movie marathon?
No, no, no, see, it goes like this.
1>2>everything else. That's how my childhood said it worked, so that's how it works. |

Re: Shall we do a movie marathon?
Whaaaat? No one here has access to any of the movies? Well even if ya only have one of them available for viewing that'd be fine to. I'll just be the only one driven into a POKéMON movie overdose insanity by watching 'em all!

Re: Shall we do a movie marathon?
For the record, I think I was mistaken and the Lucario and Sir Aaron film was #8, not #7? That's what I wrote in my Facebook review of the movie, apparently, so ... yeah. I meant to say that #8 was my favorite ... or you know what I mean. I like the Lucario one best. Take away the Pokemon, change the names, and you'd pretty much have an epic children's film that would rank up there with The Land Before Time and The Secret of NIMH. And the writers were so awesomely bold with the ending and (spoiler) actually let both Lucario and Sir Aaron die! Thank you! An acceptable bittersweet ending!.

1 - Mewtwo/Mew
2 - Lugia/Birds 3 - Entei 4 - Celebi 5 - Latios/Latias 6 - Jirachi 7 - Deoxys 8 - Lucario 9 - Manaphy 10 - Darkrai 11 - Giratina Anyways, in my stubbornness to watch the movies subbed, I haven't seen any of the movies after the 2nd one. I guess I did have a chance to get 1-9 when I was in Taiwan last summer, but I passed on that because of my lack of interest in the series after the Kanto season. I'm rethinking my stance, and now I'm trying to get my sister to get the movies for me when she goes to Taiwan this summer. I thought that the first movie was terrific in its original Japanese. Sure, the conclusion was a bit campy, but the movie had good action, a great soundtrack, and a storyline that dared to bring up the ethics of cloning. And then 4Kids came and messed the entire thing up with their kiddy story and pop-filled soundtrack. It wasn't the proudest moment in Pokemon history. I'll be willing to watch the first movie again and re-watch the second, but that's all I have.
