Pokemon is a popular culture icon, stemming from a Japanese gaming franchise and has been brought to the public more widely through comic book, cartoon and movie publications. Especially in May 2019, the movie Live action Pikachu Detective has made a big splash when it first brought these cute animals to the big screen with relative success. Taking advantage of that trust of audiences, Netflix recently released the latest animated film about Pokemon on its online platform. Come on, let's go with WebTech360 Pokemon: Mewtwo. Counterattack now and always.

Plot: Based on artifacts related to Mew - anancient Pokemon only in legend, scientists have cloned to create Mewtwo. With the ultimate power of thelegendary Pokemon and human intelligence, Mewtwo feels lost and contains many questions about himself, thereby becoming hostile towards humans. So Mewtwo devised a sinister conspiracy by inviting the best Pokemon trainers(including Satoshi 's group ) on the island it resides.

In fact, Pokemon: Mewtwo Counterattack has been shown in the US, Korea and Japan since July 2019, but the rest of the world has no chance to enjoy it. Therefore, Netflix acquired the copyright and released this movie on February 27 - Pokemon Day . This is also the first Pokemon movie to be shown on the world's leading online movie platform.

Returning to the content of the movie, although WebTech360 has not seen Pokemon: Mewtwo Counterattack once, the plot of the movie is really quite familiar, even I feel like I have seen it. Perhaps stories related to Mewtwo have been adapted into cartoons and movies too many times, so viewers already know the origin and thoughts of this super Pokemon too.

This has made the film unattractive and dramatic, although WebTech360 has to admit that the Pokemon in the movie are super cute, looking just wanting to poke. You will also encounter many familiar characters of the brand such as friends of Satoshi , the key Pokemon of the animated TV series in the past or the Super Rocket team. Anyone who has ever loved Pokemon on TV will definitely be happy to see Pokemon: Mewtwo Counterattack .

This animated film is handled entirely by CGI technology , giving a more realistic feel of Pokemon with 3D block buoyancy. However, the limitation of this technique is that it makes the characters' faces stiff, slow gestures, less flexible than other 2D-style animated movies.

Another weakness of the film is that the outcome is not as expected. Viewers look forward to an epic battle between Pokemon, but the ending scene is deeply immersed in the emotional element, even the movie omits many fictional and ridiculous details just to honor the love between the children. people and Pokemon . This is also the message that the film wants to convey, but the effect is not really high because the details and the way of implementing the story are difficult to capture viewers' tears. WebTech360 marks this part 6/10 guys.

Image - Sound : As mentioned above, thanks to modern computer technology, the shapes of characters, especially Pokemon, become more lively and cute. Colors in the film are bright, eye-catching, and blend in with the overall film. The action scenes in Pokemon: Counter-Strike Mewtwo are really eye-pleasing and engaging, unfortunately these are a bit short and a bit less. The sound of the movie is nothing outstanding, except that the screenings of Netflix have English, Japanese and Vietnamese dubfor you to freely choose. WebTech360gives 7/10 for these 2 sections.

Acting: Pokemon 's weakest point : Mewtwo The counter-attack is the character's stiff expression due to the CGI graphics. It feels more like watching a game story than watching a true cartoon. In addition, the movie has many characters added mainly to remind viewers of memories but their roles are very fuzzy, leaving that role does not matter. WebTech360 marks the acting part 6/10 guys.

Assessment scale:

IMDB: 6 /1 0 (463 reviews)

Google: 86/100

Cliphub: 8.7 / 10

In a nutshell , Pokemon: Counterattack Mewtwo is an animated film that is quite a must-see fortrue Pokemon fansas it features a lot of the brand's familiar characters as well as the looks and graphics of the extreme movie. cute period. However, neutral audiences will find the film lacking in drama, simplicity and familiarity. Therefore, WebTech360 believes that movie publishers selling copyright to Netflix is a very reasonable and wise move.

And you, how do you rate this movie?
