Also, the main villain wasn't really all that memorable. There were some pretty stupid scenes in the film here and there, though thankfully they are mostly confined to the first half. The film is also complimented nicely by impressive animation and CGI and a great musical score. The action scenes are an absolute blast and probably some of the most exciting the "Pokémon" films have had in a while. It has interesting new variations on themes used before in the series that managed to keep my attention. Similar to the "Victini" movies, this film doesn't really break any new ground but somehow manages to make things feel fresh. His relationship with Magearna surprisingly was quite interesting and felt very real. While I was a bit annoyed at him at first with how he had the typical "disdain for humanity" personality, he got to be a much more likeable and engaging character as the movie progressed. Volcanion was one of the better legendary Pokémon in a while. Not only is it the best X&Y film, I would even say that it is the best "Pokémon" film in around a decade. "Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction" was mediocre and "Hoopa and the Clash of Ages" was the worst "Pokémon" film yet. I came into this one ready to hate it, considering that the "Pokémon" films from the X&Y saga hadn't been exactly stellar.
