| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- "I'm not a freak, I'm a Devil" Somewhat good and interesting storyline, brutal punches and an insane villain. This movie is DBZ at his best. Might lack some depth, but when watching this, it's the entertainment value that matters. Good movie! |

| bad movie 6/10 , so confusing and easy going... like wtf.. it was damn relaxed battle... it felt like everything was game.. like WTF MOVIE |
 |
| this movie was epic |
| i watched the movie and still didnt understand why he hates goku so much. becuz he was crying alot when they were born?? lol but other than that it was kinda epic, a real killer here. i was hoping gohan would have fought a bit more. and its weird seeing vegeta being all realistic all of a sudden with "he's too strong" ending was kinda stupid, what were they thinking "o shit we only have 2 minutes worth of animation left, how do we kill him?" "lets make it like pokemon and goku will do a critical hit, super effective attack!" |
     |
| One of the best DBZ films that I have seen so far, I maybe only prefer Super Android 13. This film was fun to watch (except for Roshi, he was pretty awful in this film) and Broly makes for a good villain, although the way he lost was weird. And Vegeta looked really bad in this film, the writers didn't like him, methinks. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| My favorite DBZ movie. |
  |
| My favorite DBZ movie too. At least this one has a good story and a motivation for the evilness of Broly and his father. Also, Broly is iconic to Dragon Ball universe. Watching it with japanese audio, I really love the musics of the final fight. 8.5/10. |
 |
| That ass pull at the end there -.- 6/10 |

| This was a really good movie I must say, really enjoyed watching this one! Lets see what the 9th movie has to offer! |
 |
| I lied when I said that movie 7 was the best movie so far, this is. I guess it goes to show what you can do with an extra half an hour of screen time (most DBZ movies so far have been 45-50mins, this was an hour and 15mins). Broly is such an iconic DBZ villain. Quoting what I posted last movie.

| This was kind of boring actually (well let's just say watching it at 2am to 3am was not the best idea). But still. I don't know... the series with Cell are a lot more interesting. 6/10. |

| Broly rocks . |
 |
| Pretty fun movie the action in this film was crazy and really awesome, and aside from Broly's lackluster motives the only real complaint I had with this was Vegeta seemed a little outta character. |
| Was okay until ass pull at the end... |
| This Movie is Great. And All the credit goes to The Legendary Super Saiyan. Broly truly is "The Personification of Destruction and Carnage". For me, Broly is the MOST BADASS CHARACTER EVER CREATED. |
 |
| I loved the movie, Broly is truly overpowering the Z fighters, but it was so unrealistic how Goku managed to one-hit kill him.. Those cherry trees were nice tho. 7/10 |

Especially compared to the rock ost of the american dub o_o Also we kept most of the iconic japanese shouts and screams during transformations ♥ Anyway, Broly was and is still my fav villain. I remember collecting DBZ Bandai Power Level CARDASS cards as a 7-10 years old kid and not understanding who this character was, and not understanding either why I never saw him in the anime lol. I was so glad when I got the VHS of this movie for my Christmas later ♥ |

I never liked those english themes, to me it's not the same Dragon Ball Z without its original japanese music. Broly is an iconic character even if he does not exist in the manga. |

Hell yeah, Broly is the only one to have 3 movies for himself! Even though we barely saw him in BioBroly movie (and it was a clone) before he transformed in that giant pile of mud lol. It seems most of Europe got the original japanese soundtrack ... Well, it was at a time where France companies spent quite some cash to actively import or co-produce anime so yeah. Now though most anime pass through USA first and get ridiculous censorship / editing (Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! come to mind) =/ I remember having to import the japanese soundtrack from the JP ISO of Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (Sparking Meteor) and then burn the EU ISO to play on my PS2... But it was WELL WORTH IT ahah. Played Broly for dozens of hours and pwnd my friends :p (Sadly he was not as overpowered as in Tenkaichi 2 though ) |
|
| That was quite the movie, better than the others by far imo. Loved how Vegeta was just scared shitless when he realized who Broly was when he transformed. So much for being a Saiyan, eh? Saiyans seem to pride on a fierce battle yet Vegeta just was terrified, quaking in his boots at the sign of the battle this time around. The legend must've of really stuck in hm a as a kid growing up or something... lol. Also thought it was pretty funny how they all fell off the cliff at that one part and Krillin just gets up and sits up ontop like "Sup Bros?".  |

| SUCH a bad movie. Broly is easily the most over-rated of all the Dragon Ball characters. He's basically the Hulk with less character development. No depth at all. Just an hour of him yelling and breaking stuff. Ugh |
 |
on 
| Shitty movie... Paragus's background story is completely bullshit and doesn't even make sense and that final asspull... -.- OMG!! I watched it because Broly is so iconic and I got very disappointed (But I liked the beginning - good "Slice of Life") Overall: 4/10 |

| Vegeta - first he wanted to defeat Legendary Saiyanin then he turned a coward without reason (I think they dragged him ;P), Piccolo - arrive from nowhere to save the day, Broly - hating Goku without a reason. |

Starchaser said: The rock music it's so trash I hate the english dubThis was a fun re-watch. There is some sloppy writing here and there though. &++ the way the writers portrayed Vegeta in this is so dumb. They made him bitch made! But on the bright side, the movie did give this iconic moment. And mayne, I love the climax. "Vegeta... what are you waiting for? You're our last hope. Give me your POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!" That Haji's Kitchen song "Lost" is so damn good and complements the whole fighting scene. Broly was punching Goku through an effin' mountain! |

