Dragon Ball Z Movie 14: Kami to Kami

Following the defeat of a great adversary, Gokuu Son and his friends live peaceful lives on Earth. Meanwhile, in space, Beerus the God of Destruction awakens from his long slumber, having dreamed of an entity known as a Super Saiyan God. With the help of his assistant, Whis, Beerus looks for this powerful being, as he wishes to fight a worthy opponent. After discovering that the Saiyan home planet was destroyed, he tracks down the remaining Saiyans on Earth, looking for Gokuu specifically.

Having only heard of the Super Saiyan God in legends, Gokuu and his comrades summon Shen Long the Eternal Dragon, who they find out is afraid of Beerus. After learning the secret of the Super Saiyan God, an intense battle between Gokuu and Beerus commences, the immense power of which puts the Earth in terrible danger.

Its been a long time since I've seen a DB/DBZ Movie, and unlike all the other usual
macho good guy vs bad guy films that I've seen in the past of this franchise before.
This film takes an interesting alternative within the series and starts to proceed in a different dimension in this movie compared to the other usual movies in the past.

It would seem that this movie is actually cannon to the series stated by Akira Toriyama himself as this takes place 3 years after kid buu's defeat and 4 years before Uub's appearance at the world martial arts tournament within the anime. Don't worry ...

Mixed Feelings

Give me pudding or I destroy the Earth!

Just when I thought this movie might be the rebirth of Dragon Ball, it presented itself as a lousy, high quality, piece of junk. Perhaps it was the initial hype from trailers that got me excited, but after thoroughly watching the movie twice, I just can’t seem to appreciate it. At all. But let us first get the good points of the movie out of the way since there are very few to talk about anyway.

The animation is quite something. If only the recently remastered DBZ TV series could be completely re-animated like that, I’m sure the ...

I'll like to start off with a disclaimer for my review since I'm sure some of you will flair up after seeing my overall score. I'm a big fan of the dragon ball series with Z being my most favourite. The version of DBZ i grew up watching was the funimation dub that aired on Toonami which had the soundtrack composed by Bruce Faulconer. I believe that the enjoyment of this movie might be influenced by which version of DBZ you you have seen growing up; whether it was the sub or one of the two different dubs. Now with that out of the way ... I'll start my review and please bare in mind that the types of DBZ movies I am used to watching are the English dub and a few more recent ones in English sub that does not have a dub for it yet.

Story

The story was a very poor one. Even though DBZ isn't necessarily known to have a good story, this movie probably has the weakest story in the entire dragon ball z series. I don't want to spoil anything but their enemy was not the typical bad guy that wants to rule the Universe by destroying those who opposed him. Instead what we have here is a bad guy that is bored of having a long life and just wants to seek out strong warriors to fight and blow up planets for fun. My description of the enemy might sound like an interesting plot but it was poorly executed in this movie. The movie dragged on with fillers in between that made me constantly check the progress of the movie to see how far am i from the climax or what was supposed to be an epic battle in the end. The final battle itself had some things in it that made no sense what so ever similar to when Omega Shenron used minus energy ball on kid goku in GT while he was holding the spirit bomb but didn't even scratch him. That kind of thing really destroys the credibility it had going up to that point. The conclusion was very disappointing and it's the first time a DBZ movie has ended like that but it does give a hint that there may be more movies and adventures ahead.

Art

The art work here was really good. It was similar the opening of Dragon Ball Z kai. My biggest gripe however was the CGI backgound they used during the final battle because it was out of place and very distracting but i don't think many people will find it hard to deal with and some might even welcome this but for me, they should have just stuck to the cartoon backgrounds they normally used in the movie and series.

Sound

As stated before, I am a fan of the English dub dragon ball Z movies and I think the Japanese dub voices were a bad match for the characters and they were very distracting. The sound tracks used for this movie were almost none existent where it is dead silent at time with only the voices in the foreground. One of my favourite parts of the dragon ball z movies were always the epic sound tracks they chose for the movies to keep things exciting and to keep the viewers from getting bored in the slow parts.

Character

The characters are the same as you would expect from the DBZ characters. Trunks was my favourite this time because of how badly he wanted to look superior to Goten. I don't want to spoil this but Goku's newly found philosophy contradicts his fighting style up until this movie where he would mostly rely on fusion or spirit bomb to defeat his enemies.

Enjoyment & conclusion

The enjoyment of this movie is dependent on what version of dragon ball Z series/movies you grew up watching. If you were watching dragon ball z in pure Japanese audio then this movie will be more bearable. This movie distances itself from the usual dragon ball Z formula where this is not a serious movie and is around the same level of the one piece, toriko, dragon ball cross over episode that came out not too long ago which consisted of forced humour and a terrible story. This could be enjoyable or dreadful depending on the individual viewer's values but for me this was the worst animated Dragon Ball Z movie of all time.
