Eric Stevenson This will be my last "Dragonball Z" movie for awhile. I guess I shouldn't have been introduced to these films with the more recent longer ones. This one came off as kind of underwhelming, but it's certainly good! If nothing else, I liked the villain Hirudegarn. He reminds me of the Marvel Comics villain Onslaught with his skull head. I guess we deserve to have Goku and friends face off against a giant monster after all these years! Taipon looks like Chrono. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Akira Toriyama worked on the designs for that character too. I thought an ocarina was just something from Zelda.So we have a Chrono like character and a Zelda item. Well, this must be one of the best video game movies ever made! I'm sad we didn't get to meet Taipon's brother. The plot was a little hard to follow, but it's still as good as any other DBZ movie. The best part was easily the final attack. Goku unleashes the Dragon Flash which is a move I only saw him use in some games. I admit it doesn't make much sense for him to suddenly use this massive attack to strangle a giant monster, but I really don't care. It's just cool. ***

John Doe This was a really good Dragon Ball Z movie with a lot of action and good acting. It was the final of the 'main' DBZ movies and has a good story. The action is top notch and I like how it showed Goku going Super Saiyan 3 and Goten and Trunks fusing into Gotenks also, The main villain was well designed too.I give 'Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon' a 7/10

Rectangular_businessman The Dragon Ball movies (the animated ones, not live-action garbage like Dragonball Evolution) were a great addition to the franchise, and from my point of view, some of them managed to do a better job than the series in certain aspects, telling fun and dynamic stories with cool and well made action scenes that aren't overlong like in some episodes from the TV show. Those movies also introduce some interesting new characters, and this time isn't the exception: While the villain was a bit generic, Tapion (A new ally who also plays the role of a brother figure for Trunks) manages to add a certain degree of melancholy to the plot in a way not usually seen in Dragon Ball, making the plot to feel a bit closer to more serious anime shows, like "Saint Seiya", despite of the obvious differences between those two series.Even when the plot resolution is a total Deus ex machina that comes out of nowhere without any single foreshadowing, I still consider this movie to be a more than enjoyable ride from beginning to end. Definitely a must-see for every Dragon Ball fan.8/10

MFDowling In a nutshell, it is the best of the best. The story is to me, the best. The musical score is fantastic. And the fight scenes, I would want to just rewind everyone of those to watch the glory of fighting. My favorite part of the movie is the connection between Trunks and Tapion, they act like they are brothers. My favorite fight scene in the movie is when Gohan fights the "half monster" (I say "half" because Gohan only fights it's legs, strange, I know). It most likely won't be out in English until about mid-late 2005, but at being one of the longest of them and possibly the best of them, it is absolutely worth the wait. For an anime or action movie, its great. For a DBZ movie, it is perfect.
