"The action direction from James Wan is crisp and clean, helping the film make up for any other shortcomings." - Ben Mazur, SciFiNow



"This Dragon Ball film features wall to wall action, but unfortunately there isn't much in the way of plot or character development." - Paul Landon, Film School Rejects


"It's not an unmitigated disaster like James Wong's previous film adaptation. Fans of the franchise will surely be happier with this version, but it does come with a few of its own issues. Thankfully some decent casting and strong direction keep things entertaining." - Jeremy Raren, RottenTomatoes.com

Rated PG-13 for frenetic fantasy and martial arts violence
