BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

jackstarr777 I saw this film only today, as I'm going through all the videos I used to like as a kid. At first, I thought it was going to be all cheesy and little-kiddie, but then I actually found myself more thrilled and enjoyable towards it than most more mature movies.All the music and action was so exciting, even if you're not a little kid. And some of the jokes actually set me off laughing! I did not believe how great this film was. It really took me back to my childhood.The only bad point, however, was the third part of the movie. Sure, it was good, but hardly matched up to the first two parts. Maybe it was just the sudden change of characters. I never did like the second set of kids as much as Tai, Izzy, Matt, Sora and the others. But still, it was very entertaining.This film doesn't deserve a 4.7 rating, at all. Maybe all the critics on here never had a childhood. If you did, then watch this movie. As for anyone else... well, they're wrong.By the end of the film, I had tears in my eyes, honestly. It just bought back so many memories, and the last shot, along with the music, it gave me goosebumps... I loved it.10/10 from me.

sarahgenes I am an adult now, and this is still one of my favorite movies for many reasons, beyond the obvious nostalgia factor. First and foremost, it's absolutely hilarious. I'm not kidding, it's one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, and I laugh out loud every single time i watch it. The jokes are knee-slappingly cheesy, but genuinely funny. And who doesn't get a kick out of the silly puns? The characters are hilarious, quick-witted, and sarcastic, and the humorous dialogue flows quickly and effortlessly through their conversations, packing as many laughs in as possible. A taste of the fun: "Tai: Hello there, this is Tai. Grandmother: You're selling ties? Tai: No, my name is Tai. I'm looking for Matt or TK. Grandmother: That's a coincidence, those are my Grandkids' names. Tai: Are they there? Grandmother: mmm-hmmm Tai: Right now? Grandmother: mmm-hmmm Tai: Can I talk to them? Grandmother: Oh, I love to talk to them too. They're here visiting. Tai: Please! I need to speak to them right away! Grandma: mmm-hmmm, OK I'll tell them. *hangs up* Kids! Tai: ..." Now that's good old fashioned humor. Also, this movie has an AWESOME soundtrack. Music from Barenaked Ladies, Smashmouth, and more, not to mention the "Digirap", will keep you jamming throughout the show. Any Digimon fan will love this movie. Maybe it's because I'm a bit of a child at heart, but I recommend it to anyone with any sort of vague interest in battling cartoon monsters, or anything else awesome. You will not regret watching this movie.

Spacetree I begin this review with a question because this movie is an oddity. I'll get to that in a second. First off, let me say that I have never seen any of the Japanese versions of the films, so I can't compare them and I won't try. That leads me to the second point I would like to make: if you didn't know, this film is actually three separate Japanese films edited into one American version.That's what makes this film odd. All the faults lie with the editing, dubbing, scripting... basically all the American added elements (surprise surprise, right?). The animation in the film(s) is great: I'm not sure who did the art direction, but it's drastically different from the series' animation, which I always found stiff and repetitive (which, again, might be the result of American editing). The animation in the movies is smooth, dynamic, stylish, and very action packed. It can be compared to the animation in FLCL or the animation in select episodes of Naruto (such as the showdown between Naruto and Sasuke). Everything sort of flows. The character models are a bit more distorted, and it uses darker/cooler color shadings. The overall effect is very good and entertaining.Unfortunately, the superb action and animation direction is moot when put beside the HORRIBLE dubbing. Saban, like 4Kids is wont to do, chose to drastically alter the original script and writing. Often, side-comments will be added to the dialog for no real reason except, possibly, to cram more dialog into a scene. The jokes are often flat, and distract from the main plot instead of adding to it. If you want a good example of this, watch any of the One Piece episodes translated by 4Kids (i.e. the ones with the crappy rap song opening). It's awful. Thank God Funimation took that show over, but I digress.Speaking of plot, it's bad. Let me clarify: the plot for the first two sequences (Greymon vs. Parrotmon and the first digidestined vs. Diaboromon/Infermon) is actually good, mainly because it's simple. As stand alone movies, the plot would be fine. However, when combined together with the third sequence/film (featuring the digidestined from season 2 vs. a new digimon named Endigomon), it's bad. Real bad. The connections between each movie are tenuous at best, and terribly explained.And don't get me started on the third movie. The third movie, in which everything is "explained" and the plot comes together has been edited to hell. There is no continuity, and everything is pretty nonsensical. If you can get any enjoyment from this segment of the film, congratulations. I was just confused, because the scenes have been chopped up and thrown together again. There is no logical flow of action from scene to scene.So, if I was to make a one word value assessment of this film, it would be "bad". Not terrible. It has some redeeming qualities. I would say it's better than, say, the Yu-Gi-Oh movie.

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.
