Dragon Ball Z : Les Mercenaires de l'espace

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. ***

If you to see action and exposure this dragon ball z movie for you the only part that I did not like was villain he so boring the fight was good though I give b.

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.

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

This DragonBall Z movie was rather entertaining, it just suffers the same flaw a lot of the movies do. They generally have all this lead up, a fight with some underlings, and then you have your fight between the two strongest warriors only to be left disappointed in the fact that the fight is very anti-climatic. This one features the DragonBall Z gang in the martial arts tournament, which for some reason in this movie is full of gimmicks. Some entertainment to be found here as I enjoyed the Tien and Trunks fight. Then this tournament goes onto a second phase, here though some rather unruly participants get involved and start causing major trouble. So the fighting begins between the Z fighters and the strange assortment of villains led by Bojak or whatever his name may be in Japan. It has its moments, but it is also a bit of a disappointment when compared to other movies from the series. Like most of the movies you can usually not fit this one into the flow of the regular series all that well, though it fits a bit better than others. It almost works, but then it doesn't, like the fact Trunks supposedly comes back from the future to fight in a pointless tournament other than help rebuild the decimated Earth from his time. This one also features a one note villain who has absolutely no back story whatsoever. Still, some cool fights here and there and you get to see Mr. Satan who is called Hercule in America. Though I guess it may be a negative to some that he is in this.
