best movie i've ever seen.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Can you guess where I'm going with this? That's right, I'm going to watch the whole "Dragon Ball" anime, that includes "Z", "GT", and "Super". So I figured I should start where the anime canon begins, with "Father of Goku". For only being 40-some minutes long, they cram a lot in it. The story's good, dark, and is a fine note for me to start the series on. I tried covering a previous anime, "Yu Yu Hakusho", some months ago, but I watched and reviewed it from the perspective of it just being another animated show. I'll get back to that show soon, but for now, I'll be covering "Dragon Ball" different. A lot of the episode ratings will be arbitrary, and I won't be posting reviews for many of them. I might post one at the end of a saga, just to recap, but this'll be a much more passive time for me in terms of reviews. Every 10 episodes or so I'll take a break and watch a PPV or something unrelated, just so I don't burn myself out. This is gonna be an adventure to say the least, but with Goku and friends at my side, I'm up for it.

This is the first Dragon Ball Z TV Special, called 'Doragon Bōru Zetto Tatta Hitori no Saishū Kessen ~Furīza ni Idonda Zetto-senshi Son Gokū no Chichi' which means ' Dragon Ball Z: A Lonesome, Final Battle - The Father of Z Warrior Son Goku, who Challenged Freeza' but the North America and Canada version is called 'Dragon Ball Z: Bardock – The Father of Goku'. This tells the story of Goku's father, Bardock who gains the power ability to see his death - being killed off by Freezia. This is actually a very important element, as it is shown is a few episodes and movies. While this is a prequel to the original Dragon Ball series, it has the action of Dragon Ball Z, FUNimation has chosen to use hard rock songs such as Sum 41 and Saliva in their dub. This is a very good TV special.It is an important element to the DBZ world and is a must see.I give Bardock the Father of Goku a 7/10.

Goku's father, Bardock was a low ranking Saiyan soldier working for Frieza along with the rest of the Saiyan. His son, Goku was only an infant and is being schedule to be sent to Earth to destroy. But little did his dad know, is that his son will be a savor for the Earth in years to come.This tells the full story of Bardock, who was only mentioned briefly in the anime. As well as featuring familiar characters including Nappa, a Young Vegeta, Zarbon, Frieza, and Grandpa Gohan.It's highly recommended for those who want to see what Bardock was really like, and what was his thoughts on the son he hardly seen or knew in person.

This story is number one out of all fifteen of them.It tells about Goku's father who was given psychic powers while on a mission.Bardock appears a couple of times in the TV episodes during the frieza saga and this tells all of bardock's story.Now i understand why they showed him in the series and in the beginning of movie number five.I hope everyone else likes it as much as i did.It's better than outlaw star movies.We learn how grandpa gohan found goku and why named him that.A good movie for people of all ages.A great back story like the history of trunks was.Rent or buy it someday.I give it a 10 out of 10.=It's too bad they don't show re-runs every day on toonami like the old days.The plot is great,no sex or curse words.i wish that they would have showed it when i was a kid.better than the gay crap they have on nowadays like Lupin the 3rd ,ben 10,that Yu-Gi-Oh rip-off Duel Masters,Megas XLR or naruto.It's on par with Tenchi Muyo,Yu-Gi-Oh,Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho.Watch when it's on TV again and you m,ight agree with me.
