Digimon: The Movie

Pros: A couple good tracks on the soundtrack
Cons: violence, confusion, lousy animation

Force me to watch Pokemon for 10 days straight. Force me to watch endless re-runs of Barney. Heck, even force me to watch the Teletubbies. But please, don't submit me to watching Digimon: The Movie again!

As with many kids around...

Pros: Action (1st & 2nd Acts)

Cons: Angela Anaconda Skit
Unbalanced 3rd Act
Requires knowledge of the series.

So, it's Digimon. Digimon is actually older than Pokemon, but suffered from a smaller audience. To understand Digimon, you must first understand that digi – mon stands for Digital Monsters. These were common place on key chains in the mid 90's. When you ...

Pros: Positive team work theme
Cons: Digimon can actually die

Don’t worry about using spell check the word is really "Digimon” which means Digital Monsters. Which sounds a lot like “Pokemon” which is another animation film based upon a boy’s friendship with his fighting friends called Pokemon. It's no big...

Pros: New Digimon, Made the kids happy
Cons: Poorly developed story lines, violent

“Digimon, Digimon, Digimon are the champions”, my sons and their friend paraded through the living room chanting. Right then I knew something was up. My sons don’t serenade me unless they want something. “Mom, can we go see Digimon tonight” they all...

Pros: Lots of great action, a few neat plot twists, some humorous gags
Cons: Unresolved plot issues, poor quality animation, oddball soundtrack

Let me start with the basic truth: in order to really enjoy this movie, you need to already be a fan of the television cartoon on which this show was based.

Now, I'm not saying that you won't enjoy the movie if you don't eagerly run downstairs...

Pros: Great action, the kids loved it
Cons: Too long

I took my two little boys to see "Digimon the Movie" today. It wasn't something I was at all interested in, but I had promised them that I would take them.

I am going to let my eldest son who is 8 do this review. I will type his...

Pros: Fast paced; kids will enjoy.
Cons: Makes no sense to the uninitiated.

If you think a passing familiarlity with Pokémon is preparation enough for Digimon: The Movie--the big screen debut of the Pokémon knockoff/rival television series--think again. In fact, nothing but an extensive knowledge of the...

Pros: action, stimulating, aggressive
Cons: underappreciated by the older generation

I heard I don't know how many bad reviews about the Digimon movie, which means that I HAD to go see it. My son is more at the Pokemon age, so I was subjected to the first movie and have to sit through the cartoon whenever it is on. I don't mind Pokemon...

Pros: A lot better than I had thought it would be- original and fresh
Cons: could be rather confusing for those who aren't familiar with the series.

I saw this movie about an hour ago, and I was pretty pleased with what I got for my money. I'm an anime fan, and I'm more or less a fan of Digimon, but I had serious doubts about this movie. For starters, I was afraid the art would be bad and the movie...

Pros: a couple of good songs
Cons: just about everything else

O.K., the "theatre near me" has finally got around to showing "Digimon the Movie", so I know it will be out on video soon, and I must warn potential buyers not to purchase this tape, unless they have a fondness for torture by...

Pros: great animation; lots of action; retains some continuity from the series; an utter joy for digi-fans
Cons: bad script; jumbled up story that requires paying attention to; complexity may turn off some viewers

Unless you don't watch the series, this movie may not make any sense to you. But if you do watch the series, well, you may have to watch it again. I myself understood the plot line and loved this movie. Yeah the story is sort of jumbled up and the...

Pros: neat monsters, interesting art, the USA as seen by the Japanese
Cons: confusing in places, silly-looking monsters, stitched-together plot

...Then this is the sort of thing you'll really like.

As a fan of anime in general, and a frequent watcher of the TV version, I decided to catch a matinee showing of the movie.

A little background for those of you not familiar with...

Pros: Tom Loved It.
Cons: It was Digimon

There's a lot of things wrong with this movie. The animation is not as good as you might expect in a feature length animated movie. The story is patchwork, and makes little sense in a lot of places. But I'm looking at it from the perspective of a 21...

Pros: Action Packed, Imaginative, Animation
Cons: Mostly just general dub problems, cut, dialog.. etc

Well being a fan of Anime and cartoons in general I have to say, overall I enjoyed this movie. It had a lot of action, kept in line with the Digimon series, and had a decent plot to it. The animation (In My Opinion) is cool, and the synchronization is...

Pros: Humor, soundtrack, animation basically a good cult classic.
Cons: That angela anaconda short (Among other things.)

This will kinda be 4 reviews all at once. There are technically 4 parts in this.

Part 1 the Angela Anaconda short

Summary: Angela Anaconda and her friends try to get into the movie theater to see "Digimon the movie".
