Digimon Adventure Movie

Okay, I know some people are going to be like "WTF STRAIGHT 10's!? THATS SO UNREALISTIC YOU ANIME NOOB!" Whatever. In my eyes, this is the perfect animated film. I'm 17, and still hook up my VCR just so I can watch my retro VHS copy of this film. Everything about this movie just oozes with epicness and win. The artwork is gorgeous, the score for this movie is fantastic, the dubbing is easily one of the best for any anime and the story is perfect. In Japan, this movie is actually 3 seperate short movies but I guess when they released it in North ... American theaters they edited all 3 together to great a story arc. I still have my soundtrack for this movie, and it still remains my favorite motion picture soundtrack. Even the freakin Digimon theme song is amazing. Though a little outdated, this movie has already imbedded itself as a classic. I will show this movie to my own kids one day, they will probably say THIS IS LAME but whatever. The characters are very well developed, and the first part of the film reminds me of a Godzilla movie. You have to see this movie if you haven't already. If you have seen it, watch it AGAIN and AGAIN, but I'm sure if you love it as much as I do, then you already are =)

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Today, we're taking a look at the Digimon Adventure Movie, a classic anime film that's sure to bring back memories for those of us who grew up in the 90s. But does it hold up to modern standards? Well, let's find out.

The movie tells the story of a group of kids who are transported to a digital world where they meet and befriend a group of creatures known as Digimon. Together, they must fight to save both worlds from a powerful villain.

Now, while the concept of Digimon is certainly intriguing, the movie itself is a bit ... lackluster. The animation is dated, the plot is predictable, and the characters are fairly one-dimensional. It's not terrible by any means, but it's definitely not a masterpiece either.

Well, isn't this just a jolly good anime with its charming digital creatures and courageous protagonists? I mean, sure, it may be a bit dated and predictable, but who cares when you have a bunch of talking animals fighting evil, am I right?

Overall, I'd give this movie a 6/10. It's a decent watch for fans of the franchise, but it's not likely to impress anyone who's not already a die-hard Digimon fan.

Halo, para wanita dan pria. Hari ini, kita akan melihat film Digimon Adventure, sebuah film anime klasik yang pasti akan mengingatkan kenangan bagi kita yang tumbuh dewasa pada tahun 90-an. Namun, apakah film ini masih tahan terhadap standar modern? Nah, mari kita lihat.

Film ini menceritakan tentang sekelompok anak-anak yang tertransportasi ke dunia digital di mana mereka bertemu dan berteman dengan sekelompok makhluk yang dikenal sebagai Digimon. Bersama-sama, mereka harus berjuang untuk menyelamatkan kedua dunia dari penjahat yang kuat.

Sekarang, meskipun konsep Digimon tentu menarik, film ini sendiri agak kurang memukau. Animasinya sudah ketinggalan zaman, plotnya mudah ditebak, dan karakternya agak satu dimensi. Bukan buruk sama sekali, tetapi juga bukan mahakarya.

Nah, apakah ini hanya anime yang sangat baik dengan makhluk digital yang menggemaskan dan protagonis yang pemberani? Maksudku, tentu saja, mungkin agak ketinggalan zaman dan mudah ditebak, tetapi siapa peduli ketika Anda memiliki sekelompok binatang yang bisa berbicara yang melawan kejahatan, bukan begitu?

Secara keseluruhan, saya memberikan film ini 6/10. Ini adalah tontonan yang layak untuk penggemar waralaba, tetapi tidak mungkin mengesankan siapa pun yang bukan penggemar Digimon yang sejati.

I haven't seen much of Digimon so I don't know how this compares to the rest of the series. All I can do is discuss how it stands by itself. The answer is, not very well.

Digimon Adventure doesn't have a story so much as it has characters wandering aimlessly from one thing to the next. It starts with an egg coming out of a computer and hatching into a little black thing. It rolls around with an annoying toddler and her twit of an older brother before becoming a pink blob with rabbit ears and can suddenly talk for some reason. It then ... bounces around aimlessly for a while. Then it becomes a little T-rex and, thankfully, loses the ability to talk. It goes on a short rampage before being attacked by a giant parakeet. It becomes a much larger T-rex and the two continue their battle. The battle isn't even interesting. It's pretty much just the T-rex getting knocked down, staying down for a while and then getting up to finally settle things with a single attack. Why doesn't this qualify as a story? Because there's no reason for the shift from bouncing around obnoxiously to going on a rampage. Nor is there an over-arching plot.

The characters are very one-dimensional. You have two annoying children, the thing that hatches from the computer egg and the parents who are largely absent. Aside from that there are only background characters. The characters have no complexity and none of them are likable.

The art is much worse in the film than it is in the series. The biggest problem is that the visuals are just really boring.

The voice work is deliberately over-acted and annoying. The music is as bland as the visuals. Then there's the issue with the toddler blowing a whistle incessantly which becomes really annoying very quickly.

The yuri factor is a 1/10.The only two female characters are a toddler and her mother and they certainly don't share any les-yay nor should they.

My final rating for Digimon Adventure is 2/10. There's really no reason to watch it. I can't imagine that it adds anything to the Digimon series. What isn't annoying is just tedious.
