MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
travismckenziesocial I don't care what your opinion is about Dragon Ball Z, whether you think it's a great show, not a good show, or overrated. In my opinion, Dragon Ball Z is the greatest show/cartoon of all time. You can't deny the legacy of the Dragon Ball Universe with mind bottling statistics like it grossing almost 4 billion dollars in merchandise and being the #1 watched show of all time (cable) through ages 9-24. It was clear that fans always wanted more of Dragon Ball Z. As Akira Toriyama wanted the series to end after the Frieza Saga but fans wanted more. We got the Android/Cell Saga but fans wanted... MORE! And then we got the closing chapter of the show which was the Buu Saga which ended the perfection of Dragon Ball Z. It was clear that Akira was done with the show after the show pretty much over stayed it's welcome. Akira then dumped everything to Toei Animation in thus, creating the mutation disaster sequel that we all know as... GT.GT is a lackluster sequel that fails on all cylinders where almost everything in the entire show is inconsistent with the Dragon Ball universe. Not to mention that all the characters lacks personality and emotion as if they were robots. Every single plot in GT was already used in its predecessors, they basically turned Goku into a child again and sent him off on a journey to find Dragon balls just like Dragon Ball. The show makes the Z warrior's powers look absolutely trivial as if they aren't the strongest fighters in the entire universe as accomplished at the end of Dragon Ball Z, to where they act like they can't even fly (THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENS) and the fighting is absolutely appalling. The only reason people actually watched this show was for one reason.Hope.Nothing more. We wanted more of Dragon Ball! The Dragon Ball universe holds a special place in everyone's heart who watched it. We watched the show just to see our favorite characters. So we tuned in every week hoping this show would get better but it didn't... That's why it was cancelled after one measly year. The bottom line is that GT is a disgrace to the name of Dragon Ball which is why there's a huge controversy of it being cannon. The only small upside I can give to this show is that the animation was pretty stellar at the time, the show had this really dark aura surrounding it and the soundtrack (American) wasn't bad at all.The only advice I can give to the people who watched this show is move on. Pretend it didn't happen and let's all re-live the moments of Dragon Ball Z that we all love.
patthecat11756 So, I really hadn't heard of GT until later on. I was very familiar with DBZ in the early 2000s, when they began to show on Cartoon Network in the USA. I got one of the games later on and saw a few characters that I never heard of; Baby, Super Android 17, etc... I eventually purchased GT and started watching. The first part of the show was funny, especially with the Para Para brothers (LOL). But, once we started getting to the Baby saga, I was really getting hooked. Super Android 17 was another really interesting saga, as well. The dragon saga was a little goofy at first, but was OK. Some people didn't like the character development, but I think the all the show up to the dragons was very entertaining. If you go in there expecting Frieza, Cell or Majin Buu sagas, you may be a little let down. But, if you open your mind and enjoy for what it is, you won't be disappointed!
kinetsmac It's hard to be unbiased when you talk about anything with the "Dragon Ball" name slapped onto it. If your a fan, as I am, you'll say it's great, and if your not, you probably won't get it. Understandably so, as DBZ and it's predecessor are both series so filled with twists and turns and a boatload of characters that if your brain isn't wired to hold mountains of trivial information, you probably won't be able to comprehend it all. However, I think there's one thing that non-dragon ball fans and the majority of Dragon ball lovers can agree on. The sequel series to Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, is sub-par, to say the least. The flaws with this show do not simply stem from the irritating changes made to beloved characters, like making the protagonist Goku into a little kid again and making the beloved Trunks into an annoying pest, the show just...well, it just doesn't FEEL right. The hectic action of DBZ is nowhere to be found in this series, replaced only by tired fight scenes that you've probably seen in a thousand anime series by now. Perhaps that's the biggest hurdle that GT fails to leap over. DBZ was a cartoon so influential to how action cartoons have been made since the late eighties that the bar has been set too high for anyone to leap over. You can see this in the GT's story lines and villains, who have very little life to them and fall far short of the memorable bad-guys of yesteryear, like Cell or Frieza. Heck, the fact that those two actually RETURN in this series, along with every villain from DBZ and DB, is a definite sign that the writers were "jumping the shark," to coin the phrase.GT is not a terrible series on it's own, but the fact that it bares the name "Dragon Ball" immediately demands for a high level of quality it just doesn't possess. Many of the characters fans have learned to love are reduced to practical cameos, and none of the bad-guys really feel that threatening. Just because a character says "We've never fought anyone as strong as this guy before" can't immediately convince the audience that that phrase is actually TRUE. In the wake of Majin Buu, easily the most powerful villain in DBZ, (he did blow up the Earth after all) villains like "Baby" or a girly haired version of Android 17 fall far from the mark (I mean, c'mon. Android 17? The guy who Cell ate back when slap bracelets were considered cool?)I could be nice and say GT had a lot of potential, but I'd be lying a little. Some masterpieces are best left alone, and the Dragonball series was one of them. This pitiful tack-on series is little more than a means to make money, and it wears this on it's sleeve the whole time. There was no reason to create a "Super Saiyan 4," which is really little more than a red gorilla suit with pants, especially when it doesn't follow ANY of the conventions of the previous super-saiyans (Green eyes, gold hair. How do you get a red-furred monkey from THAT?) SSJ 3 IS the ultimate Saiyan form for many DBZ fans, and I'm inclined to agree with them. It's hard to feel respect or awe towards a guy who looks like he wants to pick ticks off his scalp.To end this little review, only watch Dragon Ball GT for one of two reasons. A, your a ravenous, bloodthirsty, "must complete the series" die hard DBZ fan, or B, you really don't care what cartoon you watch. Everyone else, don't set your hopes up too far. You'll be in for a hell of a disappointment.
d_j_alpha While dragon ball and dragon ball z are two of the best animes ever created the pitiful ending that it was given doesn't do it any justice.Dragon Ball GT was clearly poorly written while it was some what entertaining it is a utter disgrace to previous dragon ball sagas.The fact that is was canceled was shame enough.The creators should have just ended it with Dragon Ball Z as the original plan was.Another thing,Goku in his super saiyan 4 form is as cocky as Vegeta since when Goku has the cockiness of Vegeta.All he is babbling about is what he is capable of when really there doesn't seem to be much strength in that form.Its Super Saiyan 4 for God sakes at Super Saiyan level 1 he seemed to had more power.How the hell you could get trashed so much at level 4?Very disappointed in this stupid end to a brilliant anime saga.
