Dragon Ball: Mystical Adventure Audience Reviews

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
SlyGuy21 Probably the most drastic change to the "Dragon Ball" story, this takes a whopping 6 sagas and crams it into only 45 minutes. This would be rather impressive, if it was actually good, but it's not. At least, not good enough to justify replacing the episodes to watch this. I know "Dragon Ball" as a whole has quite a bit of filler, but I've never had a problem with it, compared to this, which has less than no filler, it's like watching the show in fast forward. This might sound good, but in doing so, they've forgotten the charm of "Dragon Ball" itself. All the major moments are here pretty much, but characters like General Blue and Emperor Pilaf are just afterthoughts here. It's alright for a 45 minute watch, but I just wish they stuck with the story and made just a few changes instead of changing almost everything. Or make 2 movies out of it, covering 3 sagas each, something other than this.
John Doe This Dragon Ball movie tells an alternate version of a era of Dragon Ball in which Goku enters a Martial Arts Tournament.This has been dubbed twice into English in North America and also there is a English dub that was done in France by AB Groupe and one in Malaysia.The movie is humorous and has a good story to it. It is in my opinion better then 'Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle'.I give Dragon Ball: Mystical Adventure a 7/10.
emasterslake Takes place after Goku and Krillin finished their year training with Master Roshi. As they head for the World Martial Arts Tour. They'll soon learn there's trouble upon the royal palace, where Master Crane & Mercenary Tao are both plotting something that involves harming Prince Chaozu who is also searching for something he lost.Out of all 4 movies this one is the most alternate reality of the Original DragonBall. The roles of Chaozu, Tien, Mercenary Tao, Upa, Bora, & Master Crane are entirely different in this movie. Even General Blue & Sergent Metalic are completely different people.Not only are the characters taking part of unique role plays. The feature shows an alternate meeting of Upa & Bora as well as a different visit to Penguin Village. It's the same flow as the other 2 movies. Only the word "Alternate" would best describe the story to it. Because everything about it is alternate from head to toe.If you liked the first 2 which had different flows too. Then you'll mostly likely like this one too. Only down side is it's the same length as the first two. Making you wish that there was a Director's Cut of this movie.
AnthonyRS1983 This is the third and final Dragon Ball movie released during the series' run on Japanese TV. Like the first two Dragon Ball movies, this movie re-tells pivotal moments that took place during the TV series. This movie re-tells Goku and Krillin's first trip to the World Martial Arts Tournament. In the movie, however, Goku, Krillin, Master Roshi, Turtle, and Launch are off to a small country known as Mifan, where the tournament is held and the winner recieves not only prize money, but is granted an audience with Mifan's emperor, whom is Chiaotzu. However, the heroes discover that the Chiaotzu's right-hand men, Master Shen, General Tao, and Tien, are conspiring to get the Dragon Balls to abdicate Chiaotzu from the throne and rule the kingdom themselves. In this DB movie, the villains and much of the supporting characters are characters from the TV series rather than original one-shots. This DB movie is by far the most martial-arts oriented as the series was beginning to lean towards that more over adventure and comedy. But this DB movie has the best combination of martial arts and comedy and is always filled with high-energy fighting scenes and hilarious comedy re-created from pivotal moments in the TV series. This movie first appeared in the U.S. on syndicated TV in 1989 when it was combined with the first movie into a single TV-movie pilot, which was done by Harmony Gold (creators of Robotech) in the first of two attempts made to get the DB TV series released in America. In this Harmony Gold TV pilot version, the characters had radically different names. When the series finally became a success in the US when aired on Cartoon Network, FUNimation re-dubbed it, making it more faithful to the original Japanese counterpart.GRADE: 4 out of 5 stars
