The eighth in a series that as of this month will run at least ten movies, "Lucario and the Mystery of Mew" spins a surprisingly taut tale, hitting the targets that the first, Mewtwo-centric movie misfired on. In addition to the title Pokémon, the movie also features three creatures called Regirock, Regice and Registeel, strange beings (even for Pokémon) that have braille writing in place of faces and empty, robotic personalities that give them a truly frightening presence.
The ending, in which two important characters to the story are shown dying, is surprisingly powerful for a Pokémon series moment.
I highly recommend it for anyone who's ever been a Pokémon fan. Casual fans will likely enjoy it, too.
