DVD Reviews of Dragon Ball Z - The Movie - Dead Zone (Uncut)

DVD Review: The First and the Best
Summary: 4 Stars

Of all the numerous DBZ American movie releases (discounting The History of Trunks and Bardock the Father of Goku) Dead Zone was the first and the best, and the only one to actually have some life in the series. In many ways, it's an introduction to the DBZ series, as it introduces Goku as he is currently, shows us what he's been up to, and brings in his son, Gohan. Along with that, Piccolo and Krillin join the action.

And in this one, the bad guy wins. Garlic Jr., who later has a saga between Freeza and Trunks, starts the movie by collecting the Dragon Balls and making his wish for immortality with the Eternal Dragon. But, while obtaining the balls, Garlic Jr. kidnaps Gohan, who wears the 4-star ball on a hat, and thus Goku gets involved. In an attempt to save his son, Goku, with Krillin's help, and eventually Piccolo's help as well, battles Garlic Jr.'s numerous, spice-related henchmen until the final, inevitable showdown with the immortal Garlic Jr., who has not only a powerful fighting form, but the Dead Zone sucking in the Earth into its Limbo as well. And then, Gohan stirs...

This movie carries itself with some great action, and in this one it has yet to become pointless. Enemies aren't suddenly introduced to make the movie longer. We know who Goku will face from the start. Along with that, it has some pretty funny moments, like Gohan's tripping scene--he accidentally eats a drug-laced fruit--which ends with Gohan peeing on Krillin's head.

Unfortunately, this movie started the never-ending trend of keeping the "movie" length less than an hour. Everything in this movie, and the ones to come, seem jammed in. Something you rarely see in the DBZ series is a fight that lasts less than five minutes. Most go into episode after episode. Maybe this was a good thing about the movie, but you kind of get used to something and to have it suddenly stop is kind of a jarring feeling.

Still, Dead Zone is the best of the movies, with some good action and laughs. And the good thing about this movie is that anyone could pick it up and enjoy it, whether you're a new fan or a long-standing one. And if you haven't yet seen this and you are a fan, then pick this up.
