Dragon Ball Z Movie 10: Kiken na Futari! Super Senshi wa Nemurenai

First of all, i would say that am a big DBZ fan. But it is true that DBZ movies lack something that the series had.. this one is not an exception.

We get to see more of Trunks and Goten in this one.

Broly, the legendary super saiyan who was defeated in one of the previous movies came back to defeat kakarot. He was awakened by goten whose cry resembled to that of Goku's when he was a kid. It was stupid because when goku was infant, so was broly by that time... we never know how he reminisced goku's cry so well.

The strength of ... this movie lies in its climax where we get to see a 'family kamehameha' of goku, gohan and goten. That was one of the most memorable moments of the series. there are also some good comic scenes in involving goten and trunks which are good to watch. Videl is quite annoying.

this is only for those who do not mind the loop holes of the plot (as there are many). So finally i say, do watch it if you are a DBZ fan.

Broly: The Second Coming is quite possibly the worst out of the DBZ movies. I mean this movie is absolutely terrible from the beginning to around the last three minutes. Dragonball Z has always been something that was heavily focused on its action. Unfortunately, the action takes a backseat to some horrible and very annoying comedy, and it doesn't even deliver on the action when it finally gets there. Also, like the previous movies, this is not something a newbie can jump into. Someone new to the franchise will be completely lost, but for the fans, this actually feels like it could have taken place ... at some point during the Great Saiyaman Saga.

The plot follows Goten and Trunks as they search for the Dragon Balls to make a wish. Their journey ends when they meet up with the blood thirsty Broly whom confuses Goten with Goku. This begins a cat and mouse game that sees Goten and Trunks doing whatever possible to stay alive until someone stronger can battle Broly.

Do not come into this movie expecting anything you saw in Broly's first appearance. Now the first movie wasn't great by no means, still though, it managed to excel where it counts for the most part. Plus it had a more interesting cast to work with. Here, the pacing is atrocious, and I find this movie very difficult to sit through to the point where I have to hit the fast forward. Trunks and Goten are the main characters here and their ridiculous antics are at their peak. These two characters are barely tolerable in small doses, so giving them their own movie can only be described as cringe-inducing. The plot is incredibly boring, and a person may think that things would pick up when Broly finally makes his appearance. Unfortunately, the writers saw fit to turn Broly into a one dimensional idiot that had a hard time killing two Saiyan children and a human girl. I found him to be very disappointing when comparing him to his first appearance. The action scenes completely lack imagination and are uninspired.

The production values aren't half bad though. I didn't have an issue with the animation, and the light show during the final moments is a plus. The action doesn't consist of the reused cel combat, but I was actually missing at least that much, since the rest of the action was so weak and slow. The BGM attempts to add some type of flare to the action, but it simply cannot save these poor segments.

So what do you get when you have a movie with very bad comedy, rotten action, and a weak antagonist? Well, you get Broly: The Second Coming, and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone other than serious DBZ fans. This flick is that bad.

Highs: Ending

Lows: There are way too many

Time to tackle a DBZ movie for a change, since my previous reviews were on Pokemon movies and 1 Pokemon short. As with my other reviews, I'm looking at the English dub and not the sub. However, I did manage to watch the full, uncut version of this film, so there can't possibly be any deleted scenes that would affect this movie's score like there were with previous ones.

Story: Due to this being a sequel to, arguably, one of the best DBZ movies that have been made, the story isn't as detailed as before. There's no backstory to why Broly wants to destroy Earth since ... almost everything about him was explained in the previous film, which I'm fine with. However, what I'm not fine with is characters randomly popping out of nowhere to save the day without much explanation outside of "I was in the neighborhood and figured you'd want help". There's also some incredibly thick plot armor surrounding just about every character since no matter what Broly does to them, the most he does is just knock them out. This series pretty much thrives on characters dying and they've worked around the "Bringing back the dead only works once" rule several times, so it's not like they couldn't have killed at least someone off. There's also the matter of some really childish jokes, mostly piss jokes, that I'd expect from an Adam Sandler movie, not DBZ.

