Mixed Feelings
Let me just open this by saying I've been a huge fan of DBZ for the better part of a decade. I realize the show has flaws and is only so loved because of the nostalgia boner it'll give to people and the fact that it's the first anime people have watched, it still holds a place in my heart. Anyways, rant over. Here are my thoughts on the movie.

The story isn't the worst thing to come out of Toriyama but it still feels like something off of fanfiction.net. Frieza becoming stronger than Goku's new form in like 6 months (I think the whole reason they made this movie was to start up a new line of Goku figures but now he has blue hair so epic), Piccolo being on equal ground with someone who shouldn't that much stronger than Captain Ginyu at max. Muten Roshi being on par with Frieza Soldiers even though it should be next to impossible for him to get all that much stronger even if he did train his ass off in the past little while due to his age. It was such a mess.

The characters are your quintessential Dragon Ball cast (Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, ect.) mixed in with some new characters and overall it isn't too bad in this department, no complaints here, really.

The animation was fairly polished here, I'd daresay it's the best looking film to date... if the cringeworthy CGI wasn't there. The CGI was barely there but good lord was it bad. The original series didn't have the msot consistent animation but at the same time it didn't have a $5,000,000 budget per episode.

The soundtrack was pretty generic there was nothing special about it so I have no real need to go in-depth here.

Overall you can just skip this one.
