| Gohan Blanco is canon and Orange Piccolo is cool too Cell Max is underwhelming he just rages and rages and we got a glimpse of Android 21 (her human name is Vomi) she is the wife of Dr. Gero looks like she is canon too and might show up in the future this is a very good 3DCG movie too lots of camera circus shots that will be hard to animate by hand imo, its like they have many Naotoshi Shida doing those itano circus scenes |
| Quite good movie. Better than I thought it would be after I saw its first trailer months ago. And yup, Gohan Blanco is canon, haha. ;D |
| Lmao the meme became a reality, Gohan Blanco is canon XD, to be fair we already knew that Toriyama loves his latino fanbase since we know that the Broly movie added chanting to its music was inspired by latino countries cheering during the final fight of DB Super while watching the final eps in public spaces |
 |
| Where to watch, movie didn't get a release in my country (India). |

| Not even with all the nostalgia they threw in it they saved it. One of the worst DB movies. 5/10 and I'm pushing it because of Gohan and Piccolo's new forms. |

Whis: My, I wonder what that was all about…? source https://pastebin.com/ByBQ1E69 |
| It was surprisingly entertaining, the CGI was done better than expected. Would be nice to see how Gohan Blanco would fare against Broly. A lot of potential and material for future movies. I just sincerely hope they include a proper menace/villian next time where these new power levels can be properly displayed. And/or show different Fusion combinations like Groly (Goku+Broly) or Vegan XD (Vegeta + Gohan). |

| Love that Piccolo and Gohan finally got the spotlight, but it definitely feels forced why they had their best fighters unavailable for the fight. Goku and Vegeta were too busy, Buu was sleeping and Android 17 would be at a disadvantage because the engineer would know his weakness...? Alright, lol. Piccolo and Gohan's power ups feels like it didn't have much buildup to it and feels unearned, but whatever. The movie was definitely a spectacle since the CG work was very good. The models are nice and there was a good usage of held keyframes to minic 2D animation, while using the camera to their advantage since it's 3D. It may not look as good as the Broly movie's highlight moments, but the animation here was serviceable enough. The score was kinda mediocre, definitely a step down from the last movie. I can't recall any OSTs that stuck out to me. Overall, I still had a lot of fun with the movie. The action was exciting and the comedic moments in the first half were fun enough. 6/10 Also, seeing Android 21 being referenced shocked me, lmao!! Is FighterZ canon? If so, that's kinda cool. |

If so, that's kinda cool. She also appears in the Kakarot game working for Capsule Corp, but it's the original person, not the android based off of her, which kinda makes it weird that Gero created a copy of her even though she was still alive, unlike their son. |

| Watched it at the cinema with a few friends today. Not bad and the cgi looked really good at times, the worst looking parts being on Beerus’ planet but aside from that the fights were good. I actually like Gamma 1. Prefer his stoic character over Gamma 2 aloof personality. Piccolo’s new form looks kinda bland and I didn’t expect them to actually make Gohan Blanco canon lol |
 |
| Just watched the movie and I really enjoyed it. Gohan Blanco does look epic AF |
| As fun as it was, I didn't fully love the fight choreography like I did in the Broly movie. I personally prefer the art style fights over cgi. Although, it was better after the first half. Even though there was something off about it from Gohan being manipulated and knowing any of them can be brought back to life, while it's obvious Cell Max would be a short-lived villain... it was enjoyable as is. Pan was adorable and awesome. Except I wonder why she couldn't fly at 3 years old now when she could as a baby. Gamma 2 fading off in ash was odd since it didn't happen the instant he died, but much later. Slight flaws on that, I think, but. Aside from that, as fast-paced and simple as it is, seeing Piccolo and Gohan gain new transformations and especially Gohan reaching his potential to become the mightiest was great. The comedy of Bulma's cosmetic wishes, etc. was enjoyable, along with the villains being short. Beerus having a crush on Cheelai was fun. Goku and the gang being painted as villains by the red ribon army was funny too. Basic but fun little comedy. Even though the moments are small, I was very invested on how thrilling or dramatic the scenes were when Gohan is losing or Piccolo supposedly died. Again, there's something a little off about it, nor is it a favorite but I love it for what it is and what it gives with Pan, Piccolo and Gohan. Seeing Broly and the others was nice as well. Frustrating that Vic still didn't reprise his role though... Gohan Beast and Orange Piccolo aren't great names, but whatever. Vegeta beating Goku in a sparring match was sweet as well. Cell Max's potential was great but lackluster, so hopefully a proper form can come back maybe. I wonder what the Dr. Hedo gang will be involved in in the future aside from working for Bulma. Gotta say, I understand the hype of Bulma's ass trending now, haha. 7/10. |

