Summary: An all right conversion of the Japanese original...
Review: I have to say that the script has been translated well, subtitle-wise. The English dubbed version isn't that bad either, amazingly. My only problem is that they changed the aspect ratio of the film to fit the TV. Now, I don't know if it's just my copy or all the copies, but when I first saw this film, it was in a slightly wider aspect ratio. Similar to the Lord Slug feature. If I had known this, I wouldn't have bought this DVD at all, being a big DBZ fan and having followed the series since 1985. I suppose you can't get everything.

Summary: Whoops
Review: I made a couple of particularly embarrassing gaffes in my last review, so allow me to reiterate.DBZ Movie #5 is actually one of the better installments in the hit-or-miss DBZ Movie series, even with Goku spending most of the film injured. Highlights include Gohan's meeting with Karin and Yajirobe, Goku taking out Cooler's personal Ginyu team, and a certain green-skinned guest star who makes an appearance. Still, I must confess I can't stand the marketing behind these movies. I originally thought the first three movies had been released with their original box art and titles, but I was informed that this was not the case. However, that doesn't change the fact that "Cooler's Revenge" is still a stupid title. Cooler shows up again in Movie #6, so what are they gonna call that? "The Revenge of Cooler's Revenge"? And that box art just screams "ugly". Anyway, if you don't have 20+ hours to spend following a 300-part storyline, give this movie a try for a quick and enjoyable beginning, middle, and end.

Summary: only half a movie
Review: I saw the japanese version and i liked it; altough, it is only about 40 minutes long and the next movie witch also features Cooler is even shorter.
Why don,t they combine then, it would still be shorter than 90 minutes like most movies and other animes like RUROUNI KENSHIN and others run over two hours.
Maybe it's because DBZ is so popular, but Funimation is ripping us off, but i'm looking forward to see it in english. i'm also looking forword to movie#7 Brolly, the legandary super sayian

Summary: the greatest
Review: I think this is one of the best DBZ movies ever. Cooler is one of the coolest villians I've ever seen. I hope you all agree. Buy or rent it as soon as you get the chance. I was blown away by the storyline. The fight scene is great.

Summary: Good 5th installment in the Dragon Ball Z Movie Series
Review: I think this movie is one of the quality movies that the creator of DBZ made. Even though this is only the 5th movie out of 13 that are to be made, it is still great to watch Cooler get his butt kicked by Goku, it is like watching the Freeza Saga all over again but in a smaller time frame!(Laugh Out Loud).I gave this movie a 5 stars because it has great quality and should be enjoyed by most anime or cartoon lovers

Summary: One of the best DBZ movies ever made ! 'Nuff said !
Review: I wasn't very pleased with the fourth DBZ movie, because of the flat out dry plot and Goku's so-called Super Saiyan transformation. When I heard that the fifth DBZ movie "Cooler's Revenge" is about to come to our shores, I already knew from the start that it would be even better than the four early DBZ movies, because I already seen movie clips of it and read countless reviews about it. Finally, I own one, and believe me, I wasn't disappointed at all. The DVD menus were great ! Better than the ones seen on "The History of Trunks" and "Lord Slug". When I selected the play option, I was introduced to a way better DBZ movie with better animation, deep plot, and amazing fighting scenes. The movie starts off when Bardcok and the rest of Planet Vegeta were destroyed by Frieza's death ball (as seen in Bardock: The Father of Goku). Frieza's older brother, Cooler and his armored squadron were watching Planet Vegeta explode into smitherines. While the ball was slowly falling on the planet, Cooler's squadron spotted a Saiyan pod with a baby Saiyan in it. It was Kakarot, soon to be named Goku ! The squadron was about to shoot it down, but Cooler stopped them and suggested that his brother should take care of it himself. Years after Frieza was killed by Goku's enormous powers, Cooler heard the news by Salza and the rest of his crew. Cooler didn't care about Frieza's death nor does he want to avenge his death, he just wants to get back at the man who stomped all over his family pride. And that man is none other than Goku. When Goku, Gohan, Oolong, Icarus, and Krillin go on a camping trip, they found themselves surrounded by Cooler's armored squadron. It's up to Goku to stop Frieza's brother, Cooler from causing destruction to Earth. Well, I can't spoil any surprises, but I can give you a few pointers on how this movie is like. First off, the plot is much, much, much deeper and much more interesting than that of "Lord Slug". The animation is even slicker and brighter than the other DBZ movies that I've ever seen. No other DBZ movie has ever looked this great. The voice acting still remains the same. Simply put...slightly weird, and pretty cool ! I really liked the English voice actor who played Cooler. It's a good thing they didn't use a woman's voice to play as him. The voice actor who played as Salza, sounds like a wannabe mexican gangster. That's what FUNimation always does. Every weird or cool looking character they see, they will give them a weird accent like a French, British, Scottish, or even a Mexican accent. That's just plain out stupid, but I have no problem with it. It's not really that much of a problem. If it continues to go out of control, I will get sick of it. But as of now, it's okay ! The most amazing aspect to this movie are the transformations. When Cooler goes to his final state of transformation, his body nearly resembles that of a samurai warrior without the swords and gadgets. And finally, Goku transforms into a real Super Saiyan. And no, the fourth movie wasn't the first to ever have the Super Saiyan feature. "Cooler's Revenge" is the first DBZ movie to ever have the Super Saiyan transformation scene, and Goku looks well animated when he transforms into a Super Saiyan. And as always, the action is definently eye catching, especially the part when Salza and Piccolo battle it out inside the tree area of the forest. It's like watching a samurai anime, only with flying techiniques and the use of special abilities. The ending was great. Although appearing to be a bit average, it's perfect. The only thing I hated about the movie was the Spanish version. I'm not saying that I'm racist towards Mexicans, but the opening and closing music they translated, sounded weird. That's pretty much it. So in conclusion of this review, this is the far by, the best DBZ movie ever created. If you're thinking about seeing DBZ in a whole new level, look no further than "Cooler's Revenge".

