Digimon Adventure tri. 1: Saikai

I had no clue this series of movies existed until about a week ago, and after watching the first, I'm more curious than excited to see where things will go. There's a lot of romantic jabs and developments in this movie that I don't remember much in the original series, and I wish more time was spent on making the 'infected' Digimon plot more interesting. Not that romance is bad to have now that they're all teens, but it didn't hold my interest much. Already had a few spoilers too, but I think I'll watch through the whole saga.

In this film, we see the return of the Digimon characters we all know and love. It sets up an intriguing new series with new threats and characters. In hindsight, it didn't really live up to these expectations. But as a standalone entry, it showed a lot of promise.

This movie is like a reunion with your old childhood friend, you've changed, they've changed but the adventures are still there. The action in this movie is awesome, and all the animation is a nice update compared to the original. This sets the stage perfectly for the rest of the movie series.

The original digivolve music was so catchy, cool and perfect. So the producers decided to come up with boring music instead. Why would they do that? It makes no sense.

The story is perfect, action is nice and it was great to see the originals back together again.

Reunion was way better than any animated Pokemon movie because its causal and down to earth.

Recommendation: To original season 1 Digimon fans.

It appears this film is the first in a series of film which will conclude in 2018. If I knew that I wouldn't have watched it. The following review will be for both the first and second films. From what I read, the third is supposed to be awesome but I haven't been able to get my hands on it. The first film in the series is extremely lacking because it simply acts an introduction or reintroduction. Plus there is hardly has any action in it.
