Give me twenty minutes of banter between Goku and Vegeta, and I’ll be the happiest man on Earth, right now. I know that fillers can be a bit boring, but for me, they were just another way of getting to know these characters. I care so much about them because they were beautifully-developed throughout hundreds of episodes. They mean something because these characters are important to me. If characters like Goku and Vegeta, but also Piccolo, Gohan or even Frieza didn’t exist, their battles wouldn’t have the same impact. As a hardcore fan of the saga, it’s so much more than that. Yes, everyone loves them, and there are a lot of fans who only care about the actual moment when our heroes fight their enemies. However, Dragon Ball isn’t about the fights. God, Super ended a year ago, and I still find myself watching the final fight with Jiren every week or so. From the get-go, you know you’ll feel every punch, kick, “Kamehameha” and “Galick Gun.” Goku, Vegeta, and Broly provide so many amazing action scenes, and I know I’ll constantly rewatch them once they become available. The sound design is incredibly powerful, as well. Finally, I can understand Krillin when he says “how are you following that?!” Everything flows in such a flawless style: the characters, the blasts, the environment, everything. The aspect I love the most is probably how fast it all is. There are so many long sequences of choreographed fights, with the animation always on-point, and with exceptional editing. This is the only word in the dictionary that can reflect how crazily good the animation is. The Tournament of Power arc is undeniable proof that when the production leaves the animators work with no pressure, the end result is outstanding. Super gave the fans a glimpse of what the animation level could be if time was not an issue for the animators.

You know when you go with friends to watch a movie and something so awesome occurs that you just look at each other in awe of what just happened? That’s Broly every single minute from the moment the fight begins. The animation quality is absolutely jaw-dropping.

The box office results are mind-blowing which will surely guarantee the continuation of Super (I’m waiting every single day for the news of the series renewal), and the film is, in fact, astonishing.
Basically, these first movies were trying to bring back Dragon Ball to life while Broly is all about keeping it alive and showing it still has tremendous potential. When the first two films were released, Super didn’t exist yet. Dragon Ball Super elevated the anime once again and brought it back to the mainstream, so obviously, Broly had a lot of advantages since the studios offered everything they could so that the movie would be a major success. Of course, I need to be fair to those first films. Broly easily surpasses these two, in almost every aspect. Still, Battle of Gods and Resurrection ‘F’ were pretty great, especially the former. Yes, the track record wasn’t that good to begin with, and most of the movies released aren’t even canon. This is the best Dragon Ball film ever, by a long shot. So, with that out of the way, and assuming I’m writing for fans of the anime … I’ve seen critics bashing this film to shreds, and they start their reviews stating “I’ve never seen the anime.” Then why would you watch a movie that clearly follows the anime’s story and review it? Just leave it alone! It’s like watching Avengers: Endgame without ever watching a single one of the 21 previous installments. You won’t recognize certain characters, you won’t understand how and why some guys are still alive, and you’ll have no clue about how strong our warriors became.
If you stopped following Dragon Ball after Z or you don’t even know what DB is, you’ll basically be lost. Nevertheless, I must advise you: this animated flick is NOT for a casual moviegoer! Broly is everything I wished for and more. Finally! I was tired of expecting big things from movies I really wanted to become a huge success, just to get ultimately disappointed. Yesterday, it was my first time watching my favorite anime on the big screen, and oh my God, it was AWESOME! Finally, I watched a film that I was highly anticipating, and I actually enjoyed it. It’s impossible to create a sentence that seamlessly lets you know how nervously excited I was right before the movie started. I would love to be able to describe in words what Dragon Ball means to me, but I can’t. So, unless you kept up with the anime, this film isn’t for you. This is the third canon (or official if you’re not familiar with anime terms) Dragon Ball movie, after Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’.
