Can be surprisingly smart and lively in its early going, thanks to some cheeky, well-written humor, a genuine sense of excitement and topical ties to the Internet.

Reviews for Digimon: The Movie
Top CriticI found the movie exciting enough to keep me interested.
01/01/00
It's tons of fun, but it's also a rapid-fire, chaotic, bizzaro world that may give you a seizure if you stare at it too long.
01/01/00
This full-length animated film actually isn't bad.

The movie can actually make for a great afternoon.

The fight scenes ... are thrilling, the friendships among the Digidestined children are way cool, and the protective gestures of the older kids toward the younger ones in the movie are probably a good example for all.
01/01/00
Overall, it's a pleasantly bearable experience.

Top CriticThe animation itself isn't anything special -- not that the target audience cares much about that. But the message is sweet and empowering.

The movie doesn't even try for coherence. Each of its three distinct episodes is barely comprehensible in itself.

With its migraine-inducing laser showdowns and puerile gags ... Digimon almost makes you nostalgic for the relative sophistication of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Not that I'm encouraging you to see the movie, you understand -- especially not when you could, for example, alternatively spend the evening tweezing your eyebrows with chopsticks.

Top CriticDigimon isn't deserving of much, as it's still not a very good movie. But at least it's not as bad as Pokemon.
01/01/00
The film is strictly for the kiddies, there's not that many grownups who would stand for monsters going at each other yelling Fart POWER!!!!! or whatever it is they're saying.
01/01/00
It's crudely animated and utterly uninteresting.
01/01/00
Art may be too much, but shouldn't filmmakers deliver something more than rehashed Saturday morning piffle on the silver screen?
