how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 37 comments (37 from Metacritic) — 6 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 6 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews — the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
“The Japanese animation is beautiful, and the script adaptation for the English-speaking audience is well-paced, clever, and absorbing enough to keep parents from squirming.”
Besty Sherman, Boston Globe · 75
“The favorable three-star rating I'm giving the animated Pokémon: The First Movie is based at least partly on the fact that I expected to dislike it and didn't.”
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News · 75
“By the time the fighting between clones and their originals turned to fraternal bonding, I was quite moved, even blissed out.”
Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader · 70
“The film is obviously a long-form episode of a show better digested in 22-minute segments.”
Wesley Morris, San Francisco Examiner · 63
“What a mere adult reviewer has to say about this 70-minute film is probably irrelevant. Pokémon fans will see it -- and love it -- regardless.”
Christine Dolen, Miami Herald · 63
Scores from Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, read 24 Aug 2026. Quotes belong to their publications and link to the full reviews.
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
