From A Collector

I'm an avid DVD collector who loves collecting series. I got "The Rise of Darkrai" because one of the series I collect is Pokemon. Both the movies and the series (in order up to Orange Islands now). This DVD is welcome being that it is a movie. There is no special features. I am entirely grateful for it. However, I dislike the fact that I'm forced to sit through a Mystery Dungeon preview every time I put the disc in. I can't skip it. No fast forward, no rewind, no chapter ahead, nothing, you have to sit through it. Kinda cruel considering there are no special features. It makes me think they release this DVD just to market Mystery Dungeon.

EDIT: I think it's funny that during the end credits when they are giving the music credits, they spell Darkrai wrong.

It's ok, but VIZ and PUSA still need to work harder

There is some good news and some bad news with this DVD. First off, it's a 1.85:1 Widescreen presentation, video is nice and clear. Comes with a 5.1 Dolby Digital (if I recall correctly) track as well as normal stereo. English and Spanish subtitles. That's the good news. Ok, on to the bad news. For the folks looking for the Japanese audio track, DO NOT PURCHASE as it doesn't have one. Kinda disappointing. There are also no special features on the disc, none at all. Is a preview of Movie 11, or a commentary track to much to ask for. Seriously, the only real reason I bought this is because I love Pokémon so much. The widescreen is a plus, but the lack of special features, commentary, and a japanese audio track kinda defeats the purpose of it being on DVD. I'm still hoping for the day when VIZ and PUSA (Pokémon USA Inc. for those you don't know) announce/release remastered special editions of all the movies and an uncut (that means all the banned episode included too lol), remastered version of the show. Seriously it's time they started treating this series with some love. I know Pokémon is still marketed mainly towards kids, but what about us 20-somethings that watched this show from the very beginning. Anyway hope this review helped and sorry it kinda turned into a mini rant. :D

Movie is fun...but no extras whatsoever.

I was disappointed with the DVD (I have bought every pokemon movie so far for my 8-year old son)

Usually, this dvds come loaded with extras, as short movies, more content, etc. but in this case ONLY THE MOVIE...not even Japanese Language (I like the original voices).
