And to top it off, It ends with an epic battle that doesn't disappoint. It's not as good as Battle of Gods but I still very much enjoyed it.… Expand

SPOILER FREE.

i just watch dragon ball super broly movie.
hot dang it spend good 30 mins (that i really enjoyed btw) setting things up,

and when things going down its hella good animated movie, its thin on plot wise, but on the animation side, they give all out i tell ya,

the story is simple as giving context on who broly is and why he fights goku n vegeta, and vice versa

gratefully most of the main n supporting cast IN THE MOVIE (not series) aren't wasted.... even though they didn't do much but its more than justifies their existence

don't worry if you don't watch dragon ball super as it doesn't focus on any of the series plotpoints but rather jumps from its conclusion, and explain it simple enough that i myself ,a newcomer could understand the context and enjoy.

the meat of the movie... the fights....HOOO BOYY THE FIGHT!!!
they punched so HARD they breaks reality lmao. ITS MASTERCLASS OF ACTION ANIMATION. FLUID, FAST, HECTIC YET DIGESTIBLE!! IDK HOW THEY DID IT BUT THEY DID IT ANYWAY!! Gosh darn IT its great

but it's not perfect however, some actions scenes clearly shows it's 3d animated.... that seems worst than Dragon Ball Fighters Z game :/ .
and some characters shown in the 30 min opening/setting up definitely going to confuse new audience if they are not familiar with Dragon Ball series,

but those "negatives" from me are only amounts to nitpicking tiniest **** as this is clearly targeted and a love letter to a dragon ball fans.

there are several things ,like neat little things i found that i truly love, but hey, it would be spoilery if i said here.

i only know Dragon Ball on the surface level and not thoroughly like most people and i had a fking great time with a huge smile on face,
and for that, i believe 10/10 of you people would leave the movie with a huge fking smile on your face like i did.

a must watch for dragonball super, fans, and casual fans alike , worth more than the price of admission, for newer audience it is worth to stay for the new characters n actions.

its a great movie, dare i say much more so than bnha movie.

also sorry to BnHA movie... Dragon Ball's is tad bit more focused and better animated than you. i love both though so don't worry.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a very good Dragonball movie. WAY better than the previous Broly movies, to be exact. I do prefer the old Bardock story this movie replaced, but it was cool to see new faces like young Raditz, Goku's mom and middle aged Napa.

I liked where they were going with Broly's character, with him being an abused Tarzan/Hercules basically. It's a much more mature backstory than being mad at Goku for making him cry as an infant. However, he devolved into a mindless, raging berserker halfway through the movie and I think that was a huge missed opportunity to complete his character arc. We'll be seeing him again, so hopefully they capitalize on this opportunity.

Overall, it could have been a bit better, but I'll take it. The trailers definitely spoiled everything as well, but I'm looking forward to more!… Expand

But most importantly, I enjoy what they did with Broly. If anyone has seen any of Broly's previous films, he was pretty much a mindless brute, with the personality of a boring potato (some potatoes are awesome). And it just got worse with the next movie involving him. Now, Broly has a personality other than hating Goku and it seems that they are going to be using him for the better.
So all in all, a good anime movie with great animation, fight scenes, ok soundtrack and best of all. They did Broly good… Expand

The only problem I have is the change of Bardock’s character into something more akin to Superman, which was never what Dragon Ball was ever about. He’s meant to be ruthless and evil, and that’s supposed to be passed down to Goku but fortunately didn’t thanks to the accident. I wish they kept that part the same...

Otherwise, all the other additions were perfect!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No Spoilers Time