| There are 10/10 moments scattered about, but the movie overall was exceedingly underwhelming. Easily my least favorite of the new generation of films. The animation style was better than I expected going in, but I still was not a fan of the CGI art style either. Was really looking forward to a Gohan/Piccolo-centric story too, so it bums me out that I didn't really enjoy it. |
| I just came back from the theater. It was the first Dragon Ball movie ever screened in my country, so I was quite excited. The animation was better than I expected but didn't feel like the usual style of Dragon Ball. The plot was nice and simple, and it was refreshing they focused on some other characters for a change. It also had some nostalgic throwbacks and references to the OG Dragon Ball. The humor was also on point, especially the parts with Bulma and Gotenks. It was great seeing Picollo and Gohan working together again and coming a full circle, although I feel the inclusion of Krillin and the gang in the fight was redundant. They should have focused on Gohan's Piccolo dynamic more. Overall, I had a great experience. I can't wait for the new season coming in 2023. |
My candies:  |
| Just saw it in theaters in sub. That was a great movie. Gohans temporary return to power. Piccolos power boost. Pan being a cutie. Cheelai being cute. Beerus finding someone attractive. Gohan using the special beam cannon. Great fanservice and easter eggs. And Vegeta canonically beating Goku. |
 |
| I was not a big fan of the film, especially compared to the previous Broly film. Too much flab on this one while Broly was tight with its characters and story. Not a fan of this animation either, got used to it by the end but was distracting. I understand the movie needed to keep Goku and Vegeta occupied so that Piccolo and Gohan could be focused on here but I was simply not interested, felt a waste of time when there was such a big threat going on Earth. Humor didn't work for me either. Around the time that the RR was kidnapping Pan was about where the movie picked up for me and got better as it really focused up. Still overall was only a decent watch for me. Hovering around a 7/10 or a high 6 as a rating for me. |
 |
| I totally forgot we saw this last night. I like the movie in fact it's good. Felt like repeat of the android arc. To me at least. |
| I really disliked it. Second worst DB movie IMO (Bio Broly still the worst). The only positive I can say is that the Gamma androids were super cool and Pan+Piccolo scenes were very wholesome, but oh boy, everything else was terrible. |
| Just finished watching the movie, was the only person in my theater so I basically had a private viewing lmao. I must admit, I had been shitting on the film and art style since the first image and trailer dropped a few months ago and I definitely regret it. Despite not liking CGI, I really ended up enjoying how it was used in the film. It was so nice to see the Broly crew back in action. Been 4 years which is insane to think! Broly still hasn’t learnt to control his powers lol. And beerus has a crush?? On cheelai?? That was hilarious “you’re cute, you can stay” I love how they addressed the fact that this all could have been avoided had they just wished the red ribbon army away lmao. At least piccolo was honest about just wanting to do it the traditional way, I respect that. I wish Cell Max would have had some memories of Gohan and his original self, that would have taken the movie to an even better score for me personally. The final fight reminded me a LOT of the Bio Broly movie which I watched hundreds of times back in the day lol. In fact I’m pretty sure it was the same people in this final fight that was in that one and same circumstances with Goku and Vegeta being away lol. The CGI allowed them to really go over the top with the Cell Max fight. Gamma’s suicide dive was awesome. RIP to a real hero. I hope we get a name for Gohan’s new form and see more of it. That was sick. It actually reminds me a lot of those SSJ 1-10 videos that we used to watch on YouTube back in the day lmao. Piccolo being useful again for the first time since the cell saga(ironic) was great to see. His shenron power boost could definitely be useful in future fights. Pan stole the show for me. Her moments were so damn adorable lol. Anyway, I could talk for hours about this so I’ll end with this. Movie was great. Not as good as Broly, but it was a cool change up. Hope the anime comes back soon. Review is also up. |

