That was an excellent one.

Good concept, poorly executed.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This was an awful special. I'm glad to see that they are trying to revive Dragonball Z. But, this was a mess. What were they thinking giving Vegeta a brother? What kind of wife does he have? (She better be able to transform or something) Honestly, they could have just made something like an evil kai attacks earth, or something..Some issues were: -Tarble could not be that young. It's impossible. He would have to be as old as Gohan, at least.-Tarble wasn't even surprised when Goku turned super saiyan.-Android 18 cannot sense power levels. She states this many times in DBZ, and GT.

The movie is set 2 years after the defeat of Majin Buu. Mr. Satan is planning a banquet for everyone who helped in the fight against Buu and he's also celebrating the opening of his new hotel. The banquet is suddenly interrupted by a strange person wearing a Saiyan armor. It turns out that this young man is actually Vegeta's little brother Tarble. When he was little, he was sent to a distant planet because he was too weak. He came to planet Earth seeking help from his brother Vegeta in order to defeat the evil duo Abo and Cado who are terrorizing his planet. But the evil duo followed him to Earth and a fight is inevitable! I think the fans won't like this special like the rest of the series because Dragon Ball Z is the most famous part of DB, and the reason why it is so popular is mostly the fighting, which isn't the important thing in this special. Humor is. This movie does have a lot of fighting, and the fighting scenes are great, but there are also Roshi's perverted jokes, funny villains, great dialogues (especially when Goku an Vegeta are arguing) and much more. I for one, liked Dragon Ball more than Dragon Ball Z, and this special was just perfect for me. In the beginning, Dragon Ball was all about the humor, not fighting, and later it became a fighting manga/anime with almost no humor at all. I liked the combination of old-school animation with the latest 3D CG graphics and colouring techniques. And it is great that all the voice actors are present even after 12 years. But for some reason Tien is missing...To sum it all up, this is a great movie that is definitely worth watching. More than once.10/10

Two years later after the Buu saga, the story revolves around Goku and company get invited to Mr Satans (Hercule if you've only seen the dub)banquet to have them all celebrate the defeat of Majin Buu. Later, Vegetas younger brother Table, and his wife (can't remember the name, sorry),warn Vegeta and Goku that a Brother Duo they fought is coming to Earth. When the villain duo arrive they are paired up against Goten and Trunks who are pretty much beating them, the Brothers then merge into a huge villain and Goten and Trunks have to fuse to beat him. Later the villain unleashes a deadly attack but it is stopped by all the Z Warriors (even Roshi and Yajirobe helped), and eventually the villain is defeated. All in all not one of the best things of the DragonBall franchise, but if you're looking forward to seeing something new at least, then give this film a watch. Hopefully this gets dubbed in time for the live action film, yeah yeah I know how much you all hate how it's looking.But I think it would be good marketing for the film if they did so.7/10

I had been looking forward for watching this since it was announced,i was amused and surprised when i heard that a new ova was going to go out after 11 years of dragon ball lack,well i can say after watching this that this special didn't disappointed me.It was interesting watching the great old dragon ball with new animation techniques,brighter colors and higher detailed scenarios.The plot isn't too deep or original,but dragon ball had never been too deep,so i had no problem with that.A bunch of characters from the series appear and there are new ones,that i liked a lot.The only complaint i have is the duration,i felt it was too short,but i hope this isn't the last dragon ball material we see.in conclusion if you're a dragon ball fan you should watch this,you won't be disappointed.
