The more self contained Digimon stories have the problem of relying on the audience already being large enough fans to know what is going on beforehand, such as X-Evolution.
I'd argue Tamers does. It's grounded in our reality and spends most of the time in our reality. The trek to the Digital World can be rewritten to taking place in our reality or possibly exploring virtual reality.
However, I am not opposed to the idea of "portal to another world" scenario for Digimon. The difference between that and say Smurfs is Digimon is primarily set in the Digital World and with human children being the "chosen ones" or "digidestineds" thus portals are kinda necessary. At least the use of portals serve a purpose to the narrative and are creative ones at that. The portals used in movies such as Smurfs is they happen to come across it with virtually no explanation, it doesn't exist in the source material, and it serves solely as a plot device to unite the familiar characters with newly created human characters (from "our" world trope) to interact with the established characters because the studio has no faith in those characters carrying a movie on their own. Digimon already has established human characters for the Digimon to interact with and strong enough character development to carry a film. It really just comes down to picking the right story arch to adapt.