Summary: Battle of the strongest (AKA Cooler's Revenge)
Review: I've seen the fansubbed version of Battle of the Strongest (Cooler's Revenge) It was the best DBZ movie out of the 4 before it. I haven't seen the American version, but going to see it soon. The jappanese version was great, and I thought it was so cool. But, Attack! 1,000,000 power warriors (Return of Cooler, coming August 6th) is way better. But still, Battle of the strongest is a great one. Goku finaly goes SSJ in an American movie. My advice is pick this one up.

Summary: The Best DBZ Movie Ever
Review: In the early days, Pioneer released three Dragonball movies. Now, FUNimation has tried they're hand at DBZ movies. Lord Slug wasn't that entertaining, but Cooler's Revenge is by far the best DBZ movie ever made. Content: A
Japanese Version: B+
English Version: A-
Spanish Version: B+
Music: A (dub), B+ (sub)
Animation: A
Fight Scenes: A The story starts off with when Frieza destroys Planet Vegeta. Cooler watches from a distance and decides to let the fleeing Kakarrot go. Fast forward to the time after Frieza is killed by Goku. Cooler, infuriated by hearing of his brother's death, decides to go to Earth and put an end to Goku. After his boys make quick work of Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan, it is up to Goku to defeat Cooler. The movie moves at a fairly fast pace. What I enjoyed the most was the explosive fight scenes. There is tons of action here. One of my favorites is when Cooler pushes his way through Goku's Kamehameha wave and then pops out and punches him. Very nice. The English version features hard rock music by various artists like Disturbed and Deftones. Given the choice between FUNimation TV dub music and the rock music, the choice is obvious. I think it fits the action pretty well. For those of you who dislike the English version, the inclusion of the Japanese dub AND Spanish dub will more than tide you over to buy this title. Overall, Cooler's Revenge is pretty much the best 45 minutes movie you will ever see. Lots of action and lots of great animation.

Summary: Cooler's Revenge
Review: Movie 5 is definately the best DBZ movie ever to be released! Cooler, unlike his brother, sounds very much like a man. We find that the form of Cooler we are first introduced to is his third, and apparently he has only four. Anyway, Sauza sounds kind of like that little dog from the Taco Bell commercials, Neizu sounds like Medametcha, and Doore sounds like Doore. Goku really does spend most of his time injured, but the Super Saiyan transformation impressed me greatly. Also, as you probably know, everyone at first thinks Cooler is Frieza, but they soon find out he's not. All in all, this is definately my favorite DBZ movie ever, buy it now!

Summary: "Coolers Revenge on DVD!!!"
Review: Okay, by the title of this review, you might think that this is just another review by some person who doesn't know how to use proper punctuation and capitalization...WRONG! I titled my review that way because Cooler's Revenge is the best Dragon Ball Z DVD out there and you should pick it up today! It's loaded with extras, and it's almost just as good if you watch it in Japanese. I liked how FUNimation put all those heavy metal songs in it (just like in Lord Slug), and they made some excellent choices, but I am rather surprised that Bodies hasn't been put on any of the movies yet, but maybe we'll hear it in the Brolly movie because it would be more fitting. First, I will review the English version of the film. I think that it is the best DBZ movie there is, and Cooler looks really cool and doesn't sound like a girl, unlike his dopey and whimpy brother, Frieza. However, Cooler's Revenge is a great name for the Eng. version, but I think they could have shortened up the Japenese title and called it Battle of the Strongest or something like that, and then titled movie 6 Cooler's Revenge, but oh well, there just fine the way they are as well. You'll notice the summary of the film on the back is different, as well as the background on the back of the DVD, because it has a picture of Cooler in the back, but on the VHS it's just purple like the previous movie. There's one thing that kind of disappoints me: you need to buy the VHS to get the three CCG Cooler cards...that kind of sucks, but since I already have it on VHS it's not a problem. I'm kind of curious on what they cut from this in the edited, but I'm very greatful that I was one of the lucky ones and was introduced to the uncut version first. Now, I shall rate the Japanese version. There's really not a lot to say about this one, the music is okay, and the sound effects are actually a little better than the Eng. version, but still it doesn't sound natural when the Z fighters power up blasts, they just sound like a bunch of raving Indians. To sum it all up, friends, buy the DVD after VHS, and if you're going to get either format, get uncut because that one is way better. Also, the English version is a lot better, so see that one before watching Japanese. Thanks for reading this and I hope it has been helpful to you.