| Just got back from watching Super Hero and I enjoyed it. Was it as flashy as the Broly movie? Of course not, but this film had its own special charm to it. The CGI wasn't as bad and it really played into the Super Hero theme. There were a lot of call backs to the older series for hardcore Dragon Ball fans along with some perfectly timed comedic moments that didn't wore out its welcome. The most important thing was that it gave Piccolo something to do besides fighting while Gohan was taking his time to spring into action like it was their own little adventure. We got to see Goku and Vegeta fight while Broly, Whis, and Berus were watching along with the crew that was traveling with Broly. I really like the new characters of the Gamma 1 and 2(rip) and Dr Hedio not being evil as Dr. Gero. I'm curious to see how they fit into the Dragon Ball universe. Magenta played the classic villain for the new Red Ribbon army and I liked the call back made to the previous series with him being the son of the former leader of the Red Ribbon army. Cell Max was not very impressive to me as all it did scream and rage out of control like Broly did, but he did serve his purpose as the final boss of the movie giving us a decent fight out of it. It was cool to see 18, Krillin, Goten and Trunks show up to fight Cell Max too. Gohan's new transformation looked impressive, but we didn't get to see enough of it since he only did a few moves plus the Special Beam Cannon. At least we get see Piccolo do something with his new transformation when he was fighting Gamma 2. I hope these aren't one off transformations for Gohan and Piccolo as Dragon Ball Super has been playing fast and loose with the transformations recently. What I really like is just seeing Gohan fight as he went from Super Saiyan to Ultimate(Mystic) form. Pan showed a little bit of potential as she finally learned how to fly. Overall the movie was very entertaining and I'll be buying this and the Broly movie on Blue Ray. I think this movie continues to show that Gohan always had the potential to surpass his father Goku. That's why Goku pushed Gohan in the Cell arc while they training in the room of Spirit and Time which lead to him reaching SS2 before Goku and Vegeta did. It's just a matter of Gohan taking responsibility as the strongest warrior on earth while Goku and Vegeta are away and not being able to rely on those two to save the day every single time like its the literal Goku and Vegeta show. Gohan's power is linked to his emotions like all saiyans with his rage being the ultimate trigger. He just got to tap into his sayian bloodline and let it all out. It was also be better if Gohan had some one on one time with Whis so he can better control his new power. Gohan can easily lead a new generation of Earth's warriors with Piccolo, Goten, Trunks, 17, 18, Pan, and Krilin. lol at Vegeta finally being able to defeat Goku in the end. RIP Red Ribbon Army for now. There were quite a lot of people in the movie theater when I was watching it, but not nearly as packed for Broly. 7/10 |

| I loved this so much more than I thought I would. Also when piccolo flew up and was all orange and buff, something new awakened in me and I don't know how to feel now 😂 |
| In order to give the spotlight to Gohan and Piccolo this movie was just stupid. I don´t expect anything great plot wise from Dragon Ball (that pretty much died once Cell ended) but holy shit this movie was bad. Every single character had CIS, the power ups were terrible, the comedy was hit or miss and the fight scenes were weirdly choreographed. At least they acknowledge the usage of the dragon balls for whatever the fuck now, that was funny. And as always there was nothing at risk considering the "bad guys" were just pushovers and Cell was Bio-Broly 2.0 |
| Story: 6/10 Thank God it wasn't Goku and Vegeta saving the day again lol. I feel that Dr. Hedo would've made a more interesting final boss, like if we saw his superhero ideals get warped over the course of the movie or something. Wait this isn't MHA, never mind then >_> Characters: 7/10
Animation: 8/10 Initially I was uncertain about this movie being done mostly in CG, but I found myself intrigued by how it worked along side the 2D scenes/FX here and there. I also liked how the flashbacks were done in 2D as well. Geeking that I saw Naotoshi Shida in the credits uwu Other ravings (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ "Why can I see his sound effects?" is by far my favorite line in this entire movie. Final verdit: 6.5/10 Though that rounds up to 7 anyway, soooo yeah. I'm grateful since this was the first anime movie I got to see in theaters ((꜆꜄ ˙꒳˙)꜆꜄꜆ |

| Quite a fun movie. Worth the theatre watch. It was refreshing to watch piccolo lead a movie (hope other side characters also get their movies.) The movie had quite a lot of fan service and parallels to original dragon ball. Best thing about it is non of the fanservice felt forced or wasted like mha movies or one piece stampede. It just syncs so well in narrative. Great usage of flashbacks too. Also i really liked how fleshed out new characters felt. Art and designs were the best part of movie better than previous movie or super (it was simply glorious to see Gohan in og dress, piccolo's base or red rebel army base or Korin Tower or piccolo buff form in orange version etc ). Cgi was also awesome, The fight scenes were quite good with lot of camera (they even did the jojo attack effects lol). At first i thought it couldn't create enough tension, but that was definitely not the case based on cell max fight. Infact i have never seen cgi being able to pull such unrealistic scenes this good in anime before so it was quite a unique experience. Tone of this movie is quite light-hearted compared to previous movies even though there were few death (more resembling to initial dragon ball rather than z). One of my biggest criticism about the movie would be that movie just felt too quick and too simple. Other minor criticism would be gamma never felt serious enough threat (even though they were fun characters). So their fight with Gohan and piccolo was a bit underwhelming, felt like it only had the intensity of a challenging sparring match (which made piccolo power up look a bit out of tone. Even though dragon ball wish was the real cause and intro was still great scene wise ). Also i wish this movie showed parallel or reference to great saiyaman of dbz, a really big missed opportunity considering the theme and characters involved. Overall better than JJK 0 or MHA World Heroes' Mission which i previously watched though not as good as Demon Slayer mugan train out of the recent shonen movies. |

  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |

| The intro showing Goku's battle against the red ribbon army throughout the ages was amazing. I loved the amount of attention Piccolo got throughout this movie and how he's now a powerful combatant again. His relationship with Pan was very adorable too! Gohan bringing it together and showing his power again made this definitely a movie to see. |
