Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle Audience Reviews

UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
SlyGuy21 While I'd still prefer to watch the episodes of the show this is based on instead of this, it was still a good watch. Some things differ, but just like "Curse of the Blood Rubies", the charm is what carries the movie from scene to scene. The action's pretty good for the second half, and it's nice to hear more of the Funimation voices I'm used to, but the biggest problem the movie has is the plot. The villain's plans aren't all that clever, and he only really exists to be a hindrance, rather than a terrifying obstacle that Goku and company have to overcome. I'd only recommend this for like super fans of Dragon Ball, but even if you love the show like me, this is still just a "one and done" movie.
John Doe This Dragon Ball film tells the story of how Master Roshi sends Goku and Krillin off to Devil's Island to rescue a 'princess' except they find out it is just a diamond.The story is cute and funny and the voice acting is well done. This was actually FUNimation's very first anime of Dragon Ball that they dubbed in their in house studio of then Dallas, Texas and the voices sound good for the ones chosen.This is a good Dragon Ball movie I recommend to the fans.I give Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle a 7/10
emasterslake In order for Goku to become an apprentice of Master Roshi/Kame Sennin, he and a bald boy named Kuririn must fulfill an assignment. Master Roshi wants a woman around his home for cooking and cleaning. The assignment is to retrieve the slumbering princess from the lair of Lucifer. Once Goku and Kuririn bring back that princess, then they will become the students of Master Roshi himself.But both Goku and Kuririn will learn that Lucifer's Lair is a ghoulish and hellish place to visit. As it's fully populated with goblins and night dwelling beasts. With the help of old friends and personal strength, Goku will have a winning chance in retrieving this princess.Like the previous movie, this is an alternate retelling of how Goku first met Kuririn, how he became Roshi's student, as well as how they first met Lunch(the split personality woman).The story to this one is enjoyable with all the recognizable and made for the movie characters. Only down side is it's less than an hour. But if you are a fan of the Dragonball series, then you wouldn't mind that at all.
AnthonyRS1983 This was the second Dragon Ball movie released during the series' Japanese TV run. This, like the previous DB movie, is a re-telling of pivotal moments in the Dragon Ball TV series. This time, the story re-tells how Goku met Krillin and how the two boys began their training under the wise "Turtle Hermit", Master Roshi. In the movie, Master Roshi sends Goku and Krillin out to a spooky castle at the Devil's Hand to retrieve a "Sleeping Princess" in return for martial arts training. As they arrive, Goku's friends are captured by the castle's residents, Lucifer, and Igor and both he and Krillin must save Bulma from being used as an involuntary blood donor and prevent Lucifer from blowing up the sun and overrunning the Earth with monsters. This second movie is a bit more serious in tone, but has its share of hilarious moments recreated from the TV series.GRADE: 3.5 out of 5 stars