Dragonball Super Broly is he newest animated film directed by Tatsuya Nagamine and written by none other than the legend Akira Toriyama. This movie was purely amazing and just so much fun to watch on the big screen. there is so much to love in this film and for Dragonball fans this is a great special treat that "we" dont get all the time. The story is about Broly who was kinda first introduced in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan. Both introducing Broly for the first time but the biggest thing that is different from the 1993 movie and this years movie is the story and back story behind Broly. Broly is actually a character and he is someone you will feel bad for and happy for in this movie and not be a big buff guy that scream CARROTS (just a joke). we learn how Broly survived the destruction of his planet and how he survived and this bond between Broly and his father Paragus is really good story to tell. Its not normal for Dragonball to have the greatest story to tell but this one took the cake. The story is really good and just as good as the animation and the fighting. Again this story is a really good but it does recon a WHOLE lot we knew about the first episode of Dragonball, including lots of throwbacks to characters we will know and references thats short. We are first shown this re writing of the origin of Dragonball and we are shown how the Saiyans came to be and how they came under the rule of Frieza, who is really intimidating from the start. We eventually show up to the present which takes place after Episode 131 of Dragonball Super. The fight we get into is really fun and there is so much about this fight that hasn't been shown. So many camera angles and shots were shown that were so fun to see and there are moments where you might feel some pain from the amazing performance by Sean Schemmel and cChristopher Sabat, and everyone else who worked on voice acting. Goku and Vegeta feel like they should be acting as always and they are a nice duo in this movie. Animation was dramatically different from traditional DragonBall and it works for 99 percent of the time. I could defiantly spot out the flaws but it didn't ruin the movie. We dont get movies like this a lot and its so much fun to see and I want to see it again. The detailed spoiler section will give more about this. But this movie gets a 9 out of 10 for me. SPOILER TIME YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

The plot and the story telling of this movie is really well and neatly paced, 100 minutes and it felt natural and nothing felt too rushed, only towards the end things were rushing along quickly. Frieza took a beating for a while hour in a just a minute of screen time to get to Gogeta. Broly's story is really good and way better than he 1993 Broly, and we get to see why Broly is a mad screaming fighter, he only had one friend and his dad to love, his green cape is a reminder of his only friend he had until the end, and its sad and yes Broly is sort of Allies with Goku. The fighting was great, everything felt smooth and quick. We had first person shots, low and high angle shots. Everything made since because Beerus wasn't her to save the day, it was up to Goku and Vegeta to stop Broly and the use of Fusion was wise because this confirms Gogeta into being Cannon. A lot is already said about the story of Broly and how sad and good his is. Music and Acting and Writing were all just great, the exchange of jokes about the 5 year sand 5 centimeters was PURE GENIUS and Vegeta and Goku and most other characters kept their personality as always. Frieza is as bad as always he is ruthless as always and the way he treat his men is Frieza, he is responsible for Paragus's death who I really loved as a character too and he could come back (DRAGON BALLS) he wasnt the greatest father but he wasnt the worst as well. He trained Broly for 41 years and taught him everything. Broly is the Legendary SSJ, but the way they show it is quick and not even talked about, he just turns into it. The final fight was great. The main setting was in an Antarctica like place and was perfect to show off the art and colors and just everything was a treat to watch, and just like Dragonball Z and Super there is punches and kicks, energy waves and so many explosions and even time breaks. editing was done well and so was cinematography because it was hand drawn. I would like a Cooler movie and also this also opens up the door the SSJ4 but theres things to look up about that. Broly of course is befriended sort of just like every single time Goku touches someone.I really want to see more movies like this with great stories and good action and taking pages from movies that are non cannon. I cant wait for the next journey in DragonBall and hopefully Super can come back soon. If graded this would get a 95 percent.… Expand

I'll say this, if you haven't watched the series, especially most of dragon ball super, you probably won't understand a lot of what's going on in this movie. They touch on the backstory as much as the time allows, but this is really made for fans of the series. If you haven't watched DBZ or DB Super, I would recommend becoming familiar with that before attempting to watch this if you really want to get the full experience. With that said, I got a delightful dose of nostalgia and I don't think I've ever enjoyed a movie in a theater as much as this one. We had a diverse crowd of all ages in a packed theater and there were several moments of laughs cheers gasps and everybody really got into it. I also really liked the re-imagined Broly character, they truly did him justice, much more so than in the original films. Without spoiling anything, I was expecting to be disappointed by the ending but left pleasantly surprised at how it plays out in the end for Broly as well as our heroes. I was slightly disappointed that a couple staple characters were notably missing from the movie, but it really didn't take away anything from the story. Overall, I think this is my favorite DB movie ever and it hopefully will lead to tons of new content moving forward. Dragonball forever!… Expand

