Fun for the youngest in the crowd, especially if they're fans of the anime or games; the rest will have a better time playing Pokemon Gold or Silver. [Full review in Spanish]

The fourth "Pokemon" is a diverting--if predictable--adventure suitable for a matinee, with a message that cautions children about disturbing the world's delicate ecological balance.

Its save-the-planet message clashes with its crass marketing.

The fourth in a series that I'll bet most parents had thought --hoped! -- was a fad that had long since vanished.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 24, 2002

A rote exercise in both animation and storytelling.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 13, 2002

This is rote drivel aimed at Mom and Dad's wallet.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 13, 2002

An improvement on the feeble examples of big-screen Poke-mania that have preceded it.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Oct 12, 2002

It's hard to imagine that even very small children will be impressed by this tired retread.

The animation and game phenomenon that peaked about three years ago is actually dying a slow death, if the poor quality of Pokemon 4 Ever is any indication.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 11, 2002

4Ever has the same sledgehammer appeal as Pokemon videos, but it breathes more on the big screen and induces headaches more slowly.

At best this is a film for the under-7 crowd. But it would be better to wait for the video. And a very rainy day.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Oct 11, 2002

Well, it does go on forever.

What kids will discover is a new collectible. What parents will suspect is that they're watching a 76-minute commercial.

If your idea of fun is gargling vinegar, don't miss the fourth full-length Pokemon feature film.
