8/10
Too short again!

Warning: Spoilers
This will be my last "Dragonball Z" movie for awhile. I guess I shouldn't have been introduced to these films with the more recent longer ones. This one came off as kind of underwhelming, but it's certainly good! If nothing else, I liked the villain Hirudegarn. He reminds me of the Marvel Comics villain Onslaught with his skull head. I guess we deserve to have Goku and friends face off against a giant monster after all these years! Taipon looks like Chrono. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Akira Toriyama worked on the designs for that character too. I thought an ocarina was just something from Zelda.

So we have a Chrono like character and a Zelda item. Well, this must be one of the best video game movies ever made! I'm sad we didn't get to meet Taipon's brother. The plot was a little hard to follow, but it's still as good as any other DBZ movie. The best part was easily the final attack. Goku unleashes the Dragon Flash which is a move I only saw him use in some games. I admit it doesn't make much sense for him to suddenly use this massive attack to strangle a giant monster, but I really don't care. It's just cool. ***
