History YMMV / DigimonAdventure02TheBeginning

* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:The only threat [=BigUkkomon=] poses is that it is trying to give every human on the planet a Digimon Partner against their will. Despite its massive size, it's not that strong, and no new evolutions are required to defeat it. The only Digimon it defeats is Angewomon, but Silphymon and Shakkoumon don't have much trouble with its giant tentacles. Imperialdramon: Fighter Mode is capable of pulling the massive monstrosity with relatively little difficulty and destroys [=BigUkkomon=] with a single Giga Death. This makes [=BigUkkomon=] arguably the weakest final boss of its level from the ''Adventure'' continuity, as even [[Recap/DigimonAdventure02M1TranscendentEvolutionTheGoldenDigimentals Cherubimon]] could only be defeated from the inside. The billions of Digi-Eggs from [=BigUkkomon=] never even hatch.]]

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: People who were dissatisfied with ''Anime/DigimonAdventureTri'' and ''Anime/DigimonAdventureLastEvolutionKizuna'' because of Meiko and Menoa taking away focus and screentime from the old characters (and arguably even before that the same could be said about Willis in ''[[Recap/DigimonAdventure02M1TranscendentEvolutionTheGoldenDigimentals Hurricane Touchdown!]]'', as well as characters from movies outside the ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' continuity, including Minami in ''[[Recap/DigimonTamersM1BattleOfAdventurers Battle of Adventurers]]'', Kotemon and Bearmon in ''[[Recap/DigimonFrontierMovieIslandOfLostDigimon Island of Lost Digimon]]'', and Rhythm in ''Ultimate Power! Activate Burst Mode!!''), are tired of Lui being yet another character of that kind. Some think it's even worse, since Lui is the sole focus of the movie, unlike Meiko and Menoa, although his character writing and development mitigates the problem for some.

* TheWoobie: Lui suffered from an abusive childhood and a broken family, but Ukkomon's desire to make him happy allowed him to escape that situation for seven years. When he learns the truth about the nature of Ukkomon's wish granting, he's horrified, his family ends up broken again, and he wasn't able to move on from that for the next 9 years.

* ContrivedCoincidence: Lui and Ukkomon apparently spent 8 years together in the real world, the early years of which would definitely not be normal, and not only is this never explained [[spoiler:the two supposedly never once talked about what Ukkomon was doing nor became close enough to consider each other "friends" on more than a surface level.]]

* ContestedSequel: While it's commonly agreed that the film itself isn't bad and that Lui and Ukkomon aren't bad characters, many have voiced their disappointment in regards to this film being a continuation of the ''Adventure'' continuity, due the film's focus being entirely on Lui and Ukkomon rather than the established old cast which the audience were going in for. The character-focused drama also resulted in very little action within the movie, [[spoiler:Ukkomon being a less threatening opponent than past enemies, as neither of the ''02'' needed new evolution to defeat it]], making it an anti-climatic battle. It doesn't help that this is yet another film that has a new character that takes away screentime from the old characters.

* TheyWastedaPerfectlyGoodPlot: With ''Anime/DigimonAdventureTri'' giving the rest of the Adventure Digidestined their Mega forms, and ''Anime/DigimonAdventureLastEvolutionKizuna'' giving Agumon and Gabumon new forms, plenty were expecting the 02 kids to get new evolutions in this movie, most expecting Veemon, Wormmon, Armadillomon, and Hawkmon to finally get their own Ultimate and Mega stages. [[spoiler:None of them get any new forms, and all they use to defeat Ukkomon is the same DNA Digivolutions they've always used]].
