Digimon: The Movie (2000)

The Worst Film Ever

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Absolutely the worst movie.

In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

This film, for what it is, is amazing. At a time where anime in America and Europe wasn't greatly received AND for a film which is 3 films spliced into one, this film did what it needed to be noticed. The animation for the time is well above average and when action is involved, it only gets better. As a movie directed solely at Digimon fans or kids between 8 and 15 perhaps it does a great job at providing what is needed to be known about the characters and what plot there is.Speaking of the plot, that's one of the bad things of this film. Like I said, for what it is its not bad but it is very lackluster. It doesn't give much information out of the first 15 minutes or so. Another problem is voice some of the voice acting. Scratch that, the writing. There are some moment where the writing ends up being a let down for carrying on a scene too quickly which leads voice actors' emotion to change drastically, throwing what immersion there was out the window.All in all. I think this film for what it was at the time, is really darn good. Looking bad at it critically there are clearly problems but its nothing bad enough to let the film down to make it non-enjoyable.

Digimon:The Movie was one of those movies, that I thought I wasn't going to enjoy. Anyway, I watched it with low expectations, and it was better than I expected it to be. Maybe the pivotal factors of my fear that it wasn't going to be good, is because I am not a huge fan of the TV show, and that I did not like Pokemon:The First Movie. I did enjoy most of it, but it is mediocre as a film. The animation is mostly good, and true to the show, and the voice talents on the whole were dynamic and expressive, and aided by some good dialogue. The characters are likable,even the villains were adequate, and there are one or two thrilling action sequences. Sadly, there are some factors that let it down. I am still not receptive to the title song, and whereas the film starts off fine, the last 20 minutes are rushed, and are highly suggestive of two or three episodes thrown together. There were also some parts in the story that were underdeveloped. While mediocre, Digimon certainly isn't a terrible movie, it just isn't a great one either. 5/10 Bethany Cox.

my sister used to always for some oddly reason get mixed up between Pokémon and digimon and every time i were watching digimon she would always be like can we change the channel from Pokémon?and i would be like no it's digion.hahahahaha.but i would always watch the show on t.v. i thought the movie was great i'not gonna lie. i liked it better than the t.v. show.all the action and digimons and everything and i'm also glad they started from when tai and his sister were younger because i was wondering how his sister got a digimon.no lie.and then David liked tai's sister it was funny and he would alway try to impress her every time but it usually never worked.i just wanted to give the movie some praise though that's all.

Well I have to admit, when I watched the movie in 2000 (when I was 11), I was obsessed with it. But since I've aged I've come to decide that this movie is pretty poor. I think it was slightly tacky and unfair to Americans and other non-Japanese speaking companies that they had to wait for all 3 Japanese movies to be released before this film was made. I also think compacting 3 movies together confused a little, and people could easily get confused. 3 very similar story lines in one film can cause utter confusion.I think it's better than the Pokemon movies though, because the storyline has more depth to it, and the voice actors are of a higher standard, and less "whiney" than in Pokemon.In conclusion, I think the film could've been a lot better, though I may be biased as it is not for my age group anymore.