Namu12 said: Hating Goku ? Well you didn't see the movie, Piccolo saving Gohan is a classic and Vegeta has always seen the legend of the super saiyan as something incredible and see him like that invincble, i'd be scared too, it's like when he was scared of Frieza.Vegeta - first he wanted to defeat Legendary Saiyanin then he turned a coward without reason (I think they dragged him ;P), Piccolo - arrive from nowhere to save the day, Broly - hating Goku without a reason. |
| Never loved this movie as much as others did, but it was pretty cool and more effort was put into the story, which is not saying much XD Also extra point for Broly being such a beast. |

| Imagine this not being dragon ball and you not being a fan of the franchise & characters. What would be left of this movie? Pretty much nothing imo. All we get here is a bunch of fights between our beloved heroes and a new, one dimensional villian that is pretty much a big punching bag with pretty much no motivation apart from being ANGERY and to become the MOST POWERFUL EVER and to DESTROY THE UNIVERSE. The 'plot' is pretty much an excuse for our Z-warriors to battle him half the movie. Apart from Goku and Vegeta the characters serve pretty much no purpose. Then theres the unnecesarry addition of Roshi and Puar acting super dumb (and out of character) for the sake of comic relief. The ending is extremely excpected and something we've seen multiple times in the main series. I think a 13 year old me would love this for the cool fighting animations and being a fankid. This movie for me is nothing less of a service to the fans of the franchise. If this wasn't dragonball Z it would get nowhere the praise it gets... |
| I've just re-watched it... It's clearly not as good as I remembered. I like Broly as the insane mountain of muscles that he is, but he has plot armour for the majority of the movie, then gets defeated by (quite literally) the power of friendship, after Vegeta stops being tsundere? Yeah I'm actually almost glad that this version of Broly isn't canon after all. |

Just an hour of him yelling and breaking stuff. Ugh That's what you don't get. In fact, very few people who found him so cool or advocated for his crappy ass rewrite in the Super movie really understood the true essence of the OG character. I'd say, he's one of the most grossly misrepresented of the franchise with Yamcha or Gohan. They all became a meme, their perception being reshaped into a twisted out image of what they conceptually are. Paragus is the one who gives him depth. They are characters heavily depending on one another. Paragus is a flat character without his son and the contrary is also right. Broly just cannot control his overflowing ki, it's Paragus who took the initiative to properly channel it through a restraining device. He has all the leisure to think of solutions and plot, because he doesn't have a cursed potential within to try to contain. Their two paths ultimately leads to him releasing Broly, and years of pent up frustration gave into the monstrous form. Broly isn't just a dumb brute. In fact, his final talk with Paragus shows that he is smart in a sadistic kind of way. He just chose to go with the flow and enjoy the ride, because he cannot do anything to quiet the overflowing ki issue. Indeed, that's also something DBZ fans has grossly misrepresented over time: Broly doesn't get increasingly stronger over time, his ki is instead building up endlessly. It is forcing him to act and release it in whatever opportunity he can, it being pure destruction more often than not. How is Broly supposed to have any agency? He is an outcast without roots or anyone able to bond with, he's a beast with a cursed destiny. His father tried to do something about it, but he fell prey to greed and revengeful spirit. Broly is corruption of the body, while his father is corruption of the soul. They are tragic characters, and one is supposed to provide a contrast to the other. The biggest mistake was to make more movies with only Broly. The scheme thwarted , the device broken and Paragus dead, there is just zero direction you can take the big villain except: "must kill Kakarot huuuurrrr!". Note that in the shit sequel movies, Broly is in full control of his potential. He isn't prisoner of his endless stamina issue as he doesn't do thing like unleashing randomly energy balls to even out his ki... His character thus degenerated into the cliché you have learned to embrace as word of truth. If anything, I find the inconsistent writing of Vegeta in this movie more shocking. He is more stupid and self contradictory than usual. |
 |
| Here is my final opinion. The best of DBZ movie along with the Tapion one. It takes an unusual trajectory. Indeed, main villains are usually proactive conquerors or destroyers. Here you have a vaguely ominous plotter. And his plot isn't directed at Goku, to change! Sure, the culprit of mass destruction is obvious, but that's besides the point. An elaborate whodunit scenario wouldn't work out with the DBZ formula. Instead, you look at how the investigating characters unravel the scheme, which builds up the climax to the final fight. Like I said, Paragus and Broly are tragic characters. So much in fact, most of the audience doesn't fully understand what they are about! Their musical segments on Kikuchi's soundtrack are paroxysmal and full of hopeless dread. It is such a fun movie thanks to the kinetic fight storytelling, I think that's why the fans lost of sight of the two villains characterization. The four major flaws in this movie are how Vegeta is portrayed, the coming of Picollo crowbar'd in for the multiple saves, the tonal whiplash with the comic reliefs who derail the amazing doomsday atmosphere and the final asspull win. 7 out of 10, as a DBZ movie. |

| This movie still holds up. A real masterpiece improving everything other Dragon Ball movies build up but didn't manage to execute to the best of their abilities. But I feel the strength of this movie is also its downfall since it spawned some underwhelming sequels. |
| Well... I really didn't like that. It looked beautiful and started with an interesting story, but everything devolved into a slasher film Pantera anime AMV. Probably would be better with the original soundtrack, but I still don't like the plot or Broly's motivation. Also, what the heck were they doing with that writing for Vegeta? Finally, several things just flow really strangely and feel like plotholes: Broly and his dad surviving their execution to be thrown into a pit to later escape (weren't they supposed to be executed?), Broly just appearing before his father as he was about to escape despite the fact that Broly is in the middle of a fight, Vegeta's sudden change of heart, and the weird scene with the ship bouncing at the end (huh?). The final attack with the other heroes giving their energy to Goku is even super weird (though not necessarily that weird for a DBZ movie). |
