Digimon: O Filme

I watched this movie with my little brother and he is a Digimon fan. Now, I'm not a huge Digimon fan and I came with my brother because he couldn't go alone and I knew my parents did not want to see it. I came out of the movie really liking it, I enjoyed watching it. It's a fantastic movie for all Digimon fans, but kids parents may not like it. It does have some violence, but it's not bloody or full of guts. The violence is tasteful and the movie has it's funny moments! The animation is really the only thing about the movie that wasn't really great, but everything else about the movie is great!

I'll start with the bad news. Anyone who has never seen the series could get very confused.

Glad thats over. Digimon is a great movie, the sound track is awesome, the comedy is classic and the story line rocks.

The animation harks back to the Japanese style of 10/20 years ago, and is less simple and Americanised than the series. The script is full of one liners and hilarious slapstick. The humour will have kids and adults laughing out loud so parents can have a good time too.

The action is very fast paced and this where non-fans could fall down. It could get a little confusing even avid watchers of the show could get lost.

This was nothing like Pokemon, and cannot be called a rip off as there is no similarity apart from "mon" being in the title. But I greatly advise any fan off the growing "mon" world to see this one.

I like the second part of the movie best because of the way Izzy looked liked when he was about to burst. Furthermore, this movie serves as to what happens after the first series ends. To me, I loved how it was told and I loved how Tai got frustrated over a silly letter to his friend Sora. It was funny to see the movie, especially when Izzy ate all that bad food of Tai's mother. But its purpose of it will never be forgotten for this movie really rocks.

I've been a fan of Digimon Adventure and Zero Two for about four years now, and when I heard they were coming out with a movie in America for it I got excited.

So when I finally saw it, it was somewhat of a letdown. Sure, the movie has its funny parts, but it was too changed from the original Japanese versions that it just can't really compare. For one, the three "parts" don't really have anything to do with each other. They're three separate movies in Japan (and there was a fourth one later that never made it's way to the US), and they should have stayed that way. Plus, chunks were left out of the movie to cut down on time, parts that were rather important to understanding the plot as a whole. Some of the jokes were funny, but some were quite stupid, and of course a lot of them portrayed Daisuke (Davis) as being more stupid than he was shown in the Japanese version.

However, I understand that many people cannot understand raw Japanese, and as of yet there is no official subtitled version legally released, so if you enjoy Digimon and are looking for a good laugh, I would still recommend this movie. Though I admit I enjoyed the four Japanese movies better than this one, it's still a movie I found good enough to go out and buy and watch from time to time. It's cute, it's fun, and how can you not enjoy a movie about a bunch of kids and their pet digital monsters trying to save not just one, but the best of two worlds?

I've seen this movie numerous times, and found it to be an interesting part of the Digimon storyline. However, not every part of this movie was worth writing home about. While the first two segments expanded on plots mentioned in the TV show, the third movie was one big void. No episode since then has mentioned the events of that segment, and it's the only part of the movie that we don't know when it takes place. We know the first part takes place 4 years prior to Season 1, and the events of this segment are shown in flashbacks during the episode "Return to Highton View Terrace." We also know that the second part of the film takes place shortly after Season 1, although the events after the last episode of Season 1 have not been clarified, so we don't have an exact point of reference. Finally, the third part seems to have just been thrown in to show the Season 2 cast, pre-Ken's conversion to the good side.

Now that I've finished that part, I'd like to say that the second segment, called "Our War Game" in Japan, was my favorite part. Even if the concept was a bit hokey (It's Digimon, the whole concept is hokey if you think about it.), it still was written extremely well. It also answered the question we've all been asking: "When will someone attack them while they're Digivolving?" All in all, I rate the segments of this film as follows: Favorite: Segment 2 "Our War Game", followed by Segment 1 (can't remember the title in Japan), and then Segment 3 (also can't remember the title!).