A lengthy prologue finely describes the new origins or the Legendary Super Saiyan. Along with a few comical jokes and some greatly animated scenes, the movie itself had a few drawbacks. Being a hardcore Dragon Ball fan, I remember the original Broly movies. Having rewritten the characters story entirely felt... damaging. However, change is sometimes required. If they wish to make Broly canon from now on, this would most likely be the best approach. The prologue was most certainly lengthy to a point that made me anxious on my ass, just waiting for the action to begin. They could of possibly simplified the explanation for people to enjoy. During certain parts of the film, you'll have several "wtf" moments in terms of animation quality. Going from amazing and detailed aura transformations to oddly placed 3D formats that don't feel as appealing for a movie. These are scarce but memorable in a somewhat neutral way. The transformations on their own are in great and amazing detail. I feel however, that they could of done much better with other aspects of animation. For those of you who have indeed watched the fight between Goku and Jiren, those were my expectations in terms of quality animation. They delivered, just not in the way most people would expect. The movie is most certainly worth watching but be prepared to be stricken by a certain loss of nostalgia once you start listening in. It brings an entirely new story for Broly which places the original movies in the ancient past. This movie is canon to the Super series. Enjoy!… Expand

Back during the run of the show's predecessor Dragon Ball Z, there were multiple movies with their own villains. The most popular one was Broly, a guy from the same alien race as main character Goku. However, the movies really didn't quite fit within the continuity of the show. Now, this film written by original creator Akira Toriyama, officially brings Broly into the universe.

I rather enjoyed this one and think it's one of the strongest films in the franchise. This is the third of the recent Dragon Ball revival films. The first was big on story and low on action, the second was big on action and low on story, and this one finally finds a good balance, literally. The film is exactly 50% story followed by 50% action. This is definitely better than the second one. The first one has the better story but this one has the better action.

This movie probably has more story than other many other DB movies and it pays off. The script actually improves upon Broly and his father Paragus. Originally Broly was practically a personality-less berserker who had the weak origin of hating Goku because his crying kept him awake when they were infants. Here Broly is a tragic/sympathetic character with a more fleshed-out backstory. Paragus while still more of a traditional villain does have reasonable motivations for his actions.

The movie officially tells the tale of the destruction of Goku and Broly's home planet Vegeta and of Goku's parentage and its all done pretty creatively. Toriyama has always been very imaginative and his vision of outer space is very unique.

The only issue is that this is mostly a Broly story. Goku and Vegeta (not the planet but another member of their race; confusing ain't it?) are kind of supporting characters and only a handful of other cast members from the series show up. Still, I appreciated the film making us care for this villain who drops into the characters' lives from out of the blue. DB's best know villain Freeza does feature a lot. Instead of being the main physical threat here, he has realized he can't currently physically defeat, so he slimily tries to manipulate events and it actually builds upon his character. Freeze is more interesting here as a supporting villain than he was in the last movie where he was the main one.

The movie is also fairly funny and quirky. However, Freeza's plans for obtaining the wish-granting dragon balls here, which funny, is basically the exact same joke used in the villain's motivations in the Red Ribbon Army arc in the original Dragon Ball. (I've read that Toriyama has a bit of a bad memory when it comes to his own work.)

Plot has a couple other nitpicks: The ending is a little fast and too telegraphed. Also, you get tired real quick of Broly's new ally Cheelai constantly repeating why we should feel bad for him.

But enough about the story. What about what Dragon Ball is most known for?: The action. This may very well have best action scene in the entire film series or animated films in general. The main fight in the second half is intense as all get out. I mean it truly gets epic. Puts many previous DB fights to shame. Thid movie doesn't have the biggest budget, but the animators really put their all into it.

Speaking of the animation, the whole thing is really colorful and unique to look at. The music during the fight scene really builds upon the mood.

If you're a fan of DB, you're sure to love it. I saw audience members in the theater applaud this. If you're not familiar, well this is a long series and may be difficult to get into. However, if you like action and are okay with watching stuff out of continuity, then you may want to try this out.… Expand
