Not worthy of the series........2007-05-03

Let's make this simple.

Pros - The action is anywhere from decent to good throughout.

Cons - Yu Yu Hakusho is the only Anime I watch in English (the TV series' english voice acting is fantastic). Do not watch this in English, the voices are not the ones heard on the show and the voice acting is BAD.

The animation of characters is fine but all the backgrounds and settings are simple and bland (lazy animators, I guess...)

First off, the story has nothing to do with a poltergeist... Second, it is standard (Evil wants to kill stuff, that's bad, Yusuke kills evil, the end). Nothing special or particulaly interesting. It also defies logic even in Yu Yu's universe. They heroes are pummled in the first half of the movie and then somehow don't have too much trouble defeating the enemies the second time around.

HUGE CON - The clever writing and humor that in part makes this series so great is completely missing! Every character is a freakin' stoic.

P.S. Kaeko looks like a 80s girl, that bothered me too, lol.

Conclusion - Ignore this peice of crap movie and just watch the amazing series.

It's an okay movie........2006-11-21

The problem is that nothing "Yu Yu Hakusho" should just be okay. This is the only Yu Yu Hakusho thing that I would give a rating to that is less than a four. It is more like a direct to video episode than a movie.

Like most people said, there is no humor, though the action is good. I didn't like the story a whole lot. Though people have said that this takes place between the Holy Beats part and the Rescue Yukina part, I wouldn't say that this is part of the actual storyline. About all of the Yu Yu Hakusho episodes were better than this. Sure, I was entertained by this and am glad that I did see it, but I would hope for alot more out of Yu Yu Hakusho.

YuYu movie rocks the party that rocks the body!.......2006-09-04

This is a great yuyu flick... don't listen to other reviewers. Great action and cool characters. It is missing the humor element of the series but the action makes up for it. The dubbing made one mistake by calling kuwabara, kuwahara. I highly reccomend both this movie and the ENTIRE series. Famous quote from the movie: "GET AWAY FROM THEEEEERRREEE!!!" - Yusuke Urameshi

Yu Yu Hakusho Fans Beware.......2006-06-30

Well, let me start by saying this movie at alot of potential. The idea behind it gave a chance to bring back Yuske following the end of the series for one more adventure, but oh boy did they blow it.

The story is simple, long ago there was an alternate world, the Netherworld that was for Demon World what Spiritworld is for the human world. The Netherworld was defeated and cast away and has now returned.

I liked the concept, I really did. It gave the option of introducing characters that could challenge the gang post Three Kings Saga. That said... well the problems were endless.

For starters, the group that did the english dubing was not the same group that did the dubing for the tv series, and as a result fans of the series might have problems adjusting to the voice changes. If that was the only issue with the dubing it would be ok, but its not. The voices all sound the same, bland and uninspired. There is no emotion in ANY of the characters lines.

The next issue is the power levels of the character. The Movie was hyped up as post Three Kings, but Yuske apparently has lost most if not all of his power. Infact the only character that dispalys a reasonable amount of ability in the movie is Hiei.

Finally, though the concept for the movie was good, the implimation of the concept was as poor as I have ever seen in a movie. The characters had to race to sites of spirit energy and battle over them. How every original. Honestly I would have prefered a 90 minute slugfest to the garbage plot that was used.

In closing, beware this movie. If your a Die hard fan you might buy it, but otherwise its not worth 2 cents.

OK Anime/Yu Yu Hakusho Flick.......2006-02-25

The animation and action in the Poltergeist Report is excellent. What is lacking is real emotion and humor. There are a couple of laughs, with Kuwabara as comic relief. Even George, Koenma's hapless demon flunky, only has a couple of warning lines. But the usual banter between Yusuke and Botan, or Yusuke and Genkai is non-existent. The characters of Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, Genkai, Koenma, and Kurama act like wooden actors from a Hong Kong martial arts '70's film with a formulaic plot of heroes bent on revenge. Botan is a helpless female the whole time.

