Digimon Adventure 02: El Comienzo

If you're watching 02 - the beginning right after Last Evolution Kizuna, you may end up with more questions than satisfaction.

While the timeline placement does follow the events of Kizuna, the 02 kids don't have a whole lot of emotional consequences compared to what Taichi and Yamato and the 01 gang went through (you do get a blink-and-miss cameo.) The Beginning feels like another Tri episode and the majority of the film is focused on Lui and Ukkomon.

The dub did have confused moments where Jogress and DNA digivolve were intertwined plenty of times. Also the fate of the 6 is pretty questionable as they currently have alternative tools for digivolution.

Hope this isn't the end of Adventure and more is in the offering from Toei. Here's hoping Toei will continue this path of Adventure films as canonically, they have like 15 years left before the end game epilogue (unless that plans to be retconned.)

In saw the film last weekend, and I think is a good film to introduce a new films about Digimon.

But, for this reason, you can see a "large chapter" very repetitive about the story. So, you can see the "problem" about the relationship between childs and digimons.

Well, in this film we can see the Digimon's Beginning, How start all. But well, you can see a new boy, and a powerful digimon...

I hope a new digimon, or a more action, but in this case I saw a big drama about "the bad past" about the new boy.

And the ending, the battle was very poor and nothing about the relationship about digimons and the childs.

The story was just badly put together. While it does take place 2 years after Last Evolution it makes the build up of that movie and the message it was trying to make obsolete and makes holes in the plot of tri (not to mention the the setup tri did). So the 01 cast basically have to suffer as they grow but the 02 don't have to worry about losing their mons? I'm pretty sure this movie was made just to cash in on the nostalgia. But i did enjoy the 2d animated evolution scenes. And they did a great job at making a great new character (the movie ally) very sympathetic. In short if you love digital monsters please spend the hour and a half doing something else.

Nothing in this film makes any sense. It's just a set of set-pieces strung together, no logic to any of it. The writers know the effects they want to achieve, but don't put enough effort into getting there. It's a typical sentimental Japanese effort. All presentation, no content.

The story centres on the childhood trauma of some character called Lui. However, the story doesn't have the courage of its convictions and wipes it all out at the end, for reasons that aren't really very clear. Somehow this is supposed to be terribly significant for the world of Digimon, but it doesn't really come across.

4 stars for some atmospheric visuals. I'll stick to Pokemon, at least their films have plots.

This movie feels like it should have been a plot for an Episode in the series and not a whole ahh movie they could have done better, i was afraid this was gonna be a bit of nostalgia bait im happy to say i didn't have to pay any money for watching the movie because i don't like having to fund nostalgia bait to get my money. Im gonna say i am a bit disappointed but im happy that we got another movie with the season 2 cast which were my favorites and i grew up watching more that season that the first one, but yeah they kind of did us dirty and the plot of this movie makes no damn sense, could it be a translation issue, how did he make the Digimon bonds and the chosen ones a thing if Taichi and his sister encountered Agumon in 1995, and Lui had Ukkomon in Feb 1996 that shi makes no damn sense.
