 "Well, it does go on forever."
-- Jay Boyar, ORLANDO SENTINEL
 "Your children will be occupied for 72 minutes."
-- Liz Braun, JAM! MOVIES
"Children and adults enamored of all things Pokemon won't be disappointed."
-- Angel Cohn, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"77 minutes of Pokemon may not last 4ever, it just seems like it does. My only wish is that Celebi could take me back to a time before I saw this movie and I could just skip it."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM
"Without a fresh infusion of creativity, 4Ever is neither a promise nor a threat so much as wishful thinking."
-- Christine James, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"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
"A long slog for anyone but the most committed Pokemon fan."
-- Nell Minow, MOVIE MOM
"The fourth in a series that I'll bet most parents had thought --hoped! -- was a fad that had long since vanished."
-- Steve Rhodes, STEVE RHODES' INTERNET REVIEWS
"Just another combination of bad animation and mindless violence...lacking the slightest bit of wit or charm."
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION
"About the cleverest thing the film has to offer is its title, and since that's not really that ingenious, you can imagine the quality of the rest of what's present."

Avg. Rating: 3.3/10 |
"What kids will discover is a new collectible. What parents will suspect is that they're watching a 76-minute commercial."
-- John Anderson, NEWSDAY
"Yes, 4Ever is harmless in the extreme and it'll mute your kids for nearly 80 minutes, but why not just treat the little yard apes to the real deal and take them to Spirited Away?"
-- Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE
"If you're not into the Pokemon franchise, this fourth animated movie in four years won't convert you -- or even keep your eyes open. But fans should have fun meeting a brand-new Pokemon called Celebi."
-- Nancy Churnin, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"An improvement on the feeble examples of big-screen Poke-mania that have preceded it."
-- Robert Denerstein, DENVER ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS
"When it comes to entertainment, children deserve better than Pokemon 4Ever."
-- Lawrence Van Gelder, NEW YORK TIMES
"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
"The latest installment in the Pokemon canon, Pokemon 4ever is surprising less moldy and trite than the last two, likely because much of the Japanese anime is set in a scenic forest where Pokemon graze in peace."
-- Loren King, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"Supposedly, Pokemon can't be killed, but Pokemon 4Ever practically assures that the pocket monster movie franchise is nearly ready to keel over."
-- Robert Koehler, VARIETY
"Parents beware; this is downright movie penance."
-- John Monaghan, DETROIT FREE PRESS
"At best this is a film for the under-7 crowd. But it would be better to wait for the video. And a very rainy day."
-- C.W. Nevius, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"Its save-the-planet message clashes with its crass marketing."
-- Michael O'Sullivan, WASHINGTON POST
"Makes for some truly odd, at times confusing, kids entertainment ... but at least this time there's some centered storytelling to go along with all the weird stuff."
-- Michael Rechtshaffen, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"A rote exercise in both animation and storytelling."
-- Megan Turner, NEW YORK POST
