Dragon Ball Z: A Batalha nos Dois Mundos

A movie which feels like a canon. Fits perfectly in the timeline.

This one has many reasons for being among the best DBZ movies.

First of all, one of the best elements in these movies is the humor. It's soft, well-placed and most importantly, funny. This is not different, and I dare say it is one of the best in this factor. I had a lot of laughs.

Here we have an opportunity to see unusual fights never to be seen in the anime. Trunks vs. Tenshin, Piccolo vs. Krillin, which ends in a very funny manner. And other cool fights vs the galaxy bandits.

Another good point is that Goku is not the main hero here, and don't take me badly, it is kinda boring to see Goku always beating up the bad guys in the end. As he is dead here, the job is done by Gohan, and we're able not only to see him as a super saiyan 2 again, but also with an alternative outfit, in his father memory.

The only complaint I have is that I would like to see some of the bad guys beaten by more Z Warriors, and here all of them were taken out by the almighty half-breed.

I miss the time when Dragon Ball wasn't just "The Goku and Vegeta Show".

And while I know this movie is completely non-canonical, but I still like to see it as some sort of epilogue for the Cell saga, giving Future Trunks a last chance to shine (And honestly, the Future Trunks arc from Dragon Ball Super was simply awful)

The villains were a bit generic, but the setting was interesting, very fun to watch.

A great entry with Gohan as the main fighter in an intergalactic martial arts tournament hosted by Mr. Satan. Mr. Satan's responses to the Z fighters in action provides some great comedic relief. Goku is in Otherworld with King Kai somehow watching the tournament on a tv. I like the small changes to the usual DBZ movie format. Each Z fighter's motivation is different from the usual "we're all here to save the planet." Vegeta arrives for Trunks, Piccolo for Gohan, and Tien & Yamcha to do what's right. Vegeta arriving by blocking an enemies blade aimed at Trunks and landing his sword on his back was so badass. I absolutely love Gohan as the main protagonist. He is full of heart when he goes super Saiyan but his flip switches when he goes beyond. Unlike Goku, he doesn't take time to feel out his opponent or give them a chance, he just goes for the kill. Rightfully so as Bojack and his cronies are true evil. He's a decent villain but their power sets are their best feature. I'm looking forward to more Gohan centered films and less of the energy sharing finale bs.

I think this is one of the best Dragonball Z movies and people here seem to agree with me. I think it's because it just has the traditional feeling of the series. The only fault is that the villain isn't that good. He doesn't appear until halfway through the movie! That's weird, given how short the movie is. I still liked this because it really did everything that made the DBZ show so good. I guess I just like the idea of everything being set up as a tournament. It's great to see all these familiar faces back.

It really helps being a fan of the show as you recognize all of the great characters. Everyone here acts in character. I like how it's set up, with them talking about Goku dying. Then again, it does say Trunks already beat the Androids so that seems to imply he came back to the present timeline. It doesn't matter, because it's still nice. I especially like when Bulma and Chi Chi are fighting over which of their sons is better! Vegeta is great in this and even though he's not that relevant it's nice to see what he's been up since Goku died. ***
