Movie Number: 4

Other Titles: Super Saiyajin da Son Goku

Written by: Akira Toriyama

Directed by: Misuo Hashimoto

Characters:

• Goku
• Gohan
• Lord Slug
• Piccolo
• Krillin

Summary: Goku and Krillin are called upon to use their powers to keep a large asteroid from hitting the earth. However, they find out that the asteroid is actually a ship, and on board is Lord Slug, a very old Namek who seeks the Dragonballs to obtain eternal youth. After his wish is granted, he fights against Goku, revealing that he is a "Super Namek" (in other words, VERY strong). Goku must beat him to save the earth and his friends.

Commentary: This one actually isn't too bad. It still doesn't fit perfectly into the timeline (none of the movies do), but it gets back some of the cuteness the first two movies had, without being outright stupid. Don't get me wrong, this is a serious movie, but it doesn't take itself as seriously as movie 3. The action is not too bad, and the story, although not too deep, is decent.

Rating: 6/10

Reason for Rating: Good action, has some cute and funny parts, decent storyline.
