This movie has a good idea, but the problem lies in how they implemented that idea in the film.

Cooler has a very cool design and a well-crafted personality, accompanied by the Armored Squadron, with one of the members, Salza, resembling Whis. The squadron has simple designs, and apart from Salza, who can have good fights with the warriors.

Cooler's personality fits perfectly with him, as he is ruthless, cold, and doesn't even care about his brother's death, prioritizing the restoration of the family's honor. He is already in his fourth form and doesn't use additional forms to limit his power compared to his brother Freeza.

The scene where Salza punches Goku, and Goku feels nothing, punching back, serves as a good introduction to the final and anticipated fight.

After a while fighting Cooler, Cooler finally transforms into his final form, which is well-built and cool, resembling a war machine. And here's the problem: Goku, despite having Super Saiyan (SSJ), uses the Kaioken against Cooler, who sweeps the floor with Goku.

Goku only uses SSJ at the end, and after a few punches and a Kamehameha towards Cooler's power ball, the villain is easily defeated and sent into space.

This movie would be a thousand times better if SSJ were used throughout the fight, creating a wild battle between Cooler and Goku, similar to what happened on Namek.

It's nonsensical for the protagonist and the creators of the film to use the Kaioken against a powerful enemy when SSJ was available, especially considering that the Kaioken didn't even last against Freeza in his fourth form, not to mention its negative effects.

The animation is the same, and the ending music is good.

The destruction of the scenery is very well done.

It's a shame that all of this was poorly implemented.
