Well, I watched this movie when I was lucky enough to find a subtitled Japanese version. Much to my disgust, the subtitles SUCKED!!! Well, what I drew from the movie overall was this:
1. It was pretty good, like an hour and a half-long episode of Yu Yu Hakusho.
2. The violence was kicked up a little from the FUNimation editted version I was used to.
3. I really, really needed to either a. learn Japanese or b. get a better movie
But when I saw Poltergeist Report in Blockbuster, I read a review on Amazon before I rented. Turns out the producer decided the American dub-cast from the series wasn't good enough so they got a new cast. If I could quote from Ronska's title the dubbed voices were "mediocracy at it's best".
Yet another little thing I didn't like was they took the funny bits we'd get from relationship errors or maybe just Kuwabara doing something stupid. There was no Keiko/Yusuke fights. In fact, you only had two scene with Keiko: one where she's taking care of Boton, the other, she's only there for the villian to hurt and have Yusuke get pissed.
Overall, not as good as the series, missing the funny bits, (but I must admit when Kuwabara hears that Yukina is at Genkei's place he looks and sounds funny!) and PLEASE watch subtitled.
