5.0 out of 5 stars A grand send off to the other side of DBZ, September 23, 2006

This review is from: Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon (DVD)

It's fairly well known that the Movies never really fit in the Dragon Ball Z universe. Granted one or two of them did so (Bardock, History of Trunks, Dead Zone) most of them were more of an "Elseworlds" tale. Wrath of the Dragon fits in the tradtion of the "Elseworlds" tales, but also in a small way can fit into the DBZ universe itself.

Wrath of the Dragon is about a sorceror who tricks the Z fighters to release a legendary hero Tapion using the Dragon Balls. The problem with this is that Tapion has half of an evil demon Hirudegarn. As Tapion struggles with the demon, the other half of it starts creating chaos on earth. Eventually the Z fighters learn the truth and attempt to destroy the beast.

This is one of the best Z movies, and is also one of the longest. The inner struggle with Tapion is realy well done, and the friendship he gains with Trunks is memorable. This story is also quite a bit of a Trunks story as a few revelations are also revealed during this tale. Overall this is one of the best Z movies, and is a great send off to a legendary series

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for Dragon Ball fans., June 28, 2006

Joshua 'P' (Modesto, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon (DVD)

One of a handful of stories written by Toei Animation worthy of the Toriyama original story. The film moves quick, the action is fun an intense, the characters are in full development (even the new addtions) and Dragon Fist! is just a kickass looking attack. One interesting point of the story is how it moves from one character to the next, being passed along, so it isn't focusing on a singular character. Something the other movies didn't really do. Because of this, it feels more like an American animated film (except in art style, naturally) and this brings my single complaint; It isn't long enough. The story could've been even better if played around with me. But I suppose Japanese children and teens don't have high enough attention spans... ?

5.0 out of 5 stars Movie #13 finally on DVD...!!!, January 10, 2007

This review is from: Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon (DVD)

This is by far one of the best DBZ movies, but unfortunately it is also the final.
If your a DragonBall fan I highly recommend this movie.

Watching Son Gohan battling the lower half of Hirudegarn in the middle of the city is just amazing,
And not to mention this is also where you get to see Son Goku use his Ryu-Gen (Exploding Dragon Fist) for the first time.

Definately 5 Stars
