Vegettos Crypt Rating: 4.5 out of 7
Comments: Pretty good movie. A little slow with the action, but otherwise good.

Synopsis: The movie begins with a scene of Freeza destroying Planet Vegeta, despite Bardock's efforts. We see Goku's pod escape, and we are introduced to Cooler (Frieza's brother) who tells his henchman to leave Goku alone, since this is Frieza's territory. At this point there is a flash forward to the present. After a little comedy, Goku, Oolong, Kuririn and Gohan go camping. Cooler, after hearing of Frieza's death, decides he must kill all living Saiya-jin. Cooler and his henchmen attack Gohan, Kuririn and Oolong (Gohan gets his tail pulled, goes limp and is bounced on the end of one of Coolers henchmen's fist). After some beating, Coolers's henchmen, Cooler and Goku go at, only for Goku to escape injured. After some commotion and a bit of luck, Kuririn, Oolong, father, and son are able to convene. Gohan is delegated to get Senzu beans, and has little trouble thanks to Yajirobi's generosity. Gohan is caught by Cooler's henchmen on his way back, but he is quickly saved by Piccolo (surprise, surprise) until Cooler himself intervenes and knocks him out. Gohan makes a getaway, and as he is giving the bag of senzu beans to Kuririn, one of Cooler's henchmen blasts it to smithereens. Gohan, however, was given an extra senzu bean by Yajirobi, which he had tucked under his belt. He gives it to his father just before he receives a thorough ass wompin' from the henchman Sauza. As Goku is about to launch an attack on Sauza, Cooler appears with Piccolo's unconcious body and does some further damage to it. Goku knocks Sauza away (and into a mountain) and begins to fight with Cooler. They duel for a while, and Cooler decides to transform. After Cooler forms a ki attack powerful enough to destroy Earth, Goku realizes his failure, and after some sadness goes SSJ. He easily does away with Cooler's energy technique, and proves that Cooler has nothing on a Super Saiya-jin. Cooler's last resort is to put a little distance between him and Goku and form an even more powerful planet destroying attack, which Goku catches, and eventually Kamehameha's right back at Cooler. Cooler is pushed into the sun by his own attack, and by the same Saiya-jin he refused to kill. (How very ironic!) Before a full happy ending can ensue, however, Sauza reappears. Piccolo kills him with ease. Then we get a little comedy, as the Namek-jin nonchalantly blows off Gohan.
