Super Buu with no personality isn't Super Buu.

This song needs more love.I like most of the movies starting from Cooler's Revenge. They aren't always consistent, but I could go on all day about how inconsistent this franchise is. The gags, fight sequences, and animation of the later films makes up for their deficiencies. Some of the most intense fight sequences and song choices come from the films.
Dragonball's got more films than pretty much any other shonen series, so I'd wager it's resonated well with the fanbase overall or else they wouldn't waste the money.

Yes they both... lack a nose... Yeah no arguments about Janemba's first form when compared to Fat Buu but you're seriously going have to explain how Super Janemba looks like Super Buu.

They're both around the same height, they have almost the exact same facial features, not just the nose, but the eye shape and mouths too. They have the EXACT same abdomen, drawn exactly the same. They have the same exact body structure and proportions, too. Janemba looks like if you took a picture of Super Buu and changed his color and gave him a chin, horns, armor, ears, and a tail.

By that logic, Perfect Cell looks exactly like Frieza if you added wings, a head thing, an exoskeleton, changed his color, and took away the lipstick and tail.

This song needs more love.Yeah I've been comparing pictures of the two of them and I just do not see it at all.
This song needs more love.Wow, human-like proportions. Thank god no other villain in the series has that.
Their faces are completely different- they both don't have a nose, but their eye shape is different, their ears are different, mouth and chin shapes are different
Their abdomens are MAYBE similar in shape... but so is every other unshirted character's.

This song needs more love.All the old movies are heavily infuenced by canon arcs, either in the villains or the general plot outline.
Like the vast majority of EU materials (and even some manga materials).
Bojack isn't a super interesting guy but he has a pretty strong 'dirty fighter' motif between the ambushes and attacking through his allies which fits the space pirate idea. His design is also pretty cool, which makes him a serviceable villain for what is otherwise a pretty good movie. The fight choreography, new costumes and scenery are all really nice and it's a good Gohan story.
Wrath of the Dragon is the movie that feels most like a 'movie' for me, in terms of pacing and structure. Didn't use the characters as well as it could have but still had nice development for Trunks and Tapion. I liked that Bulma had an active role in assisting Tapion as well.
I am not as hard on Lord Slug as most because I see the similarities the other novies have to other characters/storylines, so Slug is only so much worse about it. The whistling weakness was a novel idea and his henchmen/terraforming schtick was a bit more interesting. I like that they reference the idea of powering the Genki Dama with the sun, and for some reason I really like the opening scene where they deal with a meteor. Also, the English soundtrack was really good for this movie.
None of the movies are GREAT, the derivative nature holds them back, and they have a lot of problems that most Toei DB products have - the fights don't fit the manga way, which often means they're really dumb or don't seem well thought out.
But they generally offer pretty cool scenery, and can be a fun romp with the characters that's largely inoffensive. And it's kind of sad to highlight that as a positive, but compared to other Toei works which can get downright bad, I feel it's worth mentioning.

Which is fine...
Group up those examples, one at a time doesn't work.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Also, Cell is tall while Freeza is kind of a shorty. He's more or less eye-to-eye with Vegeta, but Goku towers a full head over him, while Perfect Cell is almost a head taller than Goku. Freeza and Cell have the same kind of colored-pecs-with-a-triangle-beneath thing on the chest, but the similarities end there.
The very best, like no one ever was. Check out my Spider-Man fanfic here! [1]I was very surprised to learn Slug was made between the first mention and first actual appearance of Super Saiyan, so the transformation in the movie was intended to be it. Which is... pretty audacious of the movie writers to try to beat Toriyama to the punch there. The reference books later retconned it to an "almost but not quite" form called Pseudo-Super Saiyan.

The same thing happened with Goku and Vegeta's dance fusion and Fusion Reborn. It's fairly obvious that Gotenks was supposed to be foreshadowing for Goku and Vegeta doing the same but Toei beat Toriyama to the punch.
This song needs more love.

I'd argue World's Strongest and Dead Zone have the best environments, but Bojack's good for that as well.
