Summary: Worst Movie Ever!
Review: I expected a lot better from this movie. Very... animation for an anime movie. The animation is even better on the digimon show,the digimon movie is even worse then the digimon show. This is also a big copy of the Pokemon movies that really failed. Also when there's sad parts the digidestined act all emotinal and start crying when it's not sad. It just makes me crack up when those stupid,cruddy sad parts. I mean the digivolving is so lame cause it just wastes time on the digimon show and the digimon movie and then the digimon turn into cruddy baby digimon after they digivolve and battle. The pokemon evolution is very correct and the pokemon don't dumbly de-evolve. It's a cheap rip-off and it's waste of time seeing it. I TOTALLY DESPISE DIGIMON!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Digimon is not a rip off of Pokemon, Digimon came first!
Review: I liked this movie. I'm a Digimon fan, and as such I thought the movie was pretty good, if a bit oddly put together. There's some definate missing parts, but it's still very good overall. The animation style is different from the T.V. show, it more "realistic". I liked the animation, though it is odd, and may not be everyone's cup of tea.

And yes, Digimon came first. Digimon first appeared in Tomogachi toys called Digivices. The major differences between Pokemon and Digimon is Digimon is an adventure story, with a cohesive storyline that actually goes somewhere. The kids in Digimon are heroes out to save the world, their digimon are with them by choice and destiny, and are intelligent sentient creatures in their own right. Pokemon is a loosley tied together series of shorts involving a selfish quest to capture as many Pokemon as possible and train them to beat each other up. The kids are in it for themselves, and while they care about their Pokemon, they don't hesitate to throw them into a fight just to make themselves look good. Violence for the sake of violence. Whereas in Digimon, the monsters fight to protect one another and the world. Pokemon mindlessly do what they are trained to do, which is fight and act really cute. Their are many other smaller differences, but that's the main jist of it.

Oh yea, and Digimon are just WAY cooler.

Summary: It's good, but.....where's the rest?
Review: I love this film. Despite what everyone else says, I love it. Bear in mind that I'm a Digimon fan. But at the end of it I just felt as if I'd missed out on the fun. As you may know, the Digimon Movie was made up of the three Japanese films, all edited and slammed together. Really, you want to see all of the three films, not just the bits that they chose. And some bits in the last 'section' just don't make sense (the bit where Gatomon and Patamon warp-digivolve). But apart from that major fault, I thought the film was great- funny, with good music and plenty of action. But even so, I still wanna see the rest of them. I think Fox Kids made a mistake to try and combat the Pokemon films with this. It would have been better if they'd all been dubbed fully, and then released one by one. But still, doesn't look like that's gonna happen, so this (mostly) fills the Digimon gap for now. On the DVD, the 'Extra Features' are sparce too. And what is with the Anna Anaconda thing at the beginning?

Summary: Pokemon, Digimon, what's the difference?
Review: "Well, let's face it: Digimon has a nothing to do love song, and they released it so it could beat Pokemon in the ratings here in USA. They made the same attempt with Spider Man Unlimited, and grow up! This cartoon is a cheap copy of Pokemon. When the Digimon talk they just say something stupid like "There's the bad guy!" Even if the story is entertaining, Pokemon solve it in continuity, like when Charizard wouldn't obey Ash, it took him almost a season for him to be obedient, and when Greymon evolved into Skullgreymon, it evolved back to that stupid baby form, and Pokemon evolve correctly. So overall Digimon is a paper-wasting cartoon with stupid plots like those symbols that they find accidentaly, at least Pokemon do not die and turn into eggs, like come on........"

