A Really Good Fairy Tale For Lovers of Pokemon 
2008-01-23
This is my official Pokemon movie review part 3 of 10. The Spell of the Unown, I don't like titles like that. I would have much rather preferred "Entei and the Mystery of the Unown," but hey, that's not my decision. I think this movie is a good one. I like the whole fairy tale aspect of it. It actually gets me in my creative mode. Entei was the first unreal pokemon, being that he was just a creation of the Unown and not the real Entei. I liked that Mrs. Ketchum had more of a role in this movie. I always thought they could do something more with her away from that horrible Mr. Mime. It's a good movie to watch when you're trying to clear your head.

I am no illusion 2007-02-24
This was the third Pokemon movie to be release since the original first movie was released back in 1998. A word of warning even though I was in my teens when I saw this movie it gave me nightmares for about 2 weeks after I saw it the first time in VHS format. Even though the Pokemon TV series was supposed to be meant for ages 7 and up I do not recommend this movie to any one under the age of 15 due to heavy violence, large amounts of thematic elements, action sequences, and occasional scary images. This movie takes place during the Joto series. After ashes' mother is kidnapped by Entei on of the legendary dog Pokemon ash makes a heroic journey to rescue her. Entei takes ash mother to a girl named Molly who thinks Entei is her father. "During the beginning of the movie Molly's father was reading her a book and pretending to be Entie. Unfortunately shortly after leave for a dig Molly father was attacked by the Unknown who imprisoned the Professor in another dimension. Shortly after world the unknown took over control of the whole mansion. The unknown brought Entie out of Molly's dreams into the real world. It's up to ashes to prove to molly that Entie is not her father and to free his mother and mansion of the supernatural powers of the unknown. Can ashes once again come to the rescue and save the day? Find out in the thrilling conclusion.
Spell of the unown 2006-06-27
My favorite part is,when they made sharp japenese actions and manga. pokemon is one of my favorite manga (japnese comics) show.
the story is about,
molly, an 8 - year girl,
dreaming that her papa was entei. as long as molly believes in entei,he can do anything,including breaking the spell of the unown.
the jhoto faceoff is one of my favorite chapters.
it's because i saw the evovled\unevovled form of wobuffet.
and i like The huge battle of charizard vs. entei.
actually,entei is also fire type.
it uses pressure.
As entei brought a mama for molly,entei and molly tries to keep
ash from getting his mom back. he asks his chikorita and bulbasaur to use vine whip,
but while he climbs,it gets to much for chikorita and bulbasaur,
but he finally made it up in time.
when he tries with cyndaquil the use its flamethrower,the crystal goes replaced. but with vulpix,staryu,and totodile,
they got through.
the first battle was against brock.
brock was on a 3 on 3 pokemon battle stadium as ash and misty ran up the stairs.
the first pokemons were zubat vs. flaffy.
2nd pokemons are vulpix vs. teddiursa.
3rd pokemons are onix vs. phanpy.
next,misty was up to battle molly.
1st pokemons for this underwater battle,is goldeen and kingdra.
2nd are staryu vs.mantine.
after that chapter,she cries no!!!!!!!! when she does not want ash to get her mom. after that totodile is deafeated by entei.
cyndaquil is deafeated too.
also pikachu and ash almost falls into a pit of spikes.
luckily,charizard catchs them.
the charizard was up to battle. it was a long battle,but after the huge battle,i spike apeared next to ash. then a unown wreak havoc happens. it's because,the unown genarated so much psyhic energy,that it can't stand it.
the havoc stops and everything turns back to normal. now greenfield is restored and molly's papa returns.
but pikachu and pichu does with a special ocassion.
when ash says that they can do anything,
pikcahu wanders off with the pichu brothers.
but when they find a board in the water, a gyrados lifts the pikachu and pichu brothers out,falling onto a houndour.
it gets angry and chased them. but in the junkyard, they were safe, and they had alot of fun until houndour apearred.
and then they run across the junkyard, they climb up a pile of wheels's,and after that,the wheels fall down and pikachu and the pchu brothers peeked out and lifted the tire that houndour was under.but then,the junkyard building began fallinng,ropes are untied,
wheels are falling. the junkyard crew of pokemon ran out and helped pikachu,houndour and the pichu brothers.
and when pikachu gets home,ash prepares a special food party for
a occasion for the day we first became friends.

