Story:
This is a super condensed version of the first 2/3 of Dragon Ball so it feels rushed. I loved the original story so this paled in comparison. A lot of the comedy was lost in favor of DBZ style action. They did manage to keep one of my favourite scenes where Roshi gives Bulma his dragon ball but the non-canon writing was lackluster. Trying to fit such a rich story into 74 mins robbed a lot of the characters of a good backstory (particularly Red and Black). A lot of great characters were left out and some like Yamcha and Oolong really had no reason
...
to be in the story.
Art:
Absolutely amazing. More along the angular lines of DBZ than the chubby round originals. It makes me wish the redid the original story like they did DB Kai.
Characters: Not as fleshed out as the manga or anime unfortunatley.
Enjoyment: It wasn't nearly as bad as any of the other DB movies.
Overall: Watch this if you're a fan of DBZ and wish DB could've had more action and better visuals. I would recommend watching DB Recut (A fan edit with a lot less filler) instead!
