A much more intense action vehicle for hero Ash Ketchum and his band of pocket monster trainers than its leaden, sometimes claustrophobic predecessor.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Has neither drama or comedy ... or a decent story.
Slightly better than a poke in the eye.
The absence of a compelling villain translates into an absence of excitement.
One can almost hear a droning noise.
