Appropriately for a movie with two uses of “super” in its title, everything in this DB film looks and feels supersized. It’s a ton of fun to watch on the big screen. Read full review

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is a fun movie that knows how to use its humor and has fun with the fights, but it’s very conscious that you need to care about those characters to enjoy the ride. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero isn’t afraid to let go of brainless action in favor of developing its own plot and spending quiet time with some fan favorites. Read full review

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is a must see for fans that salutes one of the series’ best relationships, but newcomers interested in more than the fun of an action-packed visual spectacle might want to check out some of the TV series first. Read full review

The Dragon Ball franchise’s first 3D CG-animated feature film is a fun, low-stakes love letter to Gohan fans with exciting momentum as well as room for some moving sentimentality amidst earth-shattering fights. Read full review

While this new “Dragon Ball” spinoff may not be all things to all viewers, it’s also a thrilling showcase for Toriyama’s beloved characters. Read full review

The look of Dragon Ball is changing, and Super Hero represents its growing pains. But it also represents a willingness to look its longevity in the face and, like all long-running serials, see what passing the torch once again really means. Read full review

A serious upgrade in “Dragon Ball” franchise animation runs up against the same overdoses of exposition, endless back story and arcane plot contrivances designed to pit characters against each other in epic throwdowns in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Read full review

Las 2 ultimas entregas de Dragon Ball si puede llamarse PELICULAS, tienen su pricio, desarrollo y final bien establecidos. la animacion hecha por computadora creo le queda bien. las animaciones se sienten mas fluidas. no hace falta tanto detalle cuando la velocidad es alta. esos guiños queLas 2 ultimas entregas de Dragon Ball si puede llamarse PELICULAS, tienen su pricio, desarrollo y final bien establecidos. la animacion hecha por computadora creo le queda bien. las animaciones se sienten mas fluidas. no hace falta tanto detalle cuando la velocidad es alta. esos guiños que solo los que hemos visto la serie desde niños podemos entender. esa familiaridad con la que se hablan los personajes es entrañable. excelente pelicula. venga la saga de MORO!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For those who said this movie looked bad, it honestly does not; Plus Gohan, Piccolo, and Pan were completely redeemed from their previous portrayal. Also, the Gammas were the showstoppers, and Cell Max even though was imperfect, was nice as a mindless villan since there's no connection to the previous one. Therefore, it's only a complete different one.… Expand

I entered this movie with low expectation and I enjoyed it. I like how they references a lot of weird things from the DB Universe like Gohan using glasses despite fighting with perfect vision, or Goten and Trunks being small kid for the whole duration of Super, or Piccolo never using hisI entered this movie with low expectation and I enjoyed it. I like how they references a lot of weird things from the DB Universe like Gohan using glasses despite fighting with perfect vision, or Goten and Trunks being small kid for the whole duration of Super, or Piccolo never using his giant form again.

It's just a fun project and I love seeing Gohan getting some love.

The animation style is definitely peculiar but I love how the studio tried new things with it: there's a lot of camera work going on that would never be possible on 2D. I cannot say it's my favorite, but I enjoyed it none the less.… Expand

It's a fine film tho I would've prefferd traditional 2D animation, however they did a fine job on mixing 3D with 2D, but the story itself for me it's 50/50 I like the fact that piccolo gets the spotlight and Gohan to buy they weren't written very interesting in this movie piccolo is stillIt's a fine film tho I would've prefferd traditional 2D animation, however they did a fine job on mixing 3D with 2D, but the story itself for me it's 50/50 I like the fact that piccolo gets the spotlight and Gohan to buy they weren't written very interesting in this movie piccolo is still training somewhat and gains 2 new transformations he gets his potential unleashed form and a he gets orange piccolo form Wich looks badass imo, Gohan on the other hand gets a transformation that's simply fan service and doesn't really earn especially since Piccolo stated he stopped training again his dramatic increase in power in to Beast Goan is not earned and anyway and yet somehow has the strength to be stronger than super Saiyan blue.
Makes no sense.
Now the villains in the movie Gamma 1 and 2 they look more like robots than androids and I didn't find them particularly interesting at all they needed more time to develop. Also the fact that the red ribbon army is back has been done to death it's not an original idea it just seems lazy.
And the big bad Cell Max was not a terrible idea but I wish they just brought back Perfect Cell he was leagues more interesting than a giant raging monster
I mean resurrection F brought Frieza back why not Cell he was my favorite villian in the entire DBZ anime.
That's about it Pan was fine I guess piccolo was pretty cool Gohan was alright but the Villains weren't interesting.

Dragon Ball Super Broly was way better and done right do that again.… Expand

“Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” was a fun watch. Just to get one thing out of the way: The CG animation isn’t that bad. Quite the contrary, it made for a lot of cool shots and dynamic camera angles.

Just to get one thing out of the way: The CG animation isn’t that bad. Quite the contrary, it made for a lot of cool shots and dynamic camera angles. One of the best things about this movie, is the fact that they focus on other characters besides the two main hitters. It’s so refreshing to NOT see Goku and Vegeta front and center for a change, and have the rest of the gang take care of business!

All that said, one problem I had with the movie was that it didn’t do much to pump me up the way the other movies did. This is BY FAR the weakest movie in the “Dragon Ball Super” series, feeling like a silly filler arc most of the time with very weak steaks that don’t really sell you on it’s premise. Also, the "Big Bad" is a mere shell of one of the best villain's in the whole series. As a non-canon movie, this movie isn’t necessarily required viewing, but if you’re a big “Dragon Ball” fan, this is a solid matinee movie.… Expand

it's just nostalgic
DB is overrated, animations sucks, MC sucks, second characters don't do anything.
