Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

I wanted to but couldn't!

Absolutely Fantastic

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

For being a self contained story, with no build-up for the antagonists, this is structured really well. You can see elements from the Saiyan Saga, as well as the Ginyu and Frieza Sagas, but it doesn't feel super condensed like "Mythical Adventure" was. The action's good, the humor's good, and the plot's easy enough to follow. The biggest problem the movie has is Dr. Wheelo himself. He's not as interesting as Garlic Jr. was, and his plan, while evil, seems more suited for "Dragon Ball", instead of DBZ. Aside from that though, there's not much to complain about. If you're a fan of DBZ, check this out, there's a lot to like about it, and it's a quick sit.

I don't know how this movie fared on the market yet I liked it. The movie unlike others, (others meaning ones translated by FunImation) kept the original musical score. BIG +. Though dialogue at times was a little naff (writer Christopher Neel), I was simply too hooked into the fight scenes to notice. Goku vs Piccolo, as evil as he was, had to take the cake. Especially when Piccolo smacked Gohan round. You got to see everyone fight, even Master Roshi which was pretty cool. I really liked the detail in this movie. Being set in the mountains, steam was drawn wafting from the characters mouths at points. A nice touch.The plot was decent enough. Dr. Wheelo even got a little history thrown in. His three elite fighters if I recall had next to no lines, so they kept a real evil air about them when fighting. As for bad points. The voice chosen for Dr. Wheelo was somewhat annoying and he tended to have rather bad lines. He could have been made much more evil than what he was. Many a time lines were just the problem, if only he had said that instead of *sneer* .... that. It was also some what uninventive that Goku finished with the spirit bomb attack. If all else fails I guess. But overall I did like this film, it is the better of the few I have seen."I am my own best quote"

It is without a doubt, the best in the trilogy of films. The DVD has kick-a** sound. The plot is pretty standard, world is threatend by an evil madman, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway this film is much better than Dead Zone, and 100 times better than Tree of Might. All it needs now is 79 minutes of new footage. Grade: A

Although it probably helps if you are already familiar with the characters and storyline of the Dragonball Z series, it is not a necessity. The animation of Dragonball Z has always focused on fighting, and this movie is no exception. If you've never seen this series and you're wondering what you're missing, this is a good place to start. I also recommend seeing "Dragonball Z: Dead Zone" if you get the chance. Both are must-sees for any die-hard fan.
