... View MoreThis film, for what it is, is amazing. At a time where anime in America and Europe wasn't greatly received AND for a film which is 3 films spliced into one, this film did what it needed to be noticed. The animation for the time is well above average and when action is involved, it only gets better. As a movie directed solely at Digimon fans or kids between 8 and 15 perhaps it does a great job at providing what is needed to be known about the characters and what plot there is.Speaking of the plot, that's one of the bad things of this film. Like I said, for what it is its not bad but it is very lackluster. It doesn't give much information out of the first 15 minutes or so. Another problem is voice some of the voice acting. Scratch that, the writing. There are some moment where the writing ends up being a let down for carrying on a scene too quickly which leads voice actors' emotion to change drastically, throwing what immersion there was out the window.All in all. I think this film for what it was at the time, is really darn good. Looking bad at it critically there are clearly problems but its nothing bad enough to let the film down to make it non-enjoyable.
... View MoreWhen I was a kid, I used to watch the Digimon TV series and I loved it. There were unique creatures such as Agumon, Gatomon, Tokomon and characters such as Tai, Sora, Izzy, TK, Mimi, Matt, and Joe. All was peaches and cream until Digimon the Movie came out 12 years ago. This film is actually a failed English dub of not one, not two, but THREE original Japanese Digimon movies! This film started with an obnoxious short featuring... Amanda Avocado? Anna Artichoke? Angelica Alligator? Oh! I remember now! Alexandra Alabama! No? Oh, Angela Anaconda! Okay, I don't like Angela Anaconda, but I don't dislike her either. However, don't you think it's weird for Digimon the Movie to start with Angela Anaconda and her friends going to see the movie? What's next, the Cast of Fairly Odd Parents rushing in to see Fred the Movie? Okay, I'll get on with the movie. What would be a bad way to start off the movie with? a god-awful rap version of the Digimon theme song perhaps? Pretty much.Like I said, this movie is a combination of the first three Digimon movies that came out in Japan. The first part is Digimon Adventure(Not to be confused with the Japanese name for the Digimon TV series), where Tai and his baby sister Kari meet a newly born Koromon. Through the course of this part, Koromon digivolves into Agumon and during the battle against Parrotmon, he transforms into a kick-butt Greymon, leading to a draw between Parrotmon and Greymon as they disappear back into the Digital World. Uh... Was that face-sucking scene necessary? That signifies either Koromon's friendly greeting or the fact that Koromon is trying to eat Tai and Kari's faces off like that Demon Mask in Inuyasha.The second part is Digimon Adventure: Our War Game. This part involves this crazy Digimon named Apocalymon who makes all the electronics go haywire, only to be defeated by Omnimon in the end. The subplot involves Tai trying to send an apology e-mail to Sora but is unable to due to Apocalymon taking over his computer. However, in the end, Sora finally receives Tai's apology e-mail after the electronics return to normal. And for what, Tai vomiting in Sora's hat? That would be disgusting, but that's not something even I would hold a grudge against.The third and final part of the movie is Digimon Adventure 02: Hurricane Touchdown. This time, it involves the main heroes from Digimon Adventure 02(Which is part of the English version of Digimon) battling against a corrupted Digimon named Kokomon and ends it all in one of the most strangest and bizarre endings ever seen. Is it really necessary for a Smash Mouth song to be played at the end?And that's the whole movie for you. How was it you might ask? HORRENDOUS! The English version has destroyed Digimon with the character inconsistencies, corny jokes you'll only hear in pre-1980's Hannah-Barbera Cartoons, an awkward soundtrack, and the Angola Alamo short! Wait, did I say "Angola Alamo", I meant to say Angela Anaconda. On the hand, the animation was kind of nice for a bad English version of three original Japanese Digimon movies combined.This movie is so awful and stupid it's like having 4kids TV editing three original Japanese One Piece movies to make One Piece: The Movie featuring the same character inconsistencies, the same jokes from pre-1980's Hannah-Barbera cartoons, songs by the Black Eye Peas, Hannah Montana, The Jonas Brothers, Justin Beiber, The Cast of High School Musical, and Victorious mixed together with the crappy One Piece rap from the 4Kids TV version of One Piece at the beginning, and starting off the movie with the characters from Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, Bratz, Winx Club, The Cramp Twins, Chaotic, The Back to the Future animated TV series, and Viva Pinata rushing in to see the same movie!And where is Fox Kids now? NOBODY KNOWS! All I can say is that Fox Kids has no right to butcher Digimon with this piece of digi-crap! You know what they say, Quality is better than Quantity. And that's all, digi-folks!
... View MoreWell, it's hard to say if this movie is just awesome, just good or awful. It fully depends on what you like, and don't forget it's an animated movie. I first watched this movie about 8 years ago (I'm still pretty young). Back then I couldn't review it, but after seeing it again, I think I can.It surprises me how well this is animated. Seriously, it was almost scary how detailed it was. Almost every move had a different detail, like when Omnimon was fighting Diaboromon. Maybe that's a bad example, but I couldn't think of others. Although I must admit the graphics self were a bit simplified, like the shading, the animation totally made up for it.As for the soundtracks, they were quite the same as the music from season 1 and 2, well, mostly season 2. There may be one or two tracks who were new, but I can't recall. At least the music was good and it all fit well together.Alright, now for the movie itself (yup, I'm not done), and I mean the script and stuff. Man, that's really hard. The main reason is that it's quite different from the original series. Not that the story has changed, maybe slightly, but it's a lot more dramatic then you expect from a regular Digimon episode. The fights had a lot more action in it, and were much more "scarier". If I was a little kid, I could actually get nightmares from it. The sound effects also play a big role, because they sound a lot more destructive. But what really makes it awesome, as I call it, are the virus-kind Digimon, like Diaboromon.Man, those guys are scary. Those eyes, bodies, colors... Everything on them is freakin' weird. But that's what makes it so cool. It's the horror in the monsters what makes it so cool to watch. "The hell with nightmares, as long as I can watch this movie!". Not that I would say that of course if I was like 7 or 8.There are some other points like the length that surprised me. The movie is 88 minutes long, which means (duh) it's 1 hour and 28 minutes long. That doesn't sound like much, but believe me, it is. It's mostly because there's always something going on. Humor or action, it doesn't matter. By the way, most animated movies are as long as that, but most of them have those stupid unnecessary scenes in them. I won't give any examples.Okay, some flaws are in this movie, I will sum the stuff up: -The drawings are a bit simplified. -The endings a bit cut-off and strange -The story went a bit off, there were some things not mentioned in the series who were mentioned in the movie only, which makes the story a bit twisted, but still nice.And some good things: -Kickass animation! -Nice storyline -Dramatic awesome fighting scenes. -Lots of humoristic parts.I think that's all I need to say about this movie. It's fun if you like anime, but even if you don't, give it a try. I'm not a real Digimon fan, but I just love anime.PS: My personal downside is the fact that they're using a Windows rip- off, and even mention Bill Gates! As an Apple-fan, I don't really like that. Although it's an old movie of course.
