Intro

Bronwyn announces the new molly-o media store on Marlee Oh Mediacom, featuring branded merchandise like t-shirts and Kindle books. She encourages viewers to subscribe to the channel and follow her on Twitter and Facebook.

Initial Retraction and Disappointment

The reviewer retracts previous criticisms of the Digimon Adventure anime after watching the Digimon movie. She expresses disbelief at the movie's incoherence, comparing it to the Tom Cruise reboot of The Mummy in terms of quality.

Digimon Since Season 2

Since the end of the second season, there has been more Digimon content, including an OVA called Digimon Try, which takes place three years after the second season, with the characters in high school. The reviewer mentions that it's not really that bad to begin with.

Digimon Movie Review: A Frankenstein of OVAs

The reviewer discusses the Digimon movie, which is a compilation of three different OVAs with completely different stories. She criticizes the movie's structure, comparing it to a Frankenstein's monster. The first part retells the prologue of the first season, but starts with an Anaconda segment.

Part 1: Retelling the Prologue

The first part of the movie retells the prologue of the first season, depicting the fight between a giant parrot and a dinosaur. It shows the teleportation of a digi-egg into the real world from a computer. The Digimon rapidly digivolves despite not fighting, while late 90s pop music plays in the background.

Part 2: Preventing a Nuclear War

The second part of the movie, set shortly after the first season finale, involves Ty and Izzy staring at computer screens to prevent a nuclear war. The reviewer criticizes this segment as a shittier version of the Y2K computer glitch, with characters simply staring at their computers. They communicate with their Digimon through the computer to combat a virus in the digital world.

Part 3: Willis and Kokomon

The third part of the movie catches up with the cast of Digimon 02 and introduces Willis, whose Digimon, Kokomon, is running amok. Davis and the other kids travel to Colorado to subdue Kokomon. After a fight, they decide to kill him, but he digivolves back into a digi-egg.

Conclusion

The reviewer expresses relief that the review is finally over, indicating her dissatisfaction with the movie. She mentions having "far bigger fish to fry now," implying she has other, more important topics to address. She signs off, ending the review.
