This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The acting in this movie is really good.
This film definitely has great action, but as do they all don't they?? So, let me go straight to the negatives. First off , there isn't much to the story but fighting here. Even for a DBZ film, I got annoyed here. The androids kind of just show up and what else can I say? The look of this one is great I will add though, and I love the ice setting for the fight. Now the dubbed version is great with the comedic aspects of the film, my favorite scene being when Vegeta first punches super android 13, only to find no result at all. "What the--??". He then fires on him with several punches and it was a funny yet tight. Loved it!! The action here is brutal and I think fans will bump the film up a notch or two due to this, but then there is android 13 and that accent. I don't quite understand why the dubbers thought that'd be a good choice for the main villain but if they must...The only thing more horrendous then that whole aspect of the film is Trunks's line,"We'll see you Red Ribbon redneck". Whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA!! What movie was I watching?? Surely an attempt to spice up the villains' conflict with the other Z fighters other than the overly stated fact that their prime initiative is to kill Goku. Yes, we get it by now...
I was really let down by this movie. It's not really anything but the story. I love the animation, the fighting, and the voice acting, I just hate Androids. The androids are the worst part of Dragon Ball Z and the films. Cell's the only on that slides by. I find them pointless. So naturally a movie about androids will not appeal to me. Androids in the DBZ series seem like bad rip offs from the Terminator series, (Robots that dominate the future come to the past to kill the ones who can threaten their future. And a human comes to warn the people about them) Hm......pretty similar.....so I really can't like this movie that much but I still do like some parts.
SpoilersAfter hearing so many good things about this movie, I was sure I was going to be in for a real treat. Now, after watching it twice, I wonder: what were all of those people smoking!? This film is horrible, with bad music, a horrible story, and uninspiring characters.The fights between Goku, Trunks, Vegeta, and the new androids were horribly uneven. The three of them are getting beaten up badly by the androids even after going super saiyajin, which has a very cliche' scene of Trunks and Vegeta "just barely" defeating their android opponents. What suprises me is Trunks is actually able to kill no. 14 with his useless sword. Anyway, I won't spoil the ending, but since there's nothing worth spoiling, I'll just dwelve into more of the bad points. First, the Japanese title of the film(The Three Super Saiyajin) is one of the most misleading titles in existence. The three of them only go SSJ for ONE MINUTE! NO, I'M NOT KIDDING, THEY ONLY STAY IN SUPER SAIYAJIN FORM FOR A SINGLE MINUTE! And even though the movie's horribly short, that's not much time. Also, most of the film is donated to Kuririn acting like an idiot. He serves no purpose except to be the butt of the writer's cruel jokes(like almost have his face fried by a stray energy blast). The ending is unwatchable. I am going to say this: there is NO WAY Goku would be able to defeat Super 13 the way he did.BOTTOM LINE: If you've bought the DVD, I have two suggestions: 1., Sell it at a movie dealer(if they're actually crazy enough to buy it), or 2., use it as a frisbee. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!
When I saw this movie, Dragonball Z: Kyokugen battle!! San dai super saiyajin (Dragonball Z Movie 7) I thought it would be interesting. Instead, all I got was 3 androids kicking Goku and Trunks's asses. My fav movie in the DBZ series is Movie 13 (exploding dragonball fist). If you want to find out more about androids and how Android 13, 14, and 15 fight and merge into Super 13, be my guest. 5 stars. Could do much better....
