2000 isn't about nobility and humility; saving the planet from evil collectors is what sells video games.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Good or bad, it's either a must-see in your house, or not even on the radar screen.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Paula Nechak
A decidedly mixed bag.

Baltimore Sun by Chris Kaltenbach
Will keep kids happy and parents mildly entertained.

Austin Chronicle by Marjorie Baumgarten
The storylines are as confusing (or as simple?) to the uninitiated as they were before, but that doesn't stop them from making sense to the kids.

Variety by Robert Koehler
A much more intense action vehicle for hero Ash Ketchum and his band of pocket monster trainers than its leaden, sometimes claustrophobic predecessor.
25
New York Post
Even duller than the original, but will fulfill its function as a feature-length commercial for Pokemon merchandise.

Kids -- may like this movie. But kids like green ketchup, so what do they know?

L.A. Weekly
Only a 10-year-old could parse the plot.

The New York Times by A.O. Scott
As good as cut-rate animation that seems to consist of screen savers can be.
