If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I haven't really watched Sailor Moon more than a couple of episodes, I checked out this movie to see what it's about because apparently it's one of the best things that came out of the franchise.It's great.It starts in the middle but having seen the first episode of 'Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon' I already knew the gist of the thing so it wasn't hard to follow, and the movie actually introduces us to characters that I surmise are already familiar to those who saw the entire series. Very helpful.Ikuhara likes his homosexual overtones, and here it's guy-on-guy more than girl-on-girl. Mamoru-kun alias Tuxedo Mask meets a mysterious man from the past who claims ownership to his heart, much to the chagrin of Usagi alias Sailor Moon. Turns out the man Fiore is an alien from outer space and plans to destroy the earth with an ocean of pink flowers - or is he being manipulated by the flower itself? There's some surreal, fantastical imagery. The final fight takes place in space. The one flaw of the movie is that it's so short.

Sailor Moon, in total, is 200 episodes, three movies, and two TV specials (excluding the live stage shows and such). In any series that I enjoy that is that extravagant, I tend to have a hard time picking out what is truly the best showing. This is not one of those cases, as Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon R is easily the best showing of the entire Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon series.The storyline is downright awesome, as die-hard fans finally get some insight into Mamoru's (Darien's) past and what he went through as a child. Also nice is that the villain isn't truly evil, just a lonely being whose feelings have been manipulated towards evil.The animation is excellent. Every movement flows nicely, as is usually expected of anime movies. Also great is the music. Aside from the original background music, every Sailor Soldier gets her own transformation music, and Sailor Moon's is punched up a bit. All of this great music is capped off by the theme of the movie, Moon Revenge, a song sung by the five Soldiers.For anyone who questions whether Sailor Moon is worth watching, I suggest you see this movie first, as it is the best showing and most representative of the series.

In my opinion, this is the best of the three Sailor Moon movies. However, if you're a true Sailor Moon otaku then watch the Japanese version with subtitles. The English dub is filled with mistakes in attack names, translation errors to protect America's "sensitive children", the bad American voice actors, and the list goes on. They also replaced the movie's trademark song "Moon Revenge" with a cheesy, watered down teeny bopper song called "The Power of Love."Overall, the uncut movie has an engrossing plot that shows how Sailor Moon has matured both as a character and a phenomenon from the first season. The film has something for everyone in it: romance, drama, comedy, and hooks for both young and old anime fans alike. The music is infectiously catching, and they actually pulled off making ChibiUsa likeable.If you want a good Sailor Moon movie that will keep you hooked then go for this one. Rent it, buy it...just make sure you watch it!

This is definitely one of the better movies. The moments are so touching, and you get a real look at the relationships all the characters have, particularly between Usagi and Mamoru. The animation is good and the story line is great. A must for all die-hards and then some (particularly those who do not favor the Usagi and Mamoru relationship).
