Favorite Dragon Ball Movies?

#1

Post by I REALLY HATE POKEMON! » Thu Aug 07, 2008 6:51 pm

Not just DBZ, you could pick DB/GT ones as well. Mine is DBZ: Cooler's Revenge. Good God, it's the coolest movie ever. The music (by real bands no less) fits the action superbly, the animation is smooth and awesome and whoever did Cooler's voice is badass.

I used to own it on VHS a while back but I heard other versions use basic Japanese DBZ music. The whole trumpet bullsh*t and all.

To be fair, I haven't seen them all yet. Thanks to YouTube I will soon see virtually everything I could ever think of. Thank God for this site!

I stopped enjoying the Dragon Ball franchies awhile ago I do admit to liking it in the past. Hmm time to check my memery to see if I can recall any DGZ movies I liked. Ah yes I thought the movies "Dead Zone", "The world's Strongest", and "Tree of Life" were well done.

On the subject of youtube it has some good stuff on it but it's got alot of pointless stuff too, I just hope that the guys writing "monk' never deside to bring it up in thier show, I'd hate to see Adren Monk exposed to the mass stupidity of that site, with his Ubber OCD he'd never be able to leave the damn site.

None of them were that great.

But I'd have to say I liked Bardock: Father of Goku the best.

Haha, Monk. A decent show indeed.

The Bardock movie was good as story material, not so much with action.

I think that's why it's his (and my) favorite movie.

It's not HEYIMEVILYOURGOODLETSFIGHT.

It's got plot.

The Bardock Movie's got plot, sure. Story too. Infact, so does Cooler's Revenge. Actually, the movie intertwines with The Bardock Movie right from the start.

The only movie I think was "ohh itsa badguy we gots to killz him!!!1!" was Bojack Unbound. It was cool but really random.

I forgot about Bardock it was very well done, also the more somber and subdued tone was a nice change of pace.

Who in the blue hell is Bojack?

Some random ass, stupid DBZ movie enemy. In itself it's a decent enough movie but really, as a part of DBZ it's almost an embarassment compared to the other movies.

Besides some decent standard DBZ action, no. I liked it because it had Yamcha in it. Other than that it was kind of crappy really.

Tree of Might and the Trunks backstory were both pretty good. Trunks had a cooler story than DBZ. It would've made a fantastic continuous storyline, if they didn't just slap him into the main DBZ timestream.

Well, what should have happend is they should have made a complete series based on the events of Trunk's timeline and expanded on it. That or throw him into the regular DBZ timeline and extend the story arc or something.

More detail on the future 'bad' timeline would have been awesome, I agree.
I only ever watched one DBZ movie, it was about 50 minutes long and the evil guy was a Namekian who grew to a huge size. It really wasn't that good. :/

EVIL TREE

I think practically everything in any japanese anime or video games ever can be somehow linked to an evil tree.