The music is poor. Sound effects feel off. The story is about Yakumo, the king of the netherworld, who wants to take over both the spirit world and the human world. A little miko from the spiritual world with the world's biggest and most annoying cowlick alternately tries to help, but mostly gets in the way.

Oh, God, the English voices are HORRIBLE! The movie was released by a different company that released the Yu Yu Hakusho series. Not only are the voices different, the acting has no heart.

Originally titled Fight for the Netherworld, this 1994 feature is the second theatrical release based on the 1992 TV series. Viewers unfamiliar with the series may have trouble following the story, as the filmmakers don't introduce the characters or situations adequately. When the River Styx floods the Spirit World, Koenma entrusts a Sphere of Power to Botan; she tries to take it to "spirit investigator" Yusuke. Yakumo, the former King of the Nether World, returns from exile in space to obtain the Sphere: its power will enable him to reestablish his vanished realm on Earth. After initial fights at five sites in Tokyo between Yusuke and his friends and Yakumo's agents, the conflict climaxes with the inevitable duel between Yusuke and Yakumo. The animation is quite lavish by anime standards, but it's wasted on a threadbare story and hackneyed dialogue. Rated 16 Up: Considerable violence, grotesque imagery, minor profanity. --Charles Solomon

This is just terrible.......2007-02-07

I cant even watch this movie. I love yu yu hakusho but the bad voice acting kills me. I tried watching this movie I really did...about 25 min of it and I felt like I was going do die. Maybe one day before I die I might watch this of if somehow my cable goes out and someone takes all of tmy dvds but this one I will try to watch it again. I am very dissapointed. I am sure it's a great movie and all dont get me wrong I just cant seem to watch it

Good, but disappointing.......2006-08-08

I am a fan of Yu Yu Hakusho, the dubbed version. As a fan of the English dubbed series, this movie had its disappointing aspects. None of the voices were the same as in the English series, and the English dialog seems awful "cheesy" and not up to the English dub's normal standards. So if you plan on buying, you should know this.

POWERFULLY COOL HIGH BUDGET OLD SCHOOL ACTION-PACKED Anime!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-02-25

A COOL FANTASY ACTION THAT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe not FAST as Dragon Ball but is SOO HIGH BUDGET!!! I mean... The animation is SUPERB ***** (the moves, destruction and fights were very realistic), the character desing is soo COLORFUL (just as seen in the cover), the graphics are pretty realistic, GOOD story but very simple, bad english dub but not THAT bad, COOL song at the ending credits and the camera moves were AWESOME!!

I said that this anime is like Dragon Ball because there are to many "HADUKENS", jumps that make look like the characters are flying and the story about the bad guy that want the ultimate power to conquer the wolrd but the good guys also can have the ulmate power to protect the world. But this anime is not THAT similar to Dragon Ball.

I like the concept of the characters... I mean... each character have a diferent power, one with a cool spirit sword, other with a power whip, other with "haduken" and the last one with the control of a giant power dragon!!! obiously this anime concentrate more on the action and not much with the story.

I never saw the serie, so I don't care what people say about the comparison to the serie.

P.S: This anime is like PG-13 style or a Saturday Morning Cartoon but don't worry!! you will be SOOO entertained that you won't care.

Adios.

Bonds of Fire.......2005-11-03

Bonds of Fire is the title of this amazing anime movie in Japan. Not sure where Amazon got "Fight for the NetherWorld." oh well... Anyways, this is the best anime feature I've seen. The voice actors are different than the series, however they still sound good. Plus some even sound simialar or close to identical to the series voice actors. The music is great, some reminds me of Castlevania: Symphonany of the Night. Action is top notch. The story and characters will leave you breathless. Whether you are new to the YuYuHakusho (YYH) series or a current fan, Poltergeist Report is a must have for any anime fan.

Not a bad story but were are voive actors of the Yu Yu hakusho series.......2005-09-17

This was not very bad. It kept me somewhat interested with the story line. The dialogue was okay but there was very little comedy relief in the film. It also was not graphic violently as I has expected. The fight scenes in the film were great. Although it may seem that I am downing this movie I am not. Different people voice the characters in this movie to me thats just not the same.
