Action Level: 3/5
Ash & his Pokemon and Lugia battling Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos to retrieve the treasure was pretty action-packed.  It's interesting that attacks from powerful Pokemon like Moltres and Zapdos can be countered easily with attacks from Charizard and Pikachu.

Romance Level: 3/5
Although she doesn't come out and say it, Misty reveals how she really feels about Ash (but even the novice can recognize that).  It was kind of cute the way she scowled when Melody gave Ash that kiss.

Comedy Level: 3/5
Team Rocket's humor was toned down but not a whole lot funnier.

Adult Level: 2/5
Apparently, "Adult" in this case means any sort of romantic relationship.  Plus the fact that Ash nearly dies at the end makes for a not-so-childish piece.

Drama Level: 4/5
Unlike the bravado he displays at the beginning, Ash is reluctant about fufilling the prophecy, especially considering all that's on the line.  Believe it or not, it's a common characteristic that all heroes are reluctant in fufilling their destinies.

Overall Level: 4/5
An upgrade from the first movie.  Too bad not all the Pokemon movies were this well-done.
