Summary: 4 Stars
Before I talk about THIS movie, I should let all you Digimon fans know about a few other things about the Digimon movies: . . .* In the original Japanese version, there are 7 Digimon Movies, the first two are involved with Season 1, with the origin of the Digi-Destined (translated into here), the Battle with Diaboromon on the Internet where WarGreymon & MetalGarurumon DNA-Digivolve into Omnimon (translated here) and the third movie, in the middle of Season 2, where T.K. & Kari, Davis, Yolei & Cody meet Willis (finally translated). All 3 movies had various scenes cut-out as there was not enough money to make a 2hr Movie - with movie 3 having the MOST cut-out scenes, having the older Digi-Destined captured. The animation, unfortunately, is not better than the TV Show, but its movement is slightly improved. The voices do okay, but not as well as the TV Show.
The other 4 movies, beginning with the 4th Movie "Diablomon/Diaboromon Strikes Back" is set after the Digi-Destiend defeat MaloMyotismon, and they are havinga battle against Diaboromon's Baby forms who converge into Armagemon. Omnimon/Omegamon and Imperialdramon Fighter Mode cannot beat him, until Omegamon's body of energy becomes Excalibur the Sword, transforming Imperialdramon into his Paladin Mode and defeating Armagemon.
Movie 5 & 6 have not been translated and are involved with "Season 3: Digimon Tamers", the 5th Movie (in the middle of the Season between eps 18 & 19) has Takato, Henry & Rika fighting Mephitsomon-Galfmon, who attempts to controil the world with V-Pets. And the 6th Movie is set after Season 3, with more of the TV Characters fighting an evil Parasite digimon controling a train Digimon who runs amuck in the Real world.
The final 7th Digimon Movie, "Revival of the Ancient Digimon" is set in the middle of "Season 4: Digimon Frontier" where the Digi-destined come across an island where human-type and beast-type digimon war against eachother and the children must stop the deception.
All the Digimon are less than an hour, running for either 3O mins or 51 mins. However the animation in movies 5-7 is better but looking closer to the show. It would've been better if they did Movies 1-2 first, then 3-4 as a sequel, followed by 5-6 for a third movie and putting 7 as a bonus feature.
BUT IT WAS REALLY GOOD ALL THE SAME!
Movie Review: 3 Movies For The Price of 1
Summary: 4 Stars
I knew before I saw this film that it was hashed together from the 3 Japanese Digimon movies. I also knew that several important scenes from the originals had been left out, and that quite a lot of the dialog had been changed. I even knew about the questionable music selected for the film...Yet I still bought this DVD, and have watched it again and again. Despite the producers' best efforts to totally americanise this film, they have not quite succeeded in removing all of the original story line that the Japanese storywriters intended to be shown. This is certainly a good thing - too much Americanisation of Anime is never good, and this film came close to taking it one step too far. However, Digimon's debut on the big screen in the US (and the UK) has been a big success. They may sound a little weird, but the Digimon and their partners all have distinct personalities and this makes them fun to relate with as the movie progresses. You get used to the poor jokes after a while...
The film is split into 3 parts - firstly a 'How It All Began' 20 minute intro, about how the DigiDestined were chosen, followed by the main story, which is about a Digimon who becomes infected with a virus, and tries to take over the Internet and thusly most of the world. Tai and the others destroy the infected Digimon and the virus, but in the third and final part of the film we find that the virus has infected another Digimon, who is stalking one of the DigiDestined in the USA. By now, Davis and the new DigiDestined are on the scene, and the 3rd part focuses on the defeating of the virus, and the rebirth of the infected Digimon, much to the relief of Willis, the infected Digimon's partner.
I'm not going to talk about the music, apart from one comment: in comparison to the Japanese score, the techno junk that this film had was almost insulting, and completely inappropriate at times.
Overall, the movie is a collection of slapstick comedy, a bit of fighting, and a deeper look into the characters that we met in the first two Digimon TV series'. The original Japanese message of friendship and strength is not lost, and this film is great for those who are perhaps not keen followers of the TV series as much as it is for those Digi-obsessed kids out there.
