Dragon Ball Z: O Retorno dos Androides

In my opinion this is one of the most forgettable DBZ movies. The villains aren't interesting and Android 13 is way too overpowered.

It is smart the idea of exploring the numbers before 17 but well, I didn't like this one. I felt it was repetitive and the way he was beaten in the end not satisfying (it was creative, for sure), because as I said, he was too overpowered. The heroes couldn't even make him falter.

This guy is just like Broly. A villain so powerful that must be beaten by Deus ex Machina. Maybe the best thing about this one is that the Z Warriors are able to beat some of the villains, and that's not up to Goku alone.

Yes, the gang must once again unite in a movie to take on a threat that could not possibly exist in the regular series time line. This one has three androids activated to take on Goku after Dr. Gero's death. Granted, it does make sense that there were other androids, but there is really no place for this particular battle to occur. Of course, that is par for the course in a Dragonball Z movie, then it is not to surprising as the series does not really allow for there to be an other battles than those you see. It is funny to have Goku shopping with Chi Chi at the beginning and the fight is somewhat cool. Vegeta is once again in a movie, I think this was the second film he was in and he does a bit in this one, still he never really got to impress all that much in the movies typically being over matched to the extreme with Goku doing most of the work. Like most of the films, this one too could have benefited having about ten or fifteen minutes more to develop the story more and add some more punch to the final fight. The only movie in the series to have a decent run time would be the next film featuring Broly. This one though is somewhat good and it is nice that they have three androids for the three Super Saiyans to fight at one point so you get to see them all do their thing before the obvious thing happens and Goku must summon his strength to win.

This is a completely story-less, low-content and suspense-less movie, (more a lengthy TV episode) It's not worth standing on a shelf with other Dragonball Z movies this junk has nothing to offer, the music is stinky boring, just like the fights, the characters the whole presentation and the little content I can not recommend anyone to look at it. The animation is nice, and at least the some fights are well animated.

When I saw this movie, Dragonball Z: Kyokugen battle!! San dai super saiyajin (Dragonball Z Movie 7) I thought it would be interesting. Instead, all I got was 3 androids kicking Goku and Trunks's asses. My fav movie in the DBZ series is Movie 13 (exploding dragonball fist). If you want to find out more about androids and how Android 13, 14, and 15 fight and merge into Super 13, be my guest. 5 stars. Could do much better....

I do understand this film isn't really canon to the Dragon Ball Z saga. But the movie is actually really fun to watch. The fact that Android 13 is a redneck trucker makes this so much better. You gotta love how he talks in the film with his southern redneck accent actually makes it pretty hilarious. Like "Don't you lecture me with yo $30 haircut, GOKU DIES!" You have to understand it's not often you hear enemies with an accent like that in any portion of the Dragon Ball Z series, or in the films or specials. I believe that the way they made android 13 out to be makes this one of the more unique and pretty much a fan favorite Dragon Ball Z film, you gotta admit!
