Rating:  - don't know what people see in it
I've been told by several of my friends that this is an excellent movie, well i saw 2 seasons and hated them,but i was told that this was different. It wasn't, it was the same old washed up storylines and poor writing. Sailor Moon isn't a quality anime, it has neither the interesting charachters and interactions that have kept Inuyasha from falling into the 2 or 3 star range, nor the brilliant writing that make Fullmetal Alchemist and Cowboy Bebop some of the best examples of modern anime. skip this, theres nothing remarkable here.
Rating:  - a very touching tale of love
Sailor Moon R the movie is by far the BEST Sailor Moon movie out of the three! SuperS was good, S ok, but R is fantastic!! It describes in the movie how Usagi and Mamoru met, and why precisely Tuxedo Mask throws those wonderful roses.
Usagi and her friends are enjoying a day at the local greenhouse when all of a sudden a strange man appears and seems to know Mamoru. Usagi seems very freaked out by their encounter and keeps thinking about it. The next day, Usagi and her fellow senshi find dozens of people laying on the streets--their energy sucked dry. The cause of the energy drain? A monsterous flower of course. After fighting and defeating it Fiore (the strange man) appears and he's not alone! The Kisenian blossom is what is behind it all. After attacking her fellow senshi and eventually accidentally wounding Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Moon and her friends must travel to the base of the enemy to save Mamoru and the earth!
I loved this movie and can watch it over and over again (and quote from it). We see great love and a true friend in Usagi as she has to fight her battles.
I first saw the movie in the edited English dubbed version and then saw it subbed many years later. This DVD however contains the UNCUT dubbed and subbed versions. The dubbing however is the same as the edited version but the uncut dub includes several scenes that were not in the edited version. I reccommend watching it in the subbed version of course (like all anime is suppose to be watched! :-D) I love the original voices and feel that the original voice-actor/actress gives real emotion to his/her part which the English-dubb fails to do. That is only my opinion though.
All in all it is a GREAT movie and a great DVD to have for any Sailor Moon fan!
Rating: - Sailor Moon R Rocked!!!
I am a supper fan of Sailor Moon, and have seen every show, own all the manga, and have watched all three movies. Out of them all, my favorite has been Sailor Moon R. I have only seen the English version, and though I don't know what people are talking about when they say how horrible it is, I do understand that parents in America may not approve of some of the things they show in Japan. I thought that the storyline was good even though it suggested slight homosexuality. At first I did not even realise that was what they were talking about, I just thought that Feorie(sorry if I spelled it wrong)was a lonly person and that his only friend had been Darian(Mamaru). The ending was spectacular, I watched that part so many times that I have the song in it memorised. If you are thinking of buying it, do so! I recomend that you don't show it to younger kids, some parts are for mature kids only!
Rating: - Loving
I love this film. The floral-sluts were cool. Yeah this film does show that Tux may be bi-sexual or even homosexual. It thought it was fine! This film is made of homoeroticsm, so kids watch with a parent!
This is my favorite!
Rating: - Amazing----In Japanese, At Least
-PLOT-
As the Moon Princess's reincarnation, Tsukino Usagi has a beautiful transformation that makes her become the Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon (Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon). With the help of her friends, Mizuno Ami/Sailor Mercury, Hino Rei/Sailor Mars, Kino Makoto/Sailor Jupiter, and Aino Minako/Sailorvenus (each the reincarnation of the princess of their respective planet), and her true love Chiba Mamoru/Tuxedo Kamen, she has succeeding in saving Japan---and the world---many times. This movie has her facing a new alien threat: Fiore and the Kisenian Flower. It appears that Fiore is Mamoru's childhood friend, and the Kisenian has taken control of Fiore's feelings toward Mamoru, twisting them into a possesive jealousy. Fiore even goes so far as to take an injured Tuxedo Kamen with him to his headquarters, an asteroid covered in flowers which hold a dark power. Of course, Sailor Moon and her senshi go to the rescue, but with Fiore and Kisenian testing their love for each other to an ultimate extreme, can they save Tuxedo Kamen---and themselves?
-PROS-
-Each Sailormoon movie is a stand-alone adventure (they were released theatrically in Japan), so you don't have to worry about not knowing any of the characters or plot.
-This movie has an awesome climax, which in my opinion is the best "final battle" scene of all three movies.
-Usagi and Mamoru's love shines in this movie (the R in the title stands for Romance, after all)
-Fiore was probably the best villain in all of the movies.
-The dialouge is funny, sharp, and witty (at least in the Japanese version).
-This is my favorite movie of the 3 Sailormoon movies. Awesome music + awesome characters + awesome plot = one a$$ kickin' flick.
-CONS-
-Well, in the Japanese version, there aren't any to speak of, but the English version is GODAWFUL. If you have any taste you will watch this movie with Japanese audio and English subtitles.
-This is the uncut version. That means (very brief) nudity. Of course, the nudity is feauture-less (check out the screen shots from SMuncensored.com to see what I mean), but nonetheless you should be warned. The nudity is not implied sexually at all, but more to suggest purity, so it's not hentai. I would suggest the uncut version over the dubbed version anyday, because the dubbing company (Optimum/Cloverway in the movies' case) butchered this beautiful anime to bloody bits and pieces.
Any Sailor Moon fan should have this movie, and even if you're not, you should give it a try nonetheless. Ja ne!