The most elaborate of the features to date,
Pokémon 3: The Movie, Spell of the Unown introduces new Pokémon that debuted in the fall of 2000 in the Gold- and Silver-edition Gameboy games. En route to the Johto Tournament, Ash, Brock, and Misty visit the mountain village of Greenfield, where they encounter an 8-year-old girl named Molly. Her father, Professor Spencer Hale, disappeared when he set off to study the Unown, a group of 26 Pokémon that resemble letters. The Unown build a baroque crystalline shell around Molly's palatial home, send the leonine Entei to watch over her, and grant whatever she wishes--except the return of her father. What Molly really wants is a family: she refers to Entei as her father and has him kidnap Ash's mom to be her mother. Ash charges to the rescue with the help of Pikachu, Charizard, and Cyndaquil. In the climactic battle, Ash is joined by Brock and Misty, as well as the usually villainous Team Rocket. ("We figure if we don't help you, we're outta showbiz," Meowth explains.) Molly's father eventually reappears, but the viewer never sees the reunion with his daughter. Ash, Molly, and the other two-dimensional characters simply don't fit into three-dimensional, computer-generated crystal settings, and large sections of
Pokémon 3 look like two movies unsuccessfully spliced together. A short is also included, "Pikachu and Pichu," in which the popular electric Pokémon wanders through a big city, getting into mischief with the mouselike Pichu brothers.

Tripped Out Delight 2006-03-15
It's sad to admit, but as an avid Pokemaniac, I've seen all the Pokemon movies released to the present time, and own the majority of them. With that in mind, I can honestly state that this is the finest cinematic piece associated with the Pokemon name, and remains one of my favorite animated films.
In terms of plot, this film has one which is quite rich compared to the rest of it's contemporaries. A flock of psychic Pokemon named the Unown are able to take the thoughts and wishes of a little girl named Molly, and render them into reality. It sort of parallels that famous Twilight Zone episode in which a little boy can use his omnipotent powers to terrorize his family, however, with Pokemon being aimed at children, it isn't quite so sinister in its delivery.
The animation of this movie is very lush. The landscapes are extremely well done, and certainly stand out as one of the film's major highlights. The self-induced surreal world in which Molly inhabits is glassy, effervescently crystalline, very hallucinogenic. In one segment of the film, Ash (in attempts to rescue his kidnaped mom), runs up a set of stairs, suspended in a green void, with stagnant orbs floating above and underneath him. Most enjoyable.
The battles in this film are enthralling as well. In one of them films many strange sequences, Misty battles Molly literally underwater, although both are able to breathe without drowning. Brock's battle with Molly in an imaginary meadow of flowers follows. And the climactic fiery slugfest between Charizard and Entai is one of Pokemon's high points.
It's a shame that Pokemon 3 was released at a time when Pokemania was in sharp decline, being that this movie really is superior to it's two predecessors (as well as all films which followed for that matter). Recommended for fans of animated films. A must for Pokemon fans.
Nine Pokemon movies, and this one is still my fave 2006-01-22
Although the Japanese version of Mewtwo strikes back gives it a run for its movie, Spell of the Unown really is the best of the Pokemon movies in my opinion. It was the last theatrically released PokeMovie that people actually saw in theaters (4 and 5 were hard to track down, even if you lived near tons of cimemas), it wasn't used as a giant advertising board for pop stars like the first movie, and it wasn't edited as badly as the first two.
I won't give away the plot, but I will say this: the movie leaves a lot unsaid, which is one of the reasons I love it. For one thing, am I the only one who thinks that Entei was NOT just an illusion? Number one, it's shown through the fact that the Unown made Entei take Ash's mom to serve as Molly's mother, that they couldn't just create one. The Unown can alter reality, but it doesn't make sense that they could create an entire thinking, feeling soul. Did you know that (in the dub version anyway) Entei and Molly's father are voiced by the same person? Also, the parting words Entei says to Molly before he goes are the same as her father's. This may sound crazy, but I think that while Spencer Hale's body was floating through the Unown dimension, his mind was within Entei, only he didn't know it, he knew only that he must serve Molly. Sounds crazy, but makes sense, no?
There's also the mystery concerning her mother and how she reappeared later (in the credits) after the Unown mess had finally been solved. Remember the line where Molly's father says , "I've been looking for [Unown] ever since...for a long time." The commentary on the DVD suggests that Molly's mother may also have disappeared while studying the Unown.
It's got nice action and some great battles, it doesn't involve Ash saving the world, it has a simple yet deep message, oh yeah, and I LOVE the score. I don't know if it's the same as the Japanese version, but even if it isn't, I love it.
A great movie overall.
Three times the battle 2005-11-02
In this movie we are introduced to some new pokemon. Unknown black pokemon who look like letters. Enti and leader fire dog pokemon.

Cahrizard no total loyal flies ash to the top Where they do battle with Entie. Charizard is pined to the ground by Entes foot. Just as Ente's fixing to kill Charizard. Molly now tired of the violence comes to ente in tears begin him to spare charizard. Then unknown who had been harvesting it's power from Molly imagination unleash to much power and lose control. It all leads up to the dramatic battle between Entie and the unknowns. With unknow defeated Emily father is freed and returns home. Unfortunately the reunion of emily and here father is not shown.
