Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug (1991)

I really don't see why people don't like this movie. I did like it and it was finally a Dragon Ball Z movie that I liked every aspect of. Lord Slug was a pretty cool villain and beat Goku pretty bad. Actually I liked the beating. My favorite part was when Goku became a sort of Super Sayian. I call it that cause all that happened was his hair went up like a SS and his eye color left, almost Kaioken, not the blonde hair like the regular one. The animation was cool, going into the much better animation that came into the show at the time of this movie. The voices were great too. These were the voices that made the characters who they are. Goku and Gohan especially.

SPOILERS AHOY, MATEYS! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to my first review. Well, let's cut to the chase. I am a Dragonball/Z/Gt fan. I was skeptic about buying this on DVD, when I was told it was a sucky movie. I decided to buy the uncut version on DVD, and I'm glad I did! It is about when an asteroid is about to strike earth. No problemo, Goku can just blast it to bits, right? WRONG!!!! It is inhabited with life forms, and Goku doesn't want to hurt the extraterrestrials, yet if he doesn't, everyone on earth will die. Rather thorny situation..... Until the rock changes course, and explodes, but not before a spaceship speeds out of it. Then emerges LORD SLUG and his minions! He is the ultimate enemy, and is tearing Goku and hes friends apart! Will earth fall at the hands of this villian? Not before slug and Goku turnb to their uuber-cool super forms for one final deathmatch in the ruined city! Don't miss this one if you're a DBZ fan! If you buy it, be sure you get the uncut PG-13 version, the edited for tv one is just plain sorry.10/10

(Warning Spoilers)this a great dragon ball z movie, lord slug comes to terra freeze earth and make it a satilite, this is an awesome movie and i recommend it for true dragon ball z fansstars(1-10)**********

This is the fourth Dragon Ball Z movie released during the series Japanese TV run. A planetoid is averted by Goku and Krillin and later explodes and descending upon it is a band of sun-sensitive alien nomads led by an aging Super Namek named Slug, who uses the Dragon Balls to regain his youth and plans to terrafreeze Earth into a starship. Defending the planet are Goku, Krillin, Piccolo, and Gohan. This movie suffers from an extremely shallow and ill-conceived plot. It seems that this movie's screenwriter did this movie's story in a very hurried and half-hearted effort (which made a lot of sense, considering that by this point, Toei Animation called for 2 Dragon Ball Z movies to be released annually in March and July to be screened at Toei's annual anime fairs and in theaters). Nearly ever aspect of this movie looked like it was put together without much thought, including the villains, the plot, the animation (from time to time), and in many of the scenes such as how Slug is stopped. The plot often repeats elements found in the previous DBZ movie, Earth's Ultimate Deciding Battle a.k.a. The Tree Of Might. This DBZ movie, purely seen as a regular movie, is one of the worst. If you are a hardcore Dragon Ball Z fan, I'm sure you will find it at least watchable.GRADE: 1 out of 5 stars
