Is DBZ Movie 11 (w/ Bio-Broli) the worst DBZ movie ever?

[Jackal puFF]

I actually really like this movie. It was nice seeing #18, Mr. Satan and Krillin kick it with Goten and Trunks. Good balance of humor mixed in there.

Really thought all the fights in this movie were handled pretty well, great choreography I have to say definitely better than in some movies. The way they took down Broly was kind of lame though.

My least favorite is Lord Slug/Movie 4. This movie is pretty re-watchable when compared. Oh and music in this one is pretty good compared to the other Broly movies.

Fucking hate it. Not only was Broly absolutely beaten into the ground at that point (I can barely tolerate Movie 10 as it is), but it was basically every cheesy sci-fi horror movie stuffed into one package but with the Dragon Ball setting and characters.

I think Battle of Gods, Episode of Bardock, Movie 3, Movie 4, and Movie 8 are all worse. That isn't to say Movie 11 is a good movie either, it's terrible, but it does have cool cuts here and there featuring characters you don't normally see in action, and the premise is good (no Goku).

Yes. Yes, it is. It's the worst thing TOEI has ever shat out.

Toei didn't animate the Yugioh series everyone knows about. Only the original and the movie

IMdB doesn't have data on the original series separate from Duel Monsters.

Well, I'm glad you agree that Sailor Stars was the wost season. I'm as big of a Sailor Moon fanatic as they come, but I can't even sit through that one too often. Not only were the majority of the plot points rehashed, but there was way too much focus on character such I didn't care for, such as the Starlights.

Toei also made some non-anime stuff that is worst then Bio Broli. The live action Devilman movie and Kamen Rider Decade are worst. Avoid them at all cost!

[garnetjester]

I love the kids, so I'm ok with movie 11 even though it's not one of my favorites. On the other hand, I could barely watch Metal Coolers or Super android 13 because the plots were so tired and unoriginal, even by DB standards, I was bored out of my mind with them.

Not a fan of Broly in general, but I have to agree that Bio-Broly is a cut below his other two films, which weren't exactly that great to begin with, mind you. The decent animation and choreography behind the movie cannot save it from a ludicrous concept.. Why does a clone of Broly retain the old Broly's memories? Memories aren't genetic! Then he transforms into a mix of Swamp Thing and Muk from Pokemon, giving us an even less dignified version of an already ridiculous character. I don't think its unenjoyable to watch, however. It's entertaining when you break it down to its individual parts. Just don't expect me to treat it the least bit seriously.

I like the ending of your post, "It's entertaining"-"just don't expect me to treat it the least bit seriously". I feel that those words captured my feelings on the subject. We take the movie with a grain of salt, it's not one of the best movies, it's even ridiculous to be honest, however that's not to say that there is no entertainment value to be had here. Very well iterated my friend.

How can anyone find Movie 11 better then BOG is beyond me. I respect people's opinions, but least BOG was something fresh and new. Movie 11 was crap at it's finest in my opinion. It's like saying Star Trek: Insurrection is the best Star Trek movie, Die Another Day is better then Dr. No or Alien: Resurrection is the best Alien movie in the series.

[Blade]

Star Trek: Insurrection is the best Star Trek movie

Kinda off topic, but I don't think that Insurrection is that bad - it's just not feature film material. It would have been better suited as a two part TV episode of the Next Generation.

I truly enjoyed Battle of Gods. The movie actually had an impact on bringing something new to the table, personally BOG. is one of my favorite DBZ films, it gave me what I wanted by expanding the story and with setting the universes up my imagination has been captured.

Because BoG was garbage in some people eyes? Same how Movie 11 is garbage in your eyes. I found myself more enjoyed watching movie 11 over BoG

[FortuneSSJ]

To be honest i dont feel like any DBZ movie is bad.
But if I had to choose the worst probably would be Lord Slug.

About BoG, you gotta love humanity.
They bitch about bringing the series back, they have a great new movie and then say it sucks and for the staff leave the series alone.
Funnier are these comments "I didnt like the movie when I watched it in japanese, but now that I saw dubbed in my language i feel its awesome. Best movie ever." Incredible eh.

I never said bring the series back so that doesn't imply to me. I was find with how it ended.

It's hard for me to not employ at least a little bit of bias, given that it's kinda-sorta Goten's movie, but aside from that I've always found that Movie 11 gets a little too much flack. I enjoy its differences from most other movies, such as putting Goku in a non-role and letting other characters step up and be important. The plot is a good vehicle for Goten, Trunks and the others without being something completely out of their league (like, say, the reality-bending, dimension-warping Janemba), and it highlights real friendship and teamwork for the half-pints rather than invoking the cliche of turning them into fusion fodder.

I liked the movie, definitely not one of my favourites but as many have said the interaction between 18, Mr Satan, Goten and Trunks was enjoyable.
In my opinion Lord Slug is the worst movie, it was just boring to watch.

[Attitudefan]

The problem I have with this film is Goten and Trunks. I am just not fans of these guys, at all. Those kids just force a huge wave of bias over me. I mean, if a plot heavily involves them, I am probably not going to like it.

That's the problem with this film. It wants to be serious, but then it doesn't. Bio-Broly doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it Dragonball? Is it comedy? Is it sci-fi? Is it horror?

I think the film wouldn't be so bad if it had more of a grasp on its theme and tone. It is kind of all over the place there. The protagonists are not good protagonists since we can't take them seriously with this supposed very serious threat, Broly. There are peeing scenes, them goofing off etc. Yett, here is Broly: unstoppable, deadly, a horrific murderer, a monster, and he seemingly can never die.

So what is the audience supposed to feel? I think this is the reason people hate it. Because their feelings are confused, the audience is not fully immersed into the story.


But I've only watched it once or twice many years ago along with the other Broly films.

The worst films in the franchise would be the second Broly film, Bio-Broly, the Cyborg 13 movie, Bojack, and Slug.

The best would be DBZ 1-3, 12, 13, and probably Dragonball movie 3. Honourable mention to Bardock: Father of Goku (since it isn't really an official film but an OVA).
