The battles at different points takes place during the evening under an orange sun set that looks really nice. There are also some nice background shots of the palace they battle in, and later on in the destroyed ruins of the place. Especially during one of the moments when Goku is dodging and blocking various attacks from the combined might of the main villains goons. The production values pretty much delivers the battles do utilize that boring reused cel format, but the energy attacks and minimum choreography provide the fun. Almost from the very beginning, the action begins and rarely lets up, and it's actually a real joy to watch. It feels a lot more like the Dragon Ball series, as it takes the viewer on a near non stop action-filled ride. must be a die hard fan of to consistently enjoy.ĭragon Ball Z: The Dead Zone is a pretty fun title. Dragon Ball Z is definitely an anime series you They become unbelievably gimmicky and that feel of a cash in is all over the place. The problem is, once you get pass the first batch of movies, you start to sense the lack of innovation and even creativity. Each of the following movies venture the exact same path, which is to provide the viewer with low brow entertainment through lots of action and comedy. When I look back on the very first DBZ movie, I always find it ironic how it's actually among the best in the line up. If you're a Dragon Ball fan, you're definitely going to enjoy watching Goku and company get into some new fights, just like I did. Opening and ending songs are the same as the series' japanese version ones. I guess the voice acting was just alright, but I prefer the original japanese voice actors, the ones that did the voices in the original 291-episodes series. I happened to watch the movie already dubbed in English. Art and animation, overall, was pretty good. The fight scenes remain as thrilling as they were in the series, too. employed in the series, with the same buffed up muscles we're all accustomed to see. It's not unique or original, but it at least entertains. The story revolves around the Dragon Balls, just like everything else related to this series some evil character appears and tries to grab a hold on the Dragon Balls in order to rule/destroy the world. However, most of the characters that were introduced exclusively for this movie are not developed. It develops the pre-existing characters very well. Each character follows the same personality they have in the series, holding every grudge, knowledge, technique, etc., they had up to the release date of this movie.
