Movie Reviews of Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon
Movie Review: Great Dragon Ball Z movie - horrible title
Summary: 5 Stars
The last two DBZ movies along with the Trunks and Bardock specials are classics...I say this after watching the Funi-dubs and the subtitled ones. The great thing about this movie is that it could fit into the Dragon Ball Z storyline (between the tournament saga and Buu). Tapion, as the hero was great too. The story actually had time to developed (unlike the super 17 movie and the Brolly movies).
I am not going to give a summary of the movie just some observations.
1. Watched the Japanese versions first, they contain the ORIGINAL audio and MUSIC, which was great for this one, the closing song..."If I can't do it...who will" is much cooler than the generic DBZ music from Funi.
2. The title "Wrath of the Dragon" does not match the actual movie. The "Dragon Punch" was the closing move that kills the bad guy. Goku does this move only once, as he appeared as SSJ 3.
3. This is one of the few movies that does not have Goku doing a Kamehame ha wave or a Genki-dama (spirit bomb). I find this refreshing.
4. After watching this a few times, I realized that Trunks could have killed the monster using the sword (like tapion did originally), but Goku, in his cocky SSJ 3 mode, told him "He's mine...I'll take care of this".
5. For a movie being based on his son, you do not see enough Vegeta. I thought he was dead in this movie, until he appeared outside of the office building.
6. See Adult Gohan not being able to go to SSJ 2 anymore frustrates me! Is it just me but did they turn Gohan into a wimp after he met Videl. (At least he's not as weak as Teenage Goten in GT, that's down-right insulting!
Overall "Exploding Dragon Punch!!! If Goku doesn't do it, Who can???" was a visual treat. Nice send off on Dragon ball Z Toryama-sensei.
