Reviews
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Logan Jones Digimon the movie consist of four parts. The Angela Anaconda segment, the part in which they are young (pre-season one), four years ago (season one), and present day. Considering it's the first part of the movie, I'll start with the Angela Anaconda part. It's easily the worst part of this entire movie. Bad story, bad animation, bad characters, just bad. Then, to section us in from the end of Angela Anaconda to the start of digimon, we get a catchy song with the credits. I always liked this song and learned every word. Now, on to the Pre-Season One segment. This part shows the digidestined as little kids. There really is no point to this scene, but it's still one of the best parts of the movie. We see a digiegg go through every stage, from Botamon to Greymon. There are some good lines I this part that are funny every time. There is also a cool fight seen with Greymon and Parrotmon. Tai wakes him up with Kari's whistle, which is referenced later, albeit to a different WarGreymon. The next part of the movie is the Season One segment, which is the best part. A virus-infected digiegg hatches online and threatens all technology. This whole part is cool. It's got action, drama, comedy, and Omnimon. Tai's mom is the base of a lot of good jokes, and the cat does some funny stuff too. The Diaboromon clone fight is cool and I can watch it over and over. The final part is the Season Two part is the second worst part. Not to say it's bad, but it's not as good as the other parts (except Angela Anaconda). We see Terriermon and Kokomon and the inner struggle between Willis and the fact he has to destroy he own digimon. A lot more fight scenes in this part, but not as charming of characters. The highlights of this part are Yolei and Terriermon. Overall, I'd recommend this to people who watch the show, but other people not like it as much. I have literally watched this movie 4 times this week. That should put it in perspective.
TheLittleSongbird Digimon:The Movie was one of those movies, that I thought I wasn't going to enjoy. Anyway, I watched it with low expectations, and it was better than I expected it to be. Maybe the pivotal factors of my fear that it wasn't going to be good, is because I am not a huge fan of the TV show, and that I did not like Pokemon:The First Movie. I did enjoy most of it, but it is mediocre as a film. The animation is mostly good, and true to the show, and the voice talents on the whole were dynamic and expressive, and aided by some good dialogue. The characters are likable,even the villains were adequate, and there are one or two thrilling action sequences. Sadly, there are some factors that let it down. I am still not receptive to the title song, and whereas the film starts off fine, the last 20 minutes are rushed, and are highly suggestive of two or three episodes thrown together. There were also some parts in the story that were underdeveloped. While mediocre, Digimon certainly isn't a terrible movie, it just isn't a great one either. 5/10 Bethany Cox.
brmuffinremix I watched the Digimon Movie when I was a kid and loved it. I watched it a couple days ago and loved it...Except for the second half. What the hell was wrong with the second half? The movie was all dramatic and epic about a deadly virus and the end of the world and the 'ultimate Digimon' but then it went to complete crap of 7 pussy Digimon saying puns while fighting a stupid looking monkey Digimon with guns on its chest. And a stupid big oaf and a blonde boy dancing to the overly used 'All-Star' song by Smash Mouth.But I give it a 9 for the amazing first half. You can tell that the first and second half must have been written by different people, for the first half seems to be intense and interesting. Unlike the second half.I'm going to pretend the last 30 minutes of this movie never existed.
Jenna (hayden-panettiere-ukfan) Well I have to admit, when I watched the movie in 2000 (when I was 11), I was obsessed with it. But since I've aged I've come to decide that this movie is pretty poor. I think it was slightly tacky and unfair to Americans and other non-Japanese speaking companies that they had to wait for all 3 Japanese movies to be released before this film was made. I also think compacting 3 movies together confused a little, and people could easily get confused. 3 very similar story lines in one film can cause utter confusion.I think it's better than the Pokemon movies though, because the storyline has more depth to it, and the voice actors are of a higher standard, and less "whiney" than in Pokemon.In conclusion, I think the film could've been a lot better, though I may be biased as it is not for my age group anymore.