Art: The artwork for this movie is the same as the show, which I find a bit upsetting since most anime movies based off the shows can at least put a bit more detail into the movie than the show can. However, it's not that bothering since the artwork of the show isn't the worst I've ever seen.

Sound: I have a mixed bag with this. On one hand, the soundtrack is amazing, pretty much like most other DBZ movies. There's some amazing songs that get your blood pumping for the fights, which I love. On the other hand, though, some of the voice acting is either terrible, annoying, or both. I've never liked Goten all that much in the show due to how annoying he can be and how terrible his voice sounds. While some would defend him saying that he's just a kid, so of course he's going to whine a lot and just be overall annoying, I'd say look at how Gohan developed. Yeah, he started off annoying as well, but once he got used to being a fighter, he became pretty cool. With Goten, he's already a pretty good fighter, but still annoys the crap out of me. There's also a lot of supporting actors that do a terrible job at voice acting, but at least they only get a few lines.

Character: Like stated above, I don't like Goten. At all. However, the other characters aren't as bad, but most just serve as distractions until the real fight begins between Gohan and Broly. Videl gets knocked out pretty early on which is followed by a lot of piss jokes along with other childish humor from Goten and Trunks.

Enjoyment: I personally find this not only the weakest of the Broly trilogy, but the weakest of all the DBZ movies I've seen. While the action was great, it doesn't really get started until the second half. While that's the same case with the first Broly movie, at least that one had the excuse of building up Broly as a character whereas this one just uses it to fill time until Gohan arrives.

I really enjoy that this was a light-hearted entry in the series packed with humor and had an interesting "gotta survive against an unbeatable foe" setup for a while. However, the proportion of the movie that is an endless fight scene is inversely proportional to how much I enjoy these Dragon Ball movies, and this one started well before the halfway point.

No Goku, not even Gohan for most of it, is pretty neat. Goten, Trunks, and Videl accidentally stumble on Broly, and none of them are anywhere near able to defeat him without the use of the Dragon Balls, which they have to finish collecting. ... That's a good plot! But... it still turns into a power levels battle by the end of it, copping out on its brief promise of a legitimately interesting resolution.

I don't think people remember exactly what parts of Dragon Ball Z people actually look back so fondly to-- it's not the forty episode fight scenes that drag on for ages because the animators didn't want to catch up with the manga, it's the buildups to them. In the Frieza Saga, Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma go to Planet Namek to find the Dragon Balls on that planet, but at the same time, Frieza is there for the same reason, and Vegeta is there as a rogue agent trying to collect them for his own ends. There's two villains simultaneously fighting each other while trying to collect the Dragon Balls, and the heroes are trapped in the middle, way weaker but with the advantage of not being noticed. It's this really tension-filled thriller plot as the heroes zip across the planet trying to save the day without getting murderized, and only when Goku arrives to help does the story turn into the endless fighting it's all remembered for.

That ramble is to say, boo on Toei for not going all the way with this second Broly movie and having our weak heroes defeat the rampaging villain with their wits (and Shen Long's infinite wish granting powers).

Continuity Problems: Actually, besides the fact that the previous Broly movie is timeline-impossible, this one fits pretty well into the vague area where everyone's training for the Budokai Tenkaichi. It has the minor error of Videl seeing just how strong Goten and Trunks are despite being thoroughly surprised by it at the tournament itself, but that's the type of thing that can be handwaved.

Trunks pees on Broly, wich makes this so much better than the original Broly movie.

Jokes aside: I prefer this one a lot more over "The Legendary Supar Saiyan". The story isn't a dumpsterfire and stays extremely simple, it's funny, and it's just an enjoyable watch. Apart from that, it's your normal DBZ movie: predictable plot, Goku saves the day, retcons, plot armor, getting saved at the last second, pure fun.

