Amazon.co.uk Review
The most elaborate of the features to date, Pokémon 3: Spell of the Unown introduces new Pokémon that debuted in the fall of 2000 in the Gold and Silver-edition Game Boy 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 mum 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 films unsuccessfully spliced together. --Charles Solomon, Amazon.com.

Synopsis
POKEMON 3: THE MOVIE, the third full-length animated feature based on the popular Japanese cartoon series (adapted for American audiences by producer Norman Grossfeld and director Michael Haigney) presents an intriguing blend of fast-paced adventure and fantasy. Young Pokemon trainer Ash and his traveling companions arrive at the idyllic town of Greenfield, where they encounter five-year-old Molly, a lonely little girl whose parents have disappeared into another dimension inhabited by the Unown. These cryptic hieroglyphic-shaped Pokemon are able to read the minds of humans and make their dreams become reality. With the help of the Unown, Molly's overactive imagination has spawned a bizarre dream world complete with a crystal tower of gigantic proportions and a mighty guardian Pokemon to do her bidding. After fighting their way inside Molly's refuge, Ash's loyal Pokemon pals and the Unown finally clash in a splashy computer-enhanced showdown.
As in the first and second Pokemon movie installments, an animated short precedes the main feature: In PIKACHU AND PICHU, everyone's favorite yellow electric Pokemon encounters the playful Pichu brothers during a trip to the big city, along with a host of colorful new Pokemon first introduced in Pokemon Gold and Silver for the Nintendo Game Boy.

Pokemon 3: Another Journey for Ash and Pals.
Overall looking from a movie point of view, it's not bad at all. As a fan of Pokemon i like watching the series, the movies and playing the games. I like the way the movie was produced and done. I like the visual effects, which some say may not work. But i think overall it's a nice family film, and i can't see a Pokemon fan being disappointed. But great to check out!

Pokémon 3: The Best Yet
Pokémon 3 is on Home Video, what can I say? If you enjoyed the action packed movie on the big screen, then take it home on VHS! You have all the cuteness of the Mini-Movie, Pikachu and Pichu, and all the action in the full length feature, The Spell Of The Unown! I recommend this to any Pokémon fan who wants the battle of Entei and Charizard to watch at their leisure!

POKéMON 3: THE BEST POKéMON MOVIE YET!!!!
As i am a teenage pokémon fan i think that this pokémon movie is the best yet!, the short movie pikachu and pichu is good and quite funny as well, and the main pokémon movie the spell of the unknown is execellent!!!, i recommend that all pokémon fans of all ages should buy this best pokémon movie ever made so far!!!!
