I was disappointed at what happened to Paragus. Thought he had potential to be a good villain in some future movie or somethin', who unlike his son, actually had personality, but alas. We didn't even get to see him fight. Waste of a Saiyan there...
The first Broly movie pretty much went downhill for me after that part.

It's really not that hard.
Saw it again today, though. Much better than what I first thought, but still not amazing. Broly's a cool character, but there were nothing but plot holes and animation errors all over the movie. Still, solid plot and good action. I up my grade from a 2.5 to a 3.5/5.

Indeed 13 is the only one with the knowledge of how to easily defeat a SSJ with one blow.
Destroyed Vegeta's back too.
Surprisingly, there was a LOT of decent Dragonball Z movies.
1 - History of Bardock.
Easily the best one in my mind. Not just because the movie's quality and plot seems to be vastly superior to the others, but also because of its importance to the DBZ verse. This is Goku's creation and one of Frieza's greatest crimes.
2 - History of Trunks/ Super Android 13
Once again, the history of trunks was of immense importance to the DBZ verse. It was very interesting the witness the future where the androids defeated Goku and so on. Android 13 had a relatively predictable plot, but the characters in it were descent. Android 13 was especially well crafted, in my opinion.
3 - Tree of might
Turles - 'nuff said.
4 - First Broly movie
They wasted a decent villain here, Broly's father. His death proves that in the DBZ verse, brains counts for nothing as far as villains go. Regardless, Broly was fun the first time around. In the end however they cheaped out and let Goku defeat him in what should've been a collective effort.
5 - Fusion Reborn
I actually liked Janemba as a villain, being pure hate, evil and chaos. What I didn't like as much was the whole earth sideplot. Always great to see Pikkon!

I have to ask: What's with all of the "Lord Slug" hate? I thought it was awesome.
That's the thing, I used to think so too until I watched it a second time, where I realized it was probably my vote for second or third worst. The main piece of appeal that was so often commercialized turned out to last even shorter in the movie than Gogeta in Fusion Reborn, with even LESS mention in the actual story. It gave a really dumb plot-based weakness to the namekians, The villain sucked (the best movie villains are Cooler, Broly, and Garlic Jr. bar none) and was one of too many at the time to go out with the most PIS attack in the series. Broly may have been finished off in the first movie in a similar fashion, but at least he had a second flick where he was defeated in one of my favorite villain death scenes. Most of the better movies are the ones that DON'T involve Goku using the Spirit Bomb or something similar, because they actually have a good start instead of winging it with a rushed-out "meteor coming to destroy earth" jazz, and don't even have it raze the surface.
As for Paragus, I never saw the appeal in him. He was in the same league of importance as that short wizard from Wrath of the Dragon (to give the main villain some sort of background, but that's really not that necessary for something like Dragonball Z), just less of a dipsh*t, and died in an almost equally pathetic way.
Dead Zone - I love because it more "Dragonball" than "DBZ"" showing that Kami wasnt the only one wanting the position of Earths god i liked, adds more complexity to the Kami/ Piccolo background, Piccolo/Goku vs Garlic jr fight starts out good but then the animation goes downt he drain which brings it down.
Worlds Strongest - Yeahh pretty cool, a scientists as the villian, different for DBZ atleast
Tree of might - Turles being the real star of this movie, was cool seeing goku fight a saiyan that mirrors who he could have become.
Lord Slug - Plot erm.KIng Piccolo much, fight scenes pretty cool, especially like when goku hits slug then slug slaps him through a window, Piccolo is pretty badass in this movie but is beaten wayy to easy.
Cooler Revenge - Frieza had a brother, who knew!? Considering the Epic scale of frieza and gokus fight cooler and gokus battle is a little weak, but it has some cool elements and coolers 5th form looks awesome
Return of cooler - animation and colouring is lacking, plot is ok, and so is the fight scene, nothing really special here. Kirllin adds soem comic relief as he does =D
Bardock - great movie, frieza destroying the planet vegeta seems to b the pinicle point in DBZ history how it happened and why is shown here in great style
Super android 13 - android 13 is cool super 13 is the most brutal villain iv seen in dbz, hitting goku in the ....uno loved it, ok move at the end of the day......
History of Trunks - a personal let down, i expected trunks tme to be a much darker place but ti wasnt, the rap music wasnt apreciated either, mehh..
Bojack Unbound - first dbz movie i ever seen, animation is great throughout, good amount of blood. Bojacks backstory i liked altough not much detail is given then again this is DBZ, overall a decent anime movie
Broly - the daddy of them all, the longest dbz movie, altough animation goes back and fourth, the last 25mins or so are excellent, gokus struggle against the legendary super saiyan is one for the history books, brillaint movie
Broly second comming - big let down, but the more i watche dit the more i liked it, still not a big fan of it, i mean broy nearly gettign kiled by larva, videl surviving fighting him broly actually getting killed by being blasted through the sun, they didnt give the legendary super saiyan enough credit here, animation is great though
Bio-Broly - here Broly really just becomes a side enemy for goten and trunks, animation i sgood but thats about all this ove has going for it, avoid this one!!
Fusion Reborn - hmmm pretty cool altough it could have been longer as janemba is very cool, overall this was a good movie but it could ahve been sooo much better!!
Wrath of the Dragon - Great movie, long, great animation funny and great fight scenes this move fails to disspoint, one of the few DBZ gems!!
Plan to destroy the saiyans - if counted as a movie it is pretty cool, anmation can be lacking but most hardcore DBZ fans should see this!
Y
YO! SOn goku and his friends return - very enjoyablee, altough character strength is debatable in this one, once again a blast from the past with remnats from friezas army heading to earth, overal a good moive, nothing too serious just a reminder of how much we all loved DBZ!!
and last AND deffinately LEAST!!!....
Dragonball ...Evolution... 2 words describe this moive.. EPIC FAIL !!!!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! EVEN bio broy puts this garbage to shame pfft!!!
