VHS Movie Reviews of Digimon - The Movie [VHS]

Movie Review: Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Product package was is awesome condition. Movie played with no issues. Arrived as described, in about a week. No complaints here.

Movie Review: One of my favorite's!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars

I remember when I first bought this movie I had to watch it over and over because it was my current favorate movie. What it is really is I think about three short fims put togehter into a movie, which I think they did a good job in doing. It kinda messed the story up a bit showing how they first knew about Digimon, but thats ok. Overall great movie!

Movie Review: Enjoy the Thrill of Friends
Summary: 4 Stars

I have always loved the values that Digimon promotes. Friendship, loyalty, and true caring are just a few that I have seen over and over again. In my mind it has made Digimon a hands down choice for me. I love to watch it again and again with my siblings. My dad may not be too wowed by it but the rest of us still love to laugh at the humor and get sucked into the action. In fact they've been begging me to let them watch it again. I finally made the switch from my VHS copy to the DVD and I can't wait to see some of the new menu's and features.

Movie Review: Fast service
Summary: 4 Stars

I received my order in great time.
The item was intact and seemed to be in good condition.
I was ordering for someone else so I don't really know if the DVD was good quality.
I'm sure that if it weren't I would have been told.
Thank you, lynn

Digimon- The Movie
I was a huge fan of Digimon for the first 3 seasons. Coming home and watching Digimon was great. When I heard a movie was coming out it was natural that I buy it. Sadly, this movie isn't that great.

Digimon is a story of kids that go to summer camp and become magically sucked into a digital world. The kids eventually each get their own Digimon (Digital Monster). Digimon are basically the cooler version of Pokemon characters. The storyline goes that they are trying to escape the digital world and end up on a huge epic adventure that would even carry on into their second season.

This movie took place at multiple different times in the kids' lives. It begins with Tai and his sister Kari meeting their first Digimon when they were extremely young. The Digimon is Agumon, but not the one Tai would become associated with later. This Agumon was huge and had an attitude. This leads to a surprisingly emotional battle that sees Tai awakening a downed Greymon (Agumon's Digivolved form) with a whistle. It really is a great scene.

The story carries on to a point after Season 1 took place. The kids have left the Digital World and it doesn't look like they'll ever see their digital friends again. Suddenly a virus begins attacking the Internet. Izzy, another Digidestine, would discover that it is a Digimon. Tai and Izzy eventually obtain their Digimon and work to fight off the virus Digimon, who starts launching nuclear missiles. Matt and T.K. join in and help the fight. This leads to another great moment when even their strongest Digimon can't win and incoming E-Mails are slowing them down considerably. Tai and Matt become part of the Digital World again and enter the Internet. Tai and Matt are pleading with their Digimon to feel the strength of all the people that depend on them. This leads to the very first DNA Digivolve.

The next part of the story takes place during Season 2. You see new characters like Davis who is now the leader, and an annoying one at that. The only familiar characters you get are Kari and T.K. This is the part of the story I don't enjoy. I feel like the dialogue takes a nosedive and no emotion can be garnered in this part. Anyway, it turns out that the virus never went away and just entered another Digimon. This Digimon belongs to a loner named Willis who actually starting the virus thinking it would give him more Digimon. At this point in the movie you feel a complete lack of emotion. I think this is widely due to Davis being such a lousy character and most of the battles being made to look like jokes.

If you love Digimon, I would buy this. If not you probably didn't even need this review to make your decision. I just feel let down by the final part of this video.

Summary of Digimon - The Movie [VHS]

When a powerful new Internet Digimon hatches and begins to consume data at an alarming rate, the Digidestined - kids chosen to save the digital world - must put an end to the destruction before the damage becomes irreversible and worldwide communication halts forever. As computer-based missiles are launched, and a wayward Digimon kidnaps the Digidestined, only the combined efforts of a worldwide network of kids and a new group of "Digidestined" can rescue the others and stop global disaster.

Like the similar Pok?mon craze, the animated Digimon TV series has spawned a full-length theatrical film. The two phenomena are similar: kids collect monsters and go on adventures. While Pok?mon has a sense of odyssey and a wisp of a moral, Digimon is flat-out rough-and-tumble adventure. Can an adult figure out the digi-details of the digi-world? Here's a digi-shot. That world is full of evolving monsters that live and fight in their own ways. The digi-world and real world can intermix, and one of the portals is the Internet. So kids sit at their laptops and fight with their digi-monsters in an abstract environment that looks like something from Tron but with none of the cool. The first 50 of 83 minutes is backstory that takes place eight years earlier. So everyone is grown up (as the time frame leaps over all the original Digimon TV shows), and Digimon and humans interact on Earth. A bad digi-virus is bent on revenge, and it will take more than a laptop to defend the planet. That said, if the end of the world ever looms, a golden digi-egg will be a good thing to have. (Ages 6 to 12) --Doug Thomas
