Good or bad, it's either a must-see in your house, or not even on the radar screen. - 63
Boston Globe
2000 isn't about nobility and humility; saving the planet from evil collectors is what sells video games. - 50

A decidedly mixed bag. - 40
Austin Chronicle
The storylines are as confusing (or as simple?) to the uninitiated as they were before, but that doesn't stop them from making sense to the kids. - 30
Variety
A much more intense action vehicle for hero Ash Ketchum and his band of pocket monster trainers than its leaden, sometimes claustrophobic predecessor. - 25
New York Post
Even duller than the original, but will fulfill its function as a feature-length commercial for Pokemon merchandise. - 10
The New York Times
As good as cut-rate animation that seems to consist of screen savers can be.