Did I mention that Trunks pees on Broly? He PEES on the guy that absolutely destroyed Gohan, Vegeta, Future Trunks and Goku! HE PISSES ON HIM!!! EMPTIES HIS BLADDER ON HIM!!!! TRINKLES HIS URINE ON THE ... PERSON THAT CALLS HIMSELF BROLY, THE ANTAGONIST OF THIS MOVIE, THE LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN!!!!

It's terrible. The early part is annoying babbling about nothing important, screeching, crying, just annoying shit with Trunks and Goten. Even Videl acts weird and goes on a pointless speech to boring characters. It drags on then eventually Broly shows up. He looks kinda shit in the movie, like there's something off with his design. The fighting is pretty boring, more screaming and pissing from Trunks and Goten, comedy bits where they're looking for the dragon balls. Then other characters just show up to help. There's a plan that never even should've been considered, then they just overpower him.

Some people say the third Broly movie ... is worse, but this movie is debatably just as bad, other than at least having Broly kind of look like Broly. Somehow this one seems more painful to get through.

tho i love broly and i love dbz in general this one was very mediocre to sit trough i think my biggest problem with this one was gotten trunks and videl.lets start with videl she was not anoying or bad she just dindt fit in this movie becouse she cannot do anything against brolly and she was more of a person that gohan needs to save
now gotten and trunks ok here we go.they are the worst part about this movie they where cringe annoying stupid and where telling jokes talhat where not funny and seemed to be very forced.Ok now i will talk about ... a segment of a battel against brolly when he woke up so goten an trunks fight him for a bit then they see a final dragon ball and they come up with the plan to ask a dragon to defeat brolly so trunks distracts him so goten can grab the ball so how did trunks distracts him ki blast moving fast punching him that would be good right but he starts name caling him and shows him his ass well that moment left me empty i know db is comedic to but when battle starts it gets serious.now goten part when he collects all dragon balls but do to his clumsiness he losses it so you tell me that goten can take a puch from brolly but when a ball idk if its a perl or a rock who looks like a ball hit him in a head hes hurt i mean i understand its for comedic purpose it happend in dbz to like goku afraid of needless but its was of battel and good timed joke when it happed but this one was meh so the next part while trunks distracts him this time by fighting thank god gotten desides to take a piss sigh really was that needed in a battel where trunks might die becouse hes fighting against the enemy how hes beyond he's level he desides to take a piss ok so gotten finds a ball next part so trunks hides from brolly and fells ashamed for him self becouse hes a saiyan you know this part i fought trunks will be motived to fight like a warrior like he's father but no he keeps hiding and you know what he wants to take a piss sight again lets just move on so goten comes to trunks to say hes found them all so what do they do summon shenron right away no they come out to mock broly and say they defend him because they have shenron on they're side so goten goes to summon him in a cave very bright idea in a first place so he understands finally that shenron is a big dragon and needs to be summoned outside so goten goes outside on foot for some reason so brolly picks up trunks and starts breaking he's back so guess what happens next trunks pisses on brollys face "face palm" so brolly trow him down goten grabs him and they are trying to get away but brollys ki blast stops them so when brolly is about to hit critical blast gohan saves them well its best part of the movie when gohan shows up battel was good not the best but it holds up well animations where good and gohan uses the lava to defeat brolly at least he fought so so hes exhausted and he falls on the rock and falls asleep but krilin comes and picks him up so as expected brolly arise from lava then he knocks out krilin with one blast "not really an achievement"the gohan continued fighting him until the bag that holds up the dragon balls rips and goten summoned shenron and wished goku back for a limited time then gohan blasted kamehame ha goten joined him and then goku appears and joins them to and that kamehame ha was awesome one of the best parts to so they out power brolly and killed him and thats it then characters intaracted fo a while and movie ended so in conclusion. movie was mediocre its not the worst for 4 things animations gohan vs brolly soundtrack and the kamehame ha that ended the battle. so i would only recommend this for hardcore fans the fan base not really if you read all of this thanks for your attention
