Best/Worst Dragonball Z Movies

Slug was short of the paint-by-numbers movie villain made for the sake of giving the Spirit Bomb something to destroy. He was undeveloped, underutilized, and let's face it, it's a stupid-ass name. There wasn't a single fight scene that Tree of Might or Return of Cooler didn't do better. They couldn't even introduce the characters well when it actually came to the meteor coming to the earth. What we got from Lord Slug we got the same thing from Fusion Reborn, a commercialized plot point made into an anti-climactic scene in the actual movie.

Paint-by-numbers? Not even. He was totally badass, had a great voice, and beasted everyone in the calmest manner imaginable. The planet plot was awesome. The fight between Lord Slug and Goku is one of my favorite fights in any of the movies. The scene where Goku becomes Super Saiyan is so awesome that I stand up and cheer every time I see it.
Commercialized plot point? Hardly.

I am the devil? WTF. Well, it's better than what Broly said to Piccolo in the english dub at least.

Well for one thing, being defeated by whistling was pretty lame.

That is what he said to Piccolo in the English dub. 😐

I thought what Brad quoted was what he said in the english dub.

He said both.

Somebody disagree with my choices, so we can fight for 5 hours.

Goku didn't go SSJ in Movie 4, he went "Giji SSJ" which was like some false half-SSJ BS. SSJ0.5, if you will

He beasted everyone in the cockiest manner possible, same along the lines of Bojack and/or Turles. Broly was badass, Cooler was badass, Bardock wasn't even a villain, and he was more badass than some cranky old Namekian geezer chomping on pills. No matter the intention of the concept with the planet, they didn't execute it well at all what with abandoning it in the first tenth of the film, and even moreso gimmicky with how they managed to somehow attain the Dragonballs so soon is beyond me. Goku turning False super saiyan is nothing but wasted potential of what could have been the finishing touch on the villain ala SSJ2 Gohan against Bojack. THAT'S a scene worth standing up and cheering for, not that twenty second beat down that was cast aside like an empty can in favor of the Spirit Bomb.

The best DBZ Movie would be LSSJ Broly or Fusion Reborn.Worst would have to be Bio-Broly.

Path to Power, I reccommend. Its a great movie!!

I need to watch the rest of the original DB movies, iv seen sleeping princess in devils castle and i was half way through another one but it hadnt been fully uploaded, seeme ok though. it was the one where tsfuru-sennin fights, or launch shoots at him and he catches the bullets iv seen that clip..

No, because both Bojack and Turles were having more bigger trouble than they lead on. They were amazed by their enemy's power, which could be seen in their expressions. Lord Slug, however, had absolutely no trouble until the power fuse.

Broly was badass

He's a very mediocre character imo.

Cooler was badass

Definitely.

Bardock wasn't even a villain, and he was more badass

What do you mean "even"? Bardock was a ****ing beast. Probably my favorite character in the DBZ franchise.

than some cranky old Namekian geezer chomping on pills.

Cranky old geezer? He killed his top commander with his finger. I consider that awesome.

No matter the intention of the concept with the planet, they didn't execute it well at all what with abandoning it in the first tenth of the film

Yeah, that threw me off a little. Still kinda cool scene, though.

and even moreso gimmicky with how they managed to somehow attain the Dragonballs so soon is beyond me.

Are you serious? That was awesome. That whole scene demonstrated not only how efficient Slug's army was, but how many there were. Which made it even more awesome when they got their butts kicked.

Goku turning False super saiyan is nothing but wasted potential of what could have been the finishing touch on the villain ala SSJ2 Gohan against Bojack.

Except the Bojack thing, coming from a non-DBZ show person, made no sense to me. The FS thing was perfectly fine with me. What made it even more awesome was how after such an insane ass whooping, Slug was back on his feet and ready to play ball.

I up "Bardock" from a 4.5/5 to a 5/5, hand "History Of Trunks" a 4/5, and give "Bojack Unbound" a 2/5.

Well, I recently saw 5 Dragonball Z films again after a long period of time, and I have some new and similar opinions on them.

Dead Zone: Extremely entertaining, good enemy, and the entire feature plays out like a classic martial arts film. My only complaint is the drunken Gohan scenes, and Kami randomly lighting up. Both parts felt very out of place. And this is nitpicky, but it bothered me when Goku's hair returns immediately after being cut off. But it still has some of the best fights in the Dragonball franchise. Overall, though, it's a 4.5/5.

