If Vegetto didn't exist, I'd agree, but since he does, Gogeta effortlessly evaporating Janemba-the collective embodiment of evil in the universe-is pretty fucking satisfying.

It was alright but could have done without all the crappy Goten and Trunks scenes and the fat Gogeta nonsense.

It's my favorite movie, with #13 as my second. It's just such a joy ride through and through with the fantastic art/animation, fun and creative fight choreography, and cool main villain

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Fusion Reborn and Broly were my favorite movies.

In this movie I really enjoyed the humorous moments with Goten/Trunks being as silly as they are, and all the bad guys coming back was cool.

My ONLY complaint was the Gogeta fight. When these movies reach their climax, they rush the fights too fast. And an extended/more heated SSJ3 Goku vs. Janemba fight would be welcomed. We don't see enough SSJ3 and he's simply badass. 8)

To be honest, i felt and still feel that the movie is kind of boring and dull.

The enemy is hurt by cursing and mean spirited words and the action is mainly stock dragon ball z action. However the transformation of super saiyajin 3 goku was marvelous.

At no point did it feel like the other z fighters were in danger, they were casually beating up weak and fodder villians.

Gogeta was ok, had a cool finish but was on screen for less that two minutes.
It is clear that sometime in Mark Satan's life, he acquired the dragon balls and called upon shenlong to grant him immortality.

What?! You're crazy, fat Gogeta was brilliant. I thought the timing and juxtaposition of that scene was perfect.

Come to think of it his was one of the few films were I thought they did Dragonball comedy right.

Yeah it was satisfying after seeing Goku and Vegeta struggle with him for so long haha.
