Featured review
There is a lot of good going for this movie. Piccolo gets to have some interesting action scenes. Injuring Goku so early in the story makes it so the rest of the crew has to be on stealth mode for a good stretch of the runtime. Having the heroes on the back foot and relying on sneaking around foes with scouters leads to more suspenseful sequences.
Cooler's second form, where he looks like Super Shredder, is also pretty cool. There are some memorable moments and visuals for the final fight and with Piccolo's fights.
But the villain's motivation is lazy, the characterization is dull, and the conclusion of the movie is pretty anti-climactic. Overall, a pretty average Dragon Ball Z movie.
Random fanboy rant: why didn't Gohan use the flying Nimbus instead of Icarus to fly him to Korin's tower? Was it just an unwritten rule that Icarus had to appear in this era of DBZ movies? Or was Gohan not pure of heart enough to ride the Nimbus? Think about it.
