I wasn't all that impressed with Bojack Unbound. While many dbz fans would scream murder over this. I'm just saying that this wasn't as good as it should have been. Let's face it, if your going to drop 20 or more on an anime dvd. It had better live up to the hype. Bojack was a throw away villian. Who didn't really seem to have any idea of what he was doing. All he did well was kill his minions. I didn't like this at all and the only good thing about this was future Trunks and Vegita. Not a good reason to buy anything. Unless it's a dvd about them. over all there are far better ways to get your dbz fix. save your money unless you find this really cheap. |

Barely average and nothing more |
I give this one credit simply because it can fit in the DBZ timeline. Unlike many of the movies that seem totally out of place. Still, this is one of the weaker movies.
A villian named Bojack was imprisoned until King Kai's planet was destroyed during the Cell Games. Now Bojack seeks to take over the earth.
I will admit that even as a DBZ fan. I really don't like this movie at all. I felt the Z-fighters were poorly used and Gohan didn't really get the chance to shine as a major character. Goku should have really been left out of this one.
I didn't find the action scenes entertaining at all. Plus the soundtrack was very boring this time around. The best feature happens to be the animation which is a big step up. But that's about all I can think of.
As a fan of DBZ, this is a big disappointment and I never took Bojack serious for one second. This should only be picked up to finish your collection. If you're not a DBZ fan, then you shouldn't waste your time.

Plague disc -- avoid it!! |
As a general rule, martial arts films are fairly stupid. Animated martial arts films are, as a general rule, terminally stupid. I will be the first to admit that the Dragonball Z material, which is extensive, isn't the most absolutely stupid, although at times it comes perilously close.
Those who are unfamiliar with this subset of the genre, the Dragonball series concerns the dynasty of muscle-bound martial arts superheroes founded by an alien (Seiyan), Goku. He was sent to Earth to destroy it as an infant, but forgot all about it an became the closest thing to Li'l Abner seen in modern anime (he's hugely strong, mild of manner, and innocent to the point of impraticality.
You would think the series would actually be about "Dragonballs". Well, it sort of is, occasionally. These little orange balls with stars on them, if collected together, allow the possessor to call up a gigantic magic dragon that will grant a wish. At times where's a lot of plot business connected with rivalry in getting the balls. However, at other times the dragonballs completely disappear. This is one of those times.
Instead we get lots of martial arts and of course the other thing associated with Dragonball Z, overabundant and overdone "comic relief" -- which is too self-consciously "comic" and from which there is little relief. A lot of this is provided here by a stock Dragonball character, Hercule. The reader is referred to an other "Hercule", Clouseau's assistant in the early Pink Panther films (and clearly a parody of a third Hercule, namely Poirot). The Panther Hercule is only marginally brighter than Clouseau ... the Dragonball Hercule is more than marginally less bright. Despite the clearly greater martial powers of the Goku dynasty and other fighters, he always manages to retain the title of World Martial Arts Champion through some fluke. For a while, Hercule has no idea he's benefitted from other than his own skills, but by the time of the "Bojack" film, he's well aware of his position at the bottom of the totem pole.
You won't see much it here, but Dragonball comedy tends to use laughable names for its characters, particularly villains -- such as the perennial Garlic Jr.
As is usual with Dragonball, there is a martial arts contest and it turns into a serious threat to the continued existence of Earth. The threat is then dealt with (with lots of cliffhangers) by a member of the Goku dynasty. (By the way, nobody ever explains how the continued mating of the Goku dynasty members with Earth people fails to produce weaker and weaker offspring. If anything, this genetic dilution seems to produce stronger results. On the other hand, expecting things in this series to make any real sense in the real universe is very, very foolish.
The "Bojack" film is fairly harmless and will no doubt fascinate kiddies whose educational prospects are limited. Nevertheless, I urge you not to buy this turkey. The reason is simple: it is preceded by 2 blatant and obnoxious commercials that can't be bypassed. If you want to watch the film, you have to watch the commercials.
Shades, we hope, NOT of things to come. |

Not the same as other movies. |

I brought this movie and thought that it would be like the other ones but it was not. Don't get me wrong this is a great movie but I realzied some things they did that they didn't do in the other movies. First of all I was surprised to see Hurcules skin darker normaly it's lighter. Secound of all they put in minor swear words in one scean Trunks uses the H word after he starts fighting one of the final fighters. Im not sure why they did that but hey Dragon Ball Z has swaring in it sometimes. The movie is about when the Z fighters go to a tourtment and enter a humongus fight were the last 4 opents stading will go to the finals. Gohan, Trunks, Vegeta, and Krillin make it to the finals and must fight the opents know from another world but are realy Bojacks heachman. Soon after meating Bojack Krillin, Vegeta, and Trunks are dafeated and only Gohan is left after Gohan is nearly at death he Goku was watching the whole thing on telvision and brakes the rules of Heavn to help Gohan. After Gohans standing agian is only task left is to deafeat Bojack and this is no game. This movie is good but I was expecting a little more action and fighting. This is a good movie but Lord Slug and Broly are better this ones good but check out a few others if you are looking for lots of action. |
