As a long time Pokémon fan who was a teenager when the franchise was released (and the first movie was released when I was in eighth grade), this remake was unnecessary and disappointing. While I am giving it two stars for the effort of keeping the movie close to the script, there is some problems. The character models are iffy, as the humans look like something taken from an Imagi movie (you know the company that did that Astro Boy movie). Also, whoever took over the roles for Misty and Brock are not doing a good job mimicking the roles (Brock sounds a little too gruff, and Misty sounds too light), and why did they have to change some of the lyrics to the classic Pokémon anime theme? I recommend avoiding this and watching the original Mewtwo Strikes Back instead.