"There's the bad guy"? Why don't they know his name like the characters in Pokemon or Dragonball Z do? Didn't Saban catch a glimpse of the Pokemon whilst working on his Digimon and then he felt like stealing their looks and juicing them up with computer graphics? Either way, Digimon IS an in-your-face imitation of Pokemon. At least they're better than the Looney Tunes characters who can't speak English for nothing. I even have more respect for the Pokemon because when they evolve, they stay in the form to where they just evolved, not morph back into their otherwise cute baby form. But then nobody's better than anybody, so I can't tell which of the two shows is better or worse: this or the Nintendo characters who just say their own names. The only thing I DO know is: when two elements collide, it's a question of honour. And that's a fact, Jack!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Action without a plot does not work out in any films!
Review: I'm just making an editorial synopsis. You can find out the movie details yourself. But see, this movie is basically good. Funny enough, the characters are good, although it would have helped if we actually got to know them a little bit. But we need a plot. How has Willis convinced his mother he's camping in his home state, Colorado, when he's actually in New York City, which by some freak circumstance is deserted except for the main characters at first when Kokomon shows up? Why were TK and Kari alone a public monorail on their way back to Colorado? Who the heck was driving it? How did Yolei, Davis and Cody manage to convice their parents they would be fine going from Japan to the USA by themselves?? Is that okay in Japan, or what? Absurd! But still, it's good. I'm ruining the review with a need to be smart. No, it is very entertaining with plenty of action. If you can avoid the plot, which doesn't seem to exist... And one more thing you should know right now: the movie description on the back of the package will not relate well to what actually happens in the movie. Why? Because they cut out a big chunk about "a wayward Digimon kidnaps the original Digidestined"! What were they, nuts?? Anyway, PG was an appropriate rating. But you'd think for that rating that the movie's language would be a little bolder than the usual show--but nope.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The original
Review: Everybody have watch this movie knowdest there are 3 diffrerent story in this movie. That's because it is 3 diffrent movie put into one. The problem of this movie is that they cut about 40 minites from the original movie. most of the cut was in the 3rd story (about half an hour). It would be better if they didn't cut any parts of the movie other then that it's good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Digimon rocks!
Review: I think Digimon the Movie is really great! It's in 3 sections: 8 years ago, 4 years ago, and present day. In the first section, Tai and Kari meet their first digimon. 4 years ago, an internet virus attacks a digiegg and it mutates into Diaboromon who is threatening the Internet. Tai, Izzy, Matt, and T.K. and their digimon fight Diaboromon. Present day, the new digidestined(Davis, Yolei, Cody, T.K., Kari) help Willis in America. The virus tracked him down and now, one of his digmon(Chocomon) is stalking him. They team up to destroy the virus and free Chocomon. This was an awesome movie and there were some really funny parts too! I think Davis's crush on Kari is hilarious!

I was a really huge Pokemon fan before, and I thought Digimon was just a cheesy show tryin' to jock pokemon. Then, I watched several episodes of digimon, and I think it's A LOT better than Pokemon. Digimom has a much better storyline and it's a lot more in depth than Pokemon. First of all, why is everyone comparing Digimon to Pokemon? Practically the only thing they have in common is "mon" at the end of the word. I know a lot of little kids like digimon and pokemon because they're fun and there's cute monsters and stuff, but I think older viewers would appreciate Digimon more, because there's alot more to Digimon than just fighting with monsters and stuff like that. Many older kids think Digimon is too dumb and childish even though they've never seen Digimon but it's not. It's like judging a book by it's cover.

Well, anyways, Digimon rules!!! I watch it every day!!! Matt totally rocks!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Digimon may charm kids, or not and annoy everybody
Review: Altough the characterizations in "Digimon: The Movie" are sharper and the jokes are better than "Pokemon", Digimon seems endless. It's not also very coherent, but adults are clearly not the audience for this flick. This film it's also a spin-off of a children's animated TV show from Japan. It was created out of theatrical shorts, which also inspired a very lucrative toy line. These international cultural kids phenoms just keep rolling on, Digimon concerns a group of Japanese children and an american boy. More than just fond of hacking away at their computers, these kids live and almost die by them. When one of them creates a monster that runs amok, the kids undertake an international rescue mission. If they fail on their mission, horror of horrors, technology as we know it will come to a trashing halt. Just think: a world without PCs and mobile phones. Tsk, tsk. A nuclear disaster also seems to be a threat, too, but i can't be sure there:That could have been one of the many irritating dream sequences that look and sound just like the socalled real action sequences.

Still more irritating, but very typical of the ways kids talk, is the tracking "mon" or "digi" onto words, so the kids known as Digidestines and they conquer corrupt Digimon, which are weaking havoc in Digiworld. Got it?

Nudgin into "Pokeomon" territoy, the little creatures know as the good Digimon bear a sneaky resemblance to those other animated wonders.The animation is stilted and almost lifeless and the kids are so cookie-cutter like, there is a little vibrancy in their story.

Most of the action involves video game violence, but like Pokemon flicks, nothing terrible happens to the core group of kids and they do bemoan the demise of their enemies. The movie has heart, right?

You rather watch "Ghost in the Shell", "Princess Mononoke" or "The Castle of Cagliostro".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It is just typically the same Digimon Movie..
Review: I'd have to say the uncut Japanese Three Digimon movies were better, but with the "Angela Anaconda" intro was just pathetic, but the movie itself was just fine. Although I'm not a fan of Saban's dubbing, and I am still not, they did an exceptional job on this movie. I'm not happy with the episodes, but the movie is just fine. They kept the same dark sadness at the end as in the Japanese version "The Golden Digimental." It would have been 5/5 stars if the dubbing was so poor, but the overall saved the movie and I must give it a 4/5.
