What I liked is Bulma's with to from the Dragon Balls which is a double edged sword. The Dragon is used as an accessory devaluing and making these sacred items looks like jokes. What you get out of it is getting more horny for Bulma because she looks sexy as fuck in this movie.
Then Piccolo does something questionable and asks his potential being unlocked. The reason that is questionable is for these reasons:
- Namekian aren't allowed to use the Dragon Balls for selfish reasons. Knowing Piccolo is fused with Kami, that should be more of a reason he shouldn't do it
- Why didn't anyone else do that until this movie? Why not Gohan, Krillin, Yamcha, Goku, Vegeta, Goten, Trunks, Videl, Mr Satan or anyone relevant ask for this? It makes everyone look stupid for the sake of the plot.
It was a cheap power up and similar nonsense happen that took me out of the movie.
Also most the things we see Goku, Vegeta and Broly do is a waste of time. Nothing there mattered, they only existed because we need to spend the runtime somehow. And I think Beevus is also horny for Cheelai. Didn't sit with me that he looked like that at my waifu. Jk.
I find it questionable that the Red Ribbon Army can still create such powerful robots that can keep up with the Z Fighters. It was already stupid in the past, now its even worse with the power jumps. Where did they get the resources? And why didn't we see these guys in the past with Dr. Gero?
I really looked forward seeing this movie after all the hype, but now I was left completely disappointed.
Gohan and Piccolo's final power ups look almost comical. Gohan looks like an adult version of "Teen" Gohan from the Cell Saga with that stupid hairstyle. Ironically the enemy is an emotionaless Cell lookalike. And Piccolo looks like an orange Hulk.
Avoid this movie if you aren't desperate to see more Dragon Ball.
