Favorite Gen 5 movie? Here’s where the movies start getting very mixed for me.

Movie Connoisseur time!
Notes beforehand: Currently moving onto BW131 (counting the unaired episodes). It was such a blast to watch the Pokémon anime WITHOUT Team Rocket showing up all the time. My god, what a difference. Really loving BW and sad I'm almost done. Especially since I have a feeling I'm not going to like XY very much. I mean, it's already a bad omen that it's VERY low on my list of favorite main series Pokémon games in the first place.
#3 Counted as 1: Mewtwo Prologue + Genesect and the Legend Awakened
Mewtwo Prologue First the Mewtwo special since it's directly connected to the movie. Didn't really add much. The old Mewtwo special, "Mewtwo's Origin" was WAAAY better than this. It got to the point and didn't add anything unnecessary. Do I really want to see what Virgil's up to? No, I really, really don't. Otherwise, it's basically a repeat of the old Mewtwo special, only you get less information on this Mewtwo's origin. The old Mewtwo was traumatized by what it went through. This one seems to have accepted it all immediately. Genesect and the Legend Awakened New Tonk City. lol I really can't believe they didn't mention anything about the Mega Mewtwo Y form...? It's just kinda there. Very slow going movie. Wonder if we'll ever see the original Genesect without the weapon attached. There wasn't much to the movie's plot other than fighting for no reason.
#2 White/Black - Victini and Zekrom/Reshiram
All these years I've wondered why there was two movies here. Are they straight up 2 different movies? What could be different? Is there a certain part where it splits into a different movie entirely? ...Or the worst possible outcome and the one that it ended up being, leaving a bad taste in my mouth... Different "versions" of the movie like how there's different "versions" of the games... What were they thinking?
Really enjoyed the opening with the music. That first BW JPOP is rough... The animation, I mean. It's really boring to watch. I love the song itself though, and was happy this movie gave that song something nice animation-wise.
#1 Kyurem vs the Sword of Justice
I liked everyone here. I liked Keldeo more as a character than either Victini, Mewtwo or the Genesect from the other movies. The Swords of Justice Pokémon were a bit trope-ish, but that's fine. Cool chase scene in the middle. At least they set-up why Keldeo wanted to fight Kyurem and it wasn't just because they wanted to show off some legendaries by having them fight.
I enjoyed this one. It was honestly a hard choice between this and White/Black. Ask me another day and I'd probably choose the other as the better movie. In fact, I switched their places after writing all this up.
Movies in order of least to most favorite:
16 Genesect and the Legend Awakened
14 White/Black - Victini and Zekrom/Reshiram
15 Kyurem vs the Sword of Justice
Movie Manga in order of least to most favorite:3. White - Victini and Zekrom by Momota Inoue (localized) 2. Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice by Momota Inoue (localized) 1. Genesect and the Legend Awakened by Momota Inoue (localized)
Flipped around with the manga? I guess the Genesect story was a better read than watch. That and there were a few minor differences that I enjoyed more.

need a break from that. I cannot express how much more I appreciate fan-translations of anything now
