Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
A rote exercise in both animation and storytelling.
Megan Turner, New York Post
Rotten
An improvement on the feeble examples of big-screen Poke-mania that have preceded it.
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
Rotten
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.
Daphne Gordon, Toronto Star
Rotten
4Ever has the same sledgehammer appeal as Pokemon videos, but it breathes more on the big screen and induces headaches more slowly.
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
