Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest (1998)

For being a self contained story, with no build-up for the antagonists, this is structured really well. You can see elements from the Saiyan Saga, as well as the Ginyu and Frieza Sagas, but it doesn't feel super condensed like "Mythical Adventure" was. The action's good, the humor's good, and the plot's easy enough to follow. The biggest problem the movie has is Dr. Wheelo himself. He's not as interesting as Garlic Jr. was, and his plan, while evil, seems more suited for "Dragon Ball", instead of DBZ. Aside from that though, there's not much to complain about. If you're a fan of DBZ, check this out, there's a lot to like about it, and it's a quick sit.

Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest is my favorite dragon ball z movie. The animation is smooth, the fights are awesome, and it's just an all around fun film to watch.The world's strongest takes place somewhere before namek but after vegeta. Doctor Wheelo is a bio-scientist and together with his assistant ko-chin, they plan to take the body of the most powerful being on earth and use it as a vessel for doctor wheelo's genius brain.The story as far as anime goes is passable, but in comparison to film in general, it's kinda ridiculous. But hey, i don't watch dragon ball z for story. I like it cuz of the crazy fights and fun characters. The World's Strongest delivers this. Goku, Krillin, Piccolo, Master Roshi and Gohan are all in top form. The fights here are great, and as mentioned before, have fluid animation. The voices are are alright but some of the dialogue is annoying. The music is classic original DBZ, which i dislike very much actually. Thankfully there isn't too much of it And i didn't enjoy the dream sequence where gohan falls asleep while doing homework. Oh well, still a great movie. I highly recommend this movie if you are a fan of dragon ball z. Nonfans will be lost and probably unhappy with it, but for real fans, you can't find any better than this.

This DBZ movie is very good. It is the only movie so far that I have seen where you get to see Master Roshi fight. Sure the fight doesn't last long, but he does good for a bit. This movie is about a crazy doctor who is now a brain in a jar. This guy wants the strongest person in the world so he can have his body. He hasn't been around lately so he mistakes Master Roshi for the strongest, but Bulma tells him that Goku is. Goku is on his way to rescue them and a bunch of cool fighting begins. Gohan, Krillin, and Picallo also are on hand for the fight.

It is without a doubt, the best in the trilogy of films. The DVD has kick-a** sound. The plot is pretty standard, world is threatend by an evil madman, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway this film is much better than Dead Zone, and 100 times better than Tree of Might. All it needs now is 79 minutes of new footage. Grade: A
