      Audience Member By far, the best original Dragon Ball movie. Unlike other 3 Dragon Ball movies, this uses an original story and characters. Most importantly, it has all the charm and humor of the TV Series. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't really have any sort of strong feelings leaning either way. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member This was the second Dragon Ball movie released during the series' Japanese TV run. This, like the previous DB movie, is a re-telling of pivotal moments in the Dragon Ball TV series. This time, the story re-tells how Goku met Krillin and how the two boys began their training under the wise "Turtle Hermit", Master Roshi. In the movie, Master Roshi sends Goku and Krillin out to a spooky castle at the Devil's Hand to retrieve a "Sleeping Princess" in return for martial arts training. As they arrive, Goku's friends are captured by the castle's residents, Lucifer, and Igor and both he and Krillin must save Bulma from being used as an involuntary blood donor and prevent Lucifer from blowing up the sun and overrunning the Earth with monsters. This second movie is a bit more serious in tone, but has its share of hilarious moments recreated from the TV series. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Is a great film...but you never expect a vampire...thank God that was never included on the Dragon Ball anime...really x) Still I do recommend it if you loved the show anyway. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A movie not so Dragon Ball charming-ish, but still quite entertaining for the humor moments, and an alternative to Goku and Krillin's friendship start. Not the best, but guess it doesn't need to be. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Another movie that retells parts of Dragon Ball while adding an original plot to this. I understand the previous movie that did that, but this one was retelling a chapter of the Manga (which is about Goku and Krillin finding a girl for Master Roshi) which is not important to the original story. But with that said, it's just another meh movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
