One of my all time favorites.

Just perfect...

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I feel so guilty for having the Nostalgia Critic's review of this movie as one of my favorite episodes. I'll never forget him saying, "At least Pokémon...". The thing is, I have never been into Digimon, but I've done my research and I don't think it ripped off Pokémon. This counts as a movie based on a video game which I believe was Tamagotchi which predates Pokémon. However, in 1991, there was a video game called "Shin Megami Tensei", which featured fighting monsters. So is everyone stealing from that game? No, this is just a genre of its own that's easy to identify, the "Mon" genre we call it. I saw one episode of this show and thought it was just weird.I was really put off by the animation in this movie. It just looked so old. I find "Pokémon: The First Movie" to be better, but not by much. I was annoyed by all the pop songs in this movie which is really something I hate in animated movies (including anime ones). The last segment was the best, probably because it had the nicest character development. I don't hate Digimon and I actually did kind of like the romance surrounding the characters. "Pokémon" wouldn't have that until many years later. "Pokémon" has finally overtaken the higher score on this website. I guess the series is creative but it is pretty strange to me, particularly with how some Digievolutions are humanoid. It isn't for me. **

Digimon: The Movie (2000): Dir: Mamoru Hosoda, Minoru Hosoda, Shigeyasu Yamauchi / Voices: Lara Jill Miller, Joshua Seth, Bob Glouberman, Brian Donovan, David Lodge: Mirror image of Pokemon and frankly both films should be tossed in a trash compactor and forgotten. Digimon regards our world (which is a world uninhabited by the creators of Digimon) and the digital world. It opens with an egg hatching over the Internet and becoming a furry little creature that gets bigger and fights other Digimon creatures. Eventually the whole Internet is threatened by furry creatures chewing phone line data. Why do people create such junk and call it entertainment? Even the animation is about the lowest level of garbage that is just above drawing stick figures. There is absolutely no reason to see this film or allow your children to be subject to its bullshit. It is basically candy-coated violence aimed at children whose naïve parents are busy protecting them from films like American Psycho. It is always hilarious when conservative actions ignore violence packaged in these Pokemon rehashes. They are obviously lacking in media influence if they believe that this is harmless kids entertainment. It is aimed at the lowest common denominator written as a predictable and mindless farce and dreadful animation that should be flattened under a ton of bricks. Score: 0 / 10

Well, it's hard to say if this movie is just awesome, just good or awful. It fully depends on what you like, and don't forget it's an animated movie. I first watched this movie about 8 years ago (I'm still pretty young). Back then I couldn't review it, but after seeing it again, I think I can.It surprises me how well this is animated. Seriously, it was almost scary how detailed it was. Almost every move had a different detail, like when Omnimon was fighting Diaboromon. Maybe that's a bad example, but I couldn't think of others. Although I must admit the graphics self were a bit simplified, like the shading, the animation totally made up for it.As for the soundtracks, they were quite the same as the music from season 1 and 2, well, mostly season 2. There may be one or two tracks who were new, but I can't recall. At least the music was good and it all fit well together.Alright, now for the movie itself (yup, I'm not done), and I mean the script and stuff. Man, that's really hard. The main reason is that it's quite different from the original series. Not that the story has changed, maybe slightly, but it's a lot more dramatic then you expect from a regular Digimon episode. The fights had a lot more action in it, and were much more "scarier". If I was a little kid, I could actually get nightmares from it. The sound effects also play a big role, because they sound a lot more destructive. But what really makes it awesome, as I call it, are the virus-kind Digimon, like Diaboromon.Man, those guys are scary. Those eyes, bodies, colors... Everything on them is freakin' weird. But that's what makes it so cool. It's the horror in the monsters what makes it so cool to watch. "The hell with nightmares, as long as I can watch this movie!". Not that I would say that of course if I was like 7 or 8.There are some other points like the length that surprised me. The movie is 88 minutes long, which means (duh) it's 1 hour and 28 minutes long. That doesn't sound like much, but believe me, it is. It's mostly because there's always something going on. Humor or action, it doesn't matter. By the way, most animated movies are as long as that, but most of them have those stupid unnecessary scenes in them. I won't give any examples.Okay, some flaws are in this movie, I will sum the stuff up: -The drawings are a bit simplified. -The endings a bit cut-off and strange -The story went a bit off, there were some things not mentioned in the series who were mentioned in the movie only, which makes the story a bit twisted, but still nice.And some good things: -Kickass animation! -Nice storyline -Dramatic awesome fighting scenes. -Lots of humoristic parts.I think that's all I need to say about this movie. It's fun if you like anime, but even if you don't, give it a try. I'm not a real Digimon fan, but I just love anime.PS: My personal downside is the fact that they're using a Windows rip- off, and even mention Bill Gates! As an Apple-fan, I don't really like that. Although it's an old movie of course.

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.