World's Strongest: Great feature with awesome fights, a solid plot, and strong animation. You can't help but cheer when Goku takes out the two Bio-Warriors. 5/5.

Tree Of Might: It's an alright movie, but it has a lot of flaws. For one, it had a lot of moments where I felt "was that necessary?", and while some of the fights were great, the battle with Turles himself felt lacking. What's worse still is that some of the dubbing felt off from the actual story, along with many of the nature-based moments feeling random. But still, Turles was a pretty good villain, Goku was great as always, and the fighting was pretty solid. 3.5/5.

Lord Slug: I'm sorry to those that disagree, but "Lord Slug" is still one of the best DB movies to me, and possibly one of my favorite things Dragonball. Sure, it has its faults, but it is just so entertaining. The fights are so cool, the music makes you tap your feet (Funimation version, at least), and Goku turning Super Saiyan just made me cheer. 5/5

Bojack Unbound: Wow, I like it even less now. Especially considering that this is supposed to follow up the Cell Saga, this movie is immensely lacking. Bojack is just... there, and the stakes feel unimpressive. 1.5/5

Tree of Might – I love this because the fight involves the minor characters, I love Yamcha’s spirit ball technique, it’s cool… 3/5

Father of Gokou – reminds me of Superman’s origin, nice story though…

Cooler’s Revenge – best movie IMO… 5/5

Cooler 2 – excellent sequel, this was launched in Philippine cinemas and I still remember how the people in the movie applauded and cheered both Piccolo and Vegeta’s entrance… 4/5

Legendary Super Saiyan – it’s okay but could’ve been better if Gokou’s revenge on Broly is much longer, not just a swift gut-shot… 3/5

Broly 2 – I don’t like the story but I like the ending… I mean, who would not like Gokou, Gohan and Goten blasting the hell out of Broly… 2/5

Bio-Broly – worst in my opinion… 1/5

Fusion Reborn – hate the story but Gogeta is uber-cool… 2/5

No, by the standards of DBZ, he's the best thingto come out fo the series since Cell and SSJ2 Gohan. His fights are some of the few where it's actually fun seeing one character rape five at once for thirty to forty minutes. And unlike Slug, he had a little thing called backstory that actually justified his place in the story; that's more than can be said for ALOT of DBZ villains, especially Slug.

What do you mean "even"? Bardock was a ****ing beast. Probably my favorite character in the DBZ franchise.

And unlike the biggest focuses of other movies he wasn't "even" a villain; the main protagonist in DBZ has never been more badass than the villains sans SSJ2 Gohan.

Cranky old geezer? He killed his top commander with his finger. I consider that awesome.

Did I say cranky? I meant menstrual. That, and it simply proves my previous point that his lackeys were handled even wworse than the ones in Tree of Might. Hell, Broly even did better there with how he killed his own father, given the fact that it was an actual plot point/twist as opposed to a simplistic venting of ruthlesness.

Yeah, that threw me off a little. Still kinda cool scene, though.

Rushed, is all that scene, plot point, and entire movie was afaic.

Are you serious? That was awesome. That whole scene demonstrated not only how efficient Slug's army was, but how many there were. Which made it even more awesome when they got their butts kicked.

No, it was, as I just stated, rushed. Efficiency doesn't mean jack if the plot can't justify, and the plot of Lord Slug didn't justify a damned thing, they just introduced one thing after another and dropped ten to thirty seconds later before it could even get interesting. Case in point, Goku's semi-super saiyan form. The only other to handle such anything near as badly was Fusion Reborn.

Except the Bojack thing, coming from a non-DBZ show person, made no sense to me. The FS thing was perfectly fine with me. What made it even more awesome was how after such an insane ass whooping, Slug was back on his feet and ready to play ball.

Nah, all that did was further destroy the purpose of what we were expecting to see of what the movie advertised most. That makes for a sh*t marketing gimmick which simply opens the way for subsequent movies to handle such a thing better. Which they did with Bojak Unbound's climax.

Bojack? His backround sucked. And how do they explain him "A stronger King Piccolo". Slug may be the same, but at least he was entertaining. Bojack just did the same moves villains before him did. Slug's thrashing was something else.

What, that Broly hated Goku for the fact he made him cry as a baby? Some backstory.

Exactly. Why do the villains even NEED a backstory? Why can't they just be cool?

And for the record, Medamatcha was AWESOME.
