Dragon Ball Super: Broly

Forty-one years ago on Planet Vegeta, home of the infamous Saiyan warrior race, King Vegeta noticed a baby named Broly whose latent power exceeded that of his own son. Believing that Broly's power would one day surpass that of his child, Vegeta, the king sends Broly to the desolate planet Vampa. Broly's father Paragus follows after him, intent on rescuing his son. However, his ship gets damaged, causing the two to spend years trapped on the barren world, unaware of the salvation that would one day come from an unlikely ally.

Years later on Earth, Gokuu Son and Prince Vegeta—believed to be the last survivors of the Saiyan race—are busy training on a remote island. But their sparring is interrupted when the appearance of their old enemy Frieza drives them to search for the last of the wish-granting Dragon Balls on a frozen continent. Once there, Frieza shows off his new allies: Paragus and the now extremely powerful Broly. A legendary battle that shakes the foundation of the world ensues as Gokuu and Vegeta face off against Broly, a warrior without equal whose rage is just waiting to be unleashed.

Going into this movie I had almost zero knowledge around Dragon Ball besides its main characters. Proving that you need not know quite literally anything about Dragon Ball and you'll still heavily enjoy this thrill ride. Nevertheless the movie didn't have to do much explaining for me to understand everything that was going on and delivered on being extremely hype. The best part of this movie hands down goes to the cinematography. Absolutely had a blast watching this movie and could recommend it to anyone that loves a good action movie. No complaints at all, never bored, never confused, never disappointed.

Mixed Feelings

DBZ has a rubbish script and nothing innovative, I'm a big DBZ fan but Akira Toriyama didn't do anything innovative in this movie, this movie looked like a compilation of every DBZ movie I've seen before.

It's very ''script power'' Broly reach quintillion fighting power points just with his willpower, so if you follow this logic Broly could beat even Whis, this movie was just shit, the only one good thing was the animation

Don't get me wrong, I'm really a HUGE fan of DBZ series, and as a fan I would like the Author to have the least bit of empathy and not do the same ... story line EVER in every movie

coming back to this years later to say this movie is pretty shit. this style of fireworks lightshow action doesnt work well for dragon ball at all, not to mention it ruins broly's character by turning him into a "goodest boy" fanfiction pet dog.

broly from Z was way cooler. before he transformed he was a creep who walked around in a constant trance, and after he transformed he took on all the Z fighters at the same time without flinching and killed his own father. he felt like legitimate threat.

broly in this movie? the guys take turns fighting him and let frieza get knocked ... around for a bit while they learn how to fuse. doesn't feel like a real threat.

and the biggest offense: the backgrounds. the Z movies were so great bc we got to see our favourite characters doing action over cool backgrounds and in cool settings, something we didn't get to see in the show or manga bc toriyama was an admittedly lazy mangaka who didn't like to draw backgrounds. so in Z broly, we get to see our heroes all get the fucking shit beat out of them on a desolate world, getting smashed through hollow architecture, making a mockery out of this long dead civilization. our titanic heroes feel the way they always should've felt: like human-sized kaiju.

super broly takes place in a fucking cg ice field. it doesn't even necessarily look bad all the time, it's just uninspired. it takes too much uncritical influence from toriyama. i like the fact that broly becomes a good guy at the end but it would've been way more interesting if he maintained that creepyass personality he was born with in the Z movie.

also, the ruination of bardock's character at the beginning was horrifying to see. i love toriyama but it's true that some of the best stuff from dbz wasn't even made by him.

edit: also, turning broly into a generic angry guy is boring. his anger was once tempered by his love for violence. he was smiling as he manhandled our beloved heroes. he felt like a genuine threat. you couldn't just take turns on him. you had to rush him all at once and even still he would demolish you. this new guy is just angry the whole time and doesn't even say words, and we have the luxury of siccing frieza on him while we learn how to dance
