StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

SlyGuy21 So after taking a 2 week break, I'm back to "Dragon Ball", and DBZ's next on my list to cover. So it'll be the same format I did last time, no written reviews for individual episodes, and at the end of each Saga I'll watch one of the many DBZ movies, and this is a great start. The story's simple, the action's good, all the Funimation voice actors I know and love are here, even Troy Baker of all people. Please tell me Troy Baker is in more of these movies, I love him so much. The plot isn't super complex, it's short and sweet, but it still has that heart and soul that makes "Dragon Ball" as a whole wonderful. There are also some pretty funny moments in it as well, it has a little bit of everything in it. Garlic Jr.'s a cool reimagining of Emperor Pilaf, only more of a threat. A fun movie with lots of action and heart. I look forward to seeing more.

stanton1 A pretty good prequel to the Dragon Ball Z Series overall. The major downfall of this film is the scripts for the voice actors. Everything they say seems rushed to make sure it fills in with the mouth movements of the characters. The voices are also fairly emotionless, "Just another day on the job" kinda deal.The fighting sequences are what you can expect from Dragon Ball, fast paced and entertaining, but ultimately end anti-climactic and rather quickly. The ending of this fight also doesn't fit very well with the show's timline, the example I can think of off the top of my head being the fact that Gohan's burst of power that pushes Garlic Jr. into the Dead Zone is never mentioned during the Vegeta Saga of the show where none of the shows characters appear to know how strong Gohan really is.The film does have some good points though, the main one being that it is entertaining enough to watch for 40 minutes or so without getting bored.

Op_Prime Hands down, Dead Zone is superior to Tree of Might and World's Strongest. The translation from Japanese to English is not too bad, way better than other anime series on today. Like the other Dragon Ball Z movies, the story is fast paced and exiting. The fight scenes are awesome and, as always, the best above all else. This is a must see, especially if you have already seen The Garlic Jr. Saga on the television series.

Aaron1375 Fast paced is the best way to describe this DBZ movie. Piccolo is apparently killed and Gohan gets kidnapped so Goku goes to the lair of Garlic jr an evil person with ambitions to rule the world, and who has already been granted immortality from the dragon. Battles ensue as Krillin joins the battle to help Goku rescue his son and the thought to be dead Piccolo also appears, but not to help, he just owes the henchmen a little pay back. All in all a pretty cool installment of DBZ.
