It was nice for a change to get a Piccolo/Gohan-centric film, but why then show a whole sequence with Goku and Vegeta that goes nowhere?

Also, the animation looks ugly during that part, unlike the rest of the film, where the mix between 2D and 3D wasn't as bad as expected.

But these Dragon Ball films keep being tiring. The exposition-heavy segments are boring, and their insistence on bringing villains from the past is annoying. It's time for the franchise to move on.

Nevertheless, there are some cool segments in there. Almost all the fights are awesome, and it was great to see super-powered Gohan 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. One of the best things about this“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. 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The intro is a lot of filler from Dragon Ball and DBZ regarding Dr. Gero, the Androids, Cell, and so on. So the first 3 to 5 minutes can be really dull if you know your dragon ball lore/events.

A really slow start to the movie with a few good scenes between Piccolo and Pan (Pan is just wholesome throughout this entire movie). Some filler stuff with Goku and Vegeta training together that didn't need to be in this movie, since we are mainly focusing on Piccolo, Gohan, and the Red Ribbon army.

Piccolo's screen time with his first transformation ever was a little short to my liking, since it's the first time he ever changes looks and I think they should've put more focus on him evolving rather than skipping through it (But that's definitely more of a problem with another character).
Orange Piccolo is kind of a weird/unoriginal name, but fits the character that he doesn't want to be much of a show of and just focuses on the fighting aspect.

As always in Shonen movies, the fight scenes are the best part with the environmental destruction and the color of the energy blasts is really nice to look at.

We kind of have a Wolverine: Origins moment where they literally take one of (if not the most) charismatic characters in Dragon Ball history and make him not speak. Cell Max just has a monkey brain through this entire movie and just yells and screams like he's just come from the insane asylum. Cell is definitely the most disappointing part of this movie.

And finally, we also have a moment that I thought would be cool, but just gets really lame. Gohan finally goes through a new transformation and he is in this transformation for ONLY 2 MINUTES. They literally had more screen time for Goku and Vegeta fighting than showing off Gohan finally using some of his hidden powers.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Está me parecería una película notable de no ser por las dos absurdas transformaciones que aparecen en ella. Un desastre para el canon de la saga. No criticaré el estilo particular de la animación, pero personalmente no me gusta y creo que "Broly" era el camino a seguir. Me parece estupendo que aparezca Pan y la idea de los dos "Superhéroes" engañados. Pero lo de volver a hacer Bio Broly con Célula me parece de una falta de imaginación alarmante.

Lo peor es que la saga se ríe de sí misma rompiendo aún más su coherencia interna al elevar de manera drástica el poder de varios personajes por arte de magia, con unas transformaciones además cuanto menos pintorescas.… Expand
