Summary: SUPER ANDROID 13 but is it really super?!?!?!?!
Review: Dragonball Z isn't deep philosophy, but it sometimes has surprising little twists and turns that take it beyond the nonstop buttkicking festival that it appears to be. This is NOT the case in Movie 7 (called "The Three Super-Saiyajin" in Japan). However, as a basic quick intro to the characters and the power levels of DBZ, Movie 7 is actually one of the best and most enjoyable of the Dragonball Z movie series. As actual stories, I prefer movie 2 ("The World's Strongest", featuring a mad scientist and his super-technological creations against the Z-team) and the double bill of 5 and 6 (the "Cooler" movies). The Three Super Saiyajin, however, is just a more FUN movie. No real wasted time; we set up our heroes in nice calm settings, and then send some nasty androids to attack them, letting the action continue until the very end. This movie also features two of the "coolest entrances in Anime" sequences: one for Vegita, one for Piccolo. Well worth the watching. If you like DBZ, or if you'd like one mindless-but-fun anime combat fest to watch, grab this one.

Summary: Goku's scream?
Review: I thought this movie was OK, but the ending was no good. The movies should be at least 2 hours long so we can get a little bit passed the typical "Vegeta gets his butt kicked and Goku uses same old technique to beat invincible bad guy" story. But I am posting this to say that one of the below reviewers said that Goku's screams were best in the Japanese version. It must have been sarcasm because Goku sounds like a little school boy when he's screaming in the Japanese version. What's so hard core about that? Not to mention the horrible 60's Godzilla music that comes along with the Japanese version. Ugh. HOrrible. Only thing the Japanese version has is a few swear words here and there.... but it's not worth sitting through 60 minutes of monotonous voices that detract from the true DBZ potential. I think I'll stick to the English dubbed version where Goku sounds like a man and Vegeta doesn't sound like an onld Japanese guy trying to sound tough. I'm going to watch the Japanese version of Goku going SS for the first time. GOku sounded like a maniac losing it when he was transforming in the enlgish version. I wonder how he'll sound in the Japanese version. My guess is that there will be Godzilla music in the background from the early 1960's with Goku making a "kkkk-kkkkkk-kkkkk" sound from his throat. Yawn.

Summary: Good stuff
Review: I watched this movie years ago, uncut and in the original Japanese. The story (what little there is) was simple enough to figure out without needing a translation. Diehard fans of the American series should keep in mind the movies are only loosely tied with the television series, and don't tie in directly with the television series continuity.
That being said, this movie contains the best fight sequences, character design and animation the series has to offer. I recommend the subbed version- Goku's screams are best heard in the original Japanese!

Summary: One Huge Fight
Review: I'm one who likes to actually have a story in a movie. Thus the 4 stars and not 5. Even though this movie only has just enough story to justify the fighting, the fights are great. The three Super Saiya-jin at this point in the overall DBZ story (Goku, Future Trunks, and Vegeta) with Gohan and Krillin (who stand on the side and watch for most of it) and Piccollo (eventually) face off against three nasty Androids (13, 14, and 15). The fights continue to build right up to the very end and the final [hit] is rather impressive. One thing about this movie (something that it shares with most of the other DBZ movies) is that if you've never seen the TV episodes that take place around the time that the movie is supposed to take place, you're going to be a bit lost. Actually this is a problem for this movie especially, because I've read summaries of the series from the beginning through the end of the Cell Games, and apparently the point where this movie takes place is in the middle of multiple events, so I was a bit lost. I didn't have this problem with the Cooler movies, because the story was pretty bland back then. Anyways, back to the point. The movie is quite good even though it's basically one huge fight, or maybe BECAUSE it's one huge fight. Who knows. But go get it if you're a DBZ fan. If not, just watch it for the fights or go do a lot of research and THEN watch the movie. Either way, pick it up and watch it.

Summary: All Out War!
Review: If you like fighting.... this one has it all. This movie takes place during the Android Saga. The Z gang must help defend Goku from Dr. Gero's androids 13, 14 and 15. Androids 14 and 15 lead the way into battle until android 13 shows up. Just when the Z team thinks things are all under control, Super Android 13 is born. Originally named Three Great Super Saiyans, there is plenty of action in this one. The plot is revenge and the story is battle. This is also the first appearance of Trunks in a movie. There are 13 movies in all. Movie 6 was the start of the good ones. From here on in.... they just get better! Oh, don't forget the OVA.

Summary: A review for the true fan
Review: Movie 7 on DVD, sweeet. Movie 7 by itself as a weak story, but the story was already laid in the episodes. And the story isn't what shines in this movie...
Audio 2.5/5 - There was nothing particularely wrong with the audio, but once again, Funimation fails to put it in stereo. We only get regular mono for this one yet again, which is really poor for a DVD release.
Video - 5/5 - The video quality was flawless. Funimation this time, has not messed with the picture like they do in some of the episodes. Next, I have to addresss the widescreen issue. All 13 Dragonball Z movies were in fact, created in FULLSCREEN. However, they were first released in Japanese theatres. So Toei Animation cut out some of the picture to make them widescreen. Then, once released on VHS, they took the chopped up widescreen version instead of the original fullscreen. Funimation, however, recieved the originals from Toei, and now, for the first time ever, we can see the original un-chopped movies, which is great. I admit the widescreen versions seem alot better because it makes it feel more like a movie, but the movies were originally fullscreen. If you search around the web you can find screens comapring the DVD with the original vhs widescreen version to see the chopped off difference. So, that's that.
Subtitles - 2.5/5 - The subtitles in here are okay. No major screw ups, they just use saiyan instead of saiya-jin (though they use all the rest of the japanese nomenclature) and Goku says "ain't" one too many times. It really, really ruins Goku's character when I hear him say that. "aren't" "isn't" and "I'm not" are all replaced with that horrible word. The rule should be, if you can't speak proper english in the first place, don't do enlgish subtitles. The subtitles in say, movie 1 were perfect. SO they should really get the old translater back, or just ask Toei for a copy of the script in english.
Story/Action - 4/5 - I love this movie. The story is weak, but it's about the androids, so we already know the story. What shines is the fight scenes. They're absolutely beautifull. I think this movie has some of the the best fight scenes ever made in the entire Dragon Ball series. Perfect balance between their use of ki, and old school fighting. Amazing ending as well, one of the best movie endings. I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it yet, but this is one Genki-dama and pissed off Goku you won't want to miss.
Overall, 4/5 stars this one gets. If it wasn't for the audio and slight subtitle screw ups, it would be 5/5. I'd reccomend it to those who have the original VHS as well.

Summary: More Androids!!!
Review: So far, this was one of the better DragonBall Z features. It has great animation, good fight scenes, and a cool story. The only aspect of this DVD that wasn't the greatest was the music. It is too bland and all the themes sound pretty much the same. Hardcore fans will be happily pleased but others might be a little disapointed.
