Wait, so when has Goku dying ever stopped him? Hasn't he died like 7 times in the series' history? God, I'm showing my nerdom strong. The movie's OK, in a bloated 6-yr-old Japanese moralism kind of way. And very refreshing is the movie's disregard for the series' patented interminable exposition - so in its favor, this doesn't make me want to gauge my eyes out with a spoon.

Decent backstory but could have just aired as episode of the normal show.

By far the best Dragon Ball franchise film in spite of the fact that everyone already knows how it starts and ends. It probably works because Trunks is the most full-fledged character in Z despite how little he appears in that series. Despite the upside, it still barely rises to mediocre for all the reasons you might expect from a film which begins with the words Dragon Ball Z.

+1 tier because I still remember a lot of this film vividly.
