Genesect and the Legend Awakened is the worst thing that happened to Pokemon since the Porygon scene in first season of the show. I usually structure my reviews, but I just want to get this one over with.
Why does Mewtwo look deformed most of the time? His muzzle looks like a Lucario ripoff. He's a female now. A different personality, a different voice actor, a different role. First film has apparently been retconned.
Genesect are the most unlikable bunch of antagonists in any Pokemon film. Except for maybe Marauder in Celebi. Cold blooded killers and stupid savages, there's no reason to care for them or what happens to them.
Film is overflowing with jaring CGI and bad textures. Mewtwo likes flying into space like a retard just to compensate for being a watered down character from before. Ash meets one and only special snowflake good female Genesect just because plot. Ash is useless in the film and this one would've definitely been better with no human characters.
Dialogue is generally bad throughout all the film. Ash spreads friendship as a solution for everything so much this feels like a parody of itself. There are no exciting fights, no good music and no good locations. In fact, the final showdown location looks like a ripoff from Zoroark's film.
This fails at every level, it's insulting to audience, it's insulting to old fans and first to retcon stuff for what purpose? To make a really shitty film?
I'm not one of those crying over a retcon. Retconning is a tradeoff between new possibilities and faithfullness to the old. It's a risk and it failed spectacularly here. This film was a bad experiment and should never be mentioned again.
