Eh, well, with me it's just like "everyone gets all hyped up about this being so dramatic, and in the end it's not that great." If Lucario didn't have so many people pointing at it and going "Look, someone dies in this movie, that proves it isn't two-dimensional!", I would have been okay with it. Unfortunately, it did get a bit hyped, or at least it seemed that way to me, and... yeah. It did have its moments.
Good Points:
1. One visually appealing character, Aaron. (At least, that's what my friend says... I'd describe him more as "not quite as odd-looking as every other guy in Pokemon.)
2. The opening shots of the castle. They had their moments- well, before Tailow/Mew flew in and made a bad contrast.
3. The concept of the tree of beggining being a living organism, complete with white blood cells.
Bad Points:
1. Animation was fairly off, even in comparison to one or two other Pokemon movies. *Pokes 'Mystery of the Unown'*
2. Lucario was just... meh. Another angsty human-hating Pokemon. *pokes Mewto*
3. Um... can anyone say "Really dorky-looking costumes?" Seriously, those things don't even look medieval to me. >.<
4. The narrator still hasn't died.
5. Aura, or wave, or whatever, is basically completely useless, seeing as everything it can do can be duplicated by something else in the Pokemon world. (i.e., heightened senses can duplicate its tracking ability, Pokemon can already use cool attacks, and people's lives can be saved by a Pokemon bawling its eyes out, so they didn't need aura anyway. Hold on, wait a minute, did I just expose a slight plot hole there?)
6. Lucario's attacks are lame. I mean, his pulse bombs counter hyper beams, and yet they deal no noticeable damage to the Regis. What is wrong with this picture?
