One of my favorite Pokemon films, this one felt more like a sci-fi epic, like the first film. Rayquaza and Deoxys are both very cool Pokemon. The animation was really good too.

I've seen bits of this movie before but never watched it all the way through. Just became my second favorite movie. Good battles, decent story for pokemon, can't ask for more than that.

Rayquaza is a beast.

Not one of the best movies, but it was still epic.
Loved the Munchlax debut (for those of you who don't know, Munchlax is a diamond and pearl pokemon)

Maybe the legendary Pokemons weren't really impressive, but I really like setting in this movie.

I think that the battle of Ryuqaza VS Deoxys was much better than the battle of Mewtwo Vs Mew in the first movie.

Rayquaza when he wins in the beginning and obliterate Deoxys : " Yayy i won, look i beat it! i won , victory is mine =)! "
Rayquaza when over run by the cubes : " wtf you humans make this kind of shiz!? gahh "
Rayquaza is like that one kid who doesn't want to lose and gets back up. Pretty cool movie! Funny thing is, Rayquaza wasnt going all out. He has more potential ;^) wink wink.

Life changing. I absolutely LOVED that moment when munchlax fixes the bin and tries to kick the bottle in there. It was so INSPIRATIONAL. I will NEVER forget the lesson I learned when watching that scene. 10/10

I really liked this movie, fantastic setting and love the high tech stuff.
The designs of Rayquaza and Deoxys were fantastic.

Really enjoyable for what it is even if the story isn't as meaningful as some of the others.

I enjoyed this movie when it come out on TV as a kid, but now watching it as an adult I have a different feeling to it more so for me now. I liked the movie a lot back then but I think it's an Ok movie. They really went all-out on this film compared to the other Gen 3 films with a GG Battle throughout, (Deoxys VS Rayquaza). GEN 3 is my childhood when it comes to the games and anime.
