Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler (2002)

just watch it!

Dreadfully Boring

An action-packed slog

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

This is a good DBZ film, Cooler comes to New Namek, and while I think the idea is neat and all, and I think this film is cool because it features the first film appearance of Vegeta, who refuses to work with Goku because he is the 'Prince of All Saiyans'. but anyways onward with Cooler, He now has a small army of 10 billion warriors with him! Can Goku and Vegeta save the planet? I give Return of Cooler a 7/10

No stupid pointless henchmen dubbed with french accents, yay! I suppose that is probably a stupid reason to enjoy a movie, but man that was rather dimwitted to the people who dubbed the previous DBZ movie featuring Cooler. This DBZ movie is rather good though and not only for that reason. This one also marks Vegeta's first appearance in a movie. Granted it could have been better, but for a while there this one was shaping up to be one of the most action packed installments yet. To bad they ended the movie rather weakly, basically in the same fashion they ended the first Hulk movie. The story has our group of Z fighters going to new Namek to try and help the Namek's on their new home with a bit of a huge problem. Seems some strange metal planet is essentially trying to unit with the planet and bring it within itself. A bit like the planet eating Unicron I suppose combined with the Borg of Star Trek fame. Well after fighting some robot fighters Cooler appears and now he is metal and stuck in the final form of Frieza rather than the cool version he was able to turn into in the first movie he was in. Well Goku and Vegeta must fight him and then a whole bunch of him. It is rather cool, that is until they are captured and then the movie fizzles a bit.

If you read my comment on Cooler's Revenge, you'll know I really like the Cooler villain. He's an awesome character. Way better then Frieza. This movie I like, but it's not my favorite Dragon Ball Z film because first of all him trying to destroy New Namek is random. Just sort of annoyed me of how much irony there was in that. I do like the twist at the end and the fact there's like millions of Meta Coolers which seem impossible to beat. Also there's a stupid move in this movie on Cooler's part. Everyone who has seen this film knows what I mean when I say never say out loud what could kill you when you think the heroes are dead.

I loved this DBZ movie! It has hard hitting fast paced fighting and has a simple storyline. The animation is great. Kooler is back and a whole lot tougher than before in his new cyborg body. I love the way Metal Kooler is shiny all the time. The Japanese dialogue is also good. I just love Gokuh's voice. It also has Piccolo kicking some serious butt! Big DBZ or any anime fan will love this movie. If you are able to find the subtitled version of this movie, then I highly recommend that you get it!! I give it a 10 out of 10.
