Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 60 Average rating: 3.5 "And the award for outstanding mediocracy goes to..LORD SLUG!" Wouldn't it be funny if the Toei Animation crew in Japan made a terrible movie based on their long running serise and actually released it in theatres and then a overratted dub company called FUNimation actually brought over here and managed to make it worse by pretending that it was a new movie even though it came out over 10 years ago and added a rock score worse than Transformers the movie...oh wait. IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!! MY GOD!! This movie is for people who aren't allowed to grow fingernails. Buy this movie if you're collecting the series, but don't expect a plot, decent animation, a good dub, widescreen, extras, common sense, or something original. ""Lord Slug" is a great movie!" The animation was done very well and the music went with the action in the movie. The plot was simple yet exciting and the fight scenes were great. The voice actores did a good job with the characters. This is the kind of movie that I would watch again and enjoy. I highly recomend this movie.

"great music, but not so good of a story." I would like to start out by saying that this movie had great music but the story line was just not what I expected. Its the typical enemy that is a little bit stronger than goku, but ends up being killed by goku in the end. The action in the movie was alright and a little too slow. When Goku was taking on Lord Slug's henchmen(main boss), which consisted of three guys, well there was actually four. In the beginning of the movie Lord Slug ends up killing one of the members w/ a small little wimpy blast because he is very short tempered. But anyways, Goku dodges two of the henchmen and ends up killing them both with a blast and a punch. The third henchmen is killed by Piccollo. When Goku fights Lord Slug it is really kind of boring. Goku powers up into what I think is his kayo kan form, but is unusually stronger than usual and starts to kick Lord Slug's behind, untill he powers up into super Namek. Anyone who wants to watch this movie to know the ending should rent it and not purchase it. If you want to see a great dbz movie then watch: The History of Trunks or The Tree of Might. "Great than Miyazaki....awe who am I kidding!!" Now first off, I wanna commend the writers (or maybe just the crew at FUNimation) for outdoing "Heavy Metal 2000" for what I thought was the worst villain name ever. Lord Tyler has now been replaced by...Lord Slug! When I first saw the title come on my TV screen I had images of a little bug with a crown on his head moving about the sidewalk leaving a trail of ooze behind him. Well actually he's just a homicidal alien - then again, show me a DBZ that doesn't have a homicidal alien as a villain. The reviewer before put it accurately - this movie is VERY mediocre. It's your basic DBZ movie: alien comes to earth, kills a whole lot of people, goes after the dragonballs for eternal life, a lot of pointless and badly animated fighting break out, and after mass genocide our heroes crack a joke and walk off into the sunset laughing with glee. I really don't know which part of this movie makes me want to vomit more...the voice acting or the music. And by music I mean that really bad rock music they put in the background. Who at FUNimation decided to do that? Better yet...who CHOSE the music? It's bad enough it sounds like the same song with different lyrics, but playing a song ever ten minutes is just annoying. By the way, this movie has some of the worst lines ever. Lord Slug throws Goku into a store and says, "Nothing like a little window shopping!" BOO! HISS! However, nothing tops this line right here: "They're like children, give them a little air to breath and they're happy." I am still losing sleep over what the hell this means!!!
