Your favorite movie (poll)

Post by PiccoloFan7289 » Sat Feb 11, 2012 12:48 am

I have been on these forums for quite a while now and I have never seen anyone conduct a poll for the best and most liked Dragon Ball Movie. Well here it is. I will keep track of everyone's votes in this first post. In a couple weeks I will stop counting votes and we will determine daizex forum's overall best and favorite movie. Here are the choices (I'm using the dub titles for most of the movies because that's what most people are familiar with. I am including some OVA's in this as well. I have decided not to include the Dragon Ball public service videos because those are educational films and no one would vote for them anyway.

1. Curse of the Blood Rubies
2. Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle
3. Mystical Adventure
4. The Path to Power (2 Votes)
5. Bardock: The Father of Goku
6. Episode of Bardock
7. Dead Zone (3 Votes)
8. The World's Strongest (2 Votes)
9. The Tree of Might (1 Vote)
10. Lord Slug
11. Cooler's Revenge (4 Votes)
12. The Return of Cooler
13. The History of Trunks (1 Vote)
14. Super Android 13
15. Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan
16. Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans: Original
17. Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans: 2010 Remake
18. Bojack Unbound (3 Votes)
19. Broly Second Coming
20. Bio-Broly
21. Fusion Reborn (2 Votes)
22. Wrath of the Dragon (1 Vote)
23. Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!
24. A Hero's Legacy

I believe that's all of them. I REALLY wanted to include Atsumare! Goku's World but I think it sorta falls into the same category as the Dragon Ball Public service videos. The original Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans made the cut though because it more or less is a full length movie and is almost 1 hour long.

As for my vote, it's going to Bojack Unbound. Here's some reasons why.

+ A great plot
+ The movie revolves around a Tenkaichi Tournament
+ One of the only movies where Goku is not the main protagonist
+ Bojack is a great villain
+ The match between Tenshinhan and Future Trunks is awesome, even though it's short.
+ Gohan gets to be the main protagonist of a movie
+ Gohan's transformation into a Super Saiyan 2 is awesome
+ I really enjoy the fights at the end of the movie
+ One of the only movies I can come back and watch constantly and not get tired of.

So yeah there's my vote. Everyone else give yours now and I will keep track of the votes. Will probably stop counting votes at the end of February.

I would say we should play a "Hurt and Heal" game with the movies, but I'm not sure such games are tolerated here. I haven't seen any kind of precedent before, establishing them being either accepted, or not accepted.

I always preferred the first three DBZ movies, Dead Zone, The World's Strongest, and The Tree of Might. Before we see all the super saiyans fighting together and getting their asses kicked, the first three are set in those simple early days where Goku and Piccolo are the top dogs. I like Super Android 13 also. It's been so long since I've seen any of the movies...still waiting for that Movie Dragon Box.

Please only pick one movie guys. I respect people's opinions but please keep the live action movies out of this guys. You can also pick one movie and change your vote later if you want to. I've been thinking about changing mine to Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans.

Number 4 The path to power. that's what I'm going with :)
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

My favourite movie is probably DBZ Movie #12, mainly because of its exploration into Hell, Janemba, Gokuu and Vegeta teaming up again, and Gogeta.

Wrath of The Dragon , there is no way in hell that any of the other movies set in he Z universe can even come close, Wrath of the Dragon was the only DBZ movie which actually had a plot and heart. All the other movies were pretty straight forward and used the same formula's which I do not wish to repeat.
Path to Power comes a close second for the same reasons, though I have not really seen the other 3 dragonball movies.

Dead Zone. Nostalgia, being the deciding factor. I can't say I feel too passionately about any of the movies in the Dragon Ball franchise, one way or another.

Since you included the TV specials in the list, my vote goes to The History of Trunks.

My favorite is definitely DBZ Movie 12 ("Fusion Reborn"). It's not often you see something that's so chock-full of action, but is also ripe with comedy and doesn't take itself too seriously. On top of it all, Gogeta is almost as awesome as Vegetto.

Runners up would be DB Movie ("Mystical Adventure") for I think doing the whole "retelling" thing the best out of all 4 DB movies (also gotta love Arale), and DBZ Movies 1 and 13 for both being so plot-centric and also both looking really good in their own ways.

Both the TV specials are great as well, especially Bardock's, but they don't entirely count as movies.

DB: Film 4 - The Path to Power
DBZ: Film 1 - Dead Zone & Film 13 - Wrath of the Dragon

That big lot doesn't actually count all as "movies" they're either Films, OVAs or TV-Specials.
