Part 5
Movie 9-Bojack
Unbound (The Galaxy at the Brink!! The Super Incredible Guy)
When Cell destroyed the King Kai planet during the Cell
Games, a seal was broken. This seal held
in a prison, The Space Pirate Bojack and his crew. Now free, Bojack heads to Earth to destroy
the planet Kai holds most valued. The
Z-Fighters are already participating in a World Tournament when the threat
arrives and leap into action. But this
is a strong crew of buccaneers and Gohan has not fully mastered his new Super
Saiyan 2 abilities. With Goku now dead
and unable to help, how can the Z-Fighters get out of this one?
This wasn’t bad at all.
While Bojack is more of a one note, try to take over the world villain,
it’s still a treat to see everyone in the Z line up participating in this
one. And how cool was it to see Tien and
Trunks fight each other in a tournament?
Sure Trunks won but Tien was a great sport about it. Not to mention, we get one of the best
versions of Gohan from this era of Z: at his prime with his Super Saiyan 2
powers. Sure he and the others get
knocked around (Krillin’s taken out wayyyy to early on and why were Tien and
Yamcha even around). But that’s kind of
to be expected at this point. What is
interesting is how little time Goku has.
For once the saving of the day isn’t left to just him. Hell even Trunks manages to get a kill
in. This was a good direction to take
the Z Film franchise in. Leave in to the
next generation, THIS GENERATION. Even
the humor with Mr. Satan wasn’t too bad…ok it did drag on a little longer than
it needed to but it never distracted too badly.
This was the last time we’d see this group in this time period. So while the villain may have been utterly
forgettable, a step back from the terrifying Brolly, this was still a fun
Z-Fighting fest and one of the best watches in this marathon.

Movie 10-Brolly: Second
Coming (The Dangerous Duo! Super Warriors Never Rest)
It seemed impossible.
But the impossible has happened.
Brolly, the Legendary Super Saiyan, has survived his battle with Goku
and the Z-Fighters. And now he’s coming
to Earth to finish off the Saiyans once and for all. With Goku dead, Brolly seeks the next best
thing: his sons Gohan and Goten. The
sons of Goku, along with Trunks and Videl, leap into action. And just this once, it looks like Goku might
have to break a few afterlife rules to help his family survive Brolly’s
revenge.
So…this was where Dragon Ball Z was starting to become
bad in my eyes. Making Gohan a grown up
ended up being one of the worst executed decisions ever. The appearance of Goten and Trunks only
served to aggravate me to no end, especially since Trunks as a kid was the most
annoying brat ever, a far cry from his more bad ass Future Predecessor. What makes this all relevant? This is a Goten and Trunks movie and it is
downright horrible. From the stupid piss
jokes to the fact that Brolly is even here to begin with, this is one Dragon
Ball movies across all generations that never needed to exist. The action is tiresome, the characters don’t
do much except piss me off and nothing happens for the first half until Brolly
shows up. We get a Dragon Ball hunt with
Goten, Trunks, and poor Videl (who was one of the best but most underutilized
female characters this show could have done a lot with)…NO ONE WANTS TO SEE
THAT!!!! Is there anything good Brolly:
Second Coming? Only credit I can give it
besides giving Videl some movie screen time is seeing the triple Kamehameha
courtesy of Goku, Gohan and Goten…that’s a cool image. Otherwise, pass this one up or kill it with
fire…the choice is yours just don’t watch it.
3/10
