Tockinit not horrible nor great
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
gigan-92 Another one of the recently re-released TV DBZ movies, and one of the few 45 minute features with a real story. This one centers around the back story behind the Frieza's betrayal and untimely genocide of the Saiyans. The main reason to see this, overall, to see how much of a bad ass Goku's father(Sonny Strait) was! But on a serious note, this movie is great because it shows the barbarity of the Saiyans without sugar coating it at all. And yet we still sympathy for them, personified mostly threw Vegeta, who we see as a child here. Very early on we see the greater evil of Frieza, who is as menacing as ever.Very good voice acting throughout, and a flowing story as well. The action is brutal, bloody and just plain awesome to boot. This movie is an essential if you're a fan and for animation and anime fans in general.
emasterslake 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.
Emphinix Bardock the Father of Goku is a great DBZ Movie because you learn everything about what happened before the series and all the secrets of Goku's past.It's a very good movie, I saw this movie with my brother at his dorm at a college campus and I downloaded the movie to on my pc
Karma_K2 Well, I only saw this two days ago for the first time - and as a newly recruited Dragonball Z fan (that is, a solid fan for the past 2 years), I have to say that this was fantastic. Bardock was beautiful (and that is a term I only usually use for Piccolo and Vegeta). I have to say, that at the start, I couldn't see much resemblance between Bardock's personality and Kakarot's (Goku's). But as the film progresses, you can't help but notice the same self-sacrificing and caring nature they both share – although Bardock's was kinda buried. They are both willing to die for the people and planet that they love. And Vegeta! Well, he was beautiful. Very true to character – arrogant and proud. (I'd like to take a moment here and point out how sorry I feel for Vegeta, named after his father and his planet!). As was Frieza. I couldn't help but find myself despising that cold-hearted lizard all over again – and I must admit I had a great laugh when he was defeated by Goku on Namek (albeit temporarily) and permanently by Trunks on Earth. But anyway, all I have to say is that this is a classic piece of Dragonball Z work.
