Dragon
Ball Super: Broly is a treat for hardcore fans, but also provides enough
information for most newcomers to keep up. This movie is about Goku and Vegeta
who encounter Broly, a Saiyan warrior unlike any fighter they have ever faced.
I want to start with I am a complete newbie and have never seen any episodes of
the show or the other films. This is based off the English dub. Sean Schemmel
gave an excellent voice performance. He is especially good at delivering the
funnier moments. Christopher Sabat gives a great performance. He voices
numerous people, but he makes them sound like their own unique character. Vic
Mignogna gives a fantastic voice performance. He makes you feel for his
character with minimal dialogue. Chris Ayres is having a blast hamming it up
voicing the villain. Dameon Clarke and Monica Rial give good voice performances
in supporting roles. Tatsuya Nagamine did an excellent job directing. The fight
sequences, while almost too fast, are incredibly fluid and fun to watch. Akira
Toriyama’s script does a great job telling a compelling story while also giving
enough background so newbies will not be completely lost. The character
development is surprisingly strong especially for Broly, who despite being the
villain, we sympathize with. There is also a good amount of hilarious comedic
relief in the right moments. The animation is some of the best 2D animation I
have ever seen. The action scenes are truly visually incredible. However, they
do occasionally mix CGI in and it becomes very distracting and noticeable when
they do so. At 100 minutes the movie moves at a good pace though the non-stop
action in the second half can be a bit tiring. Overall, Dragon Ball Super:
Broly is a fantastic movie for hardcore fans, but even most newcomers should
still have a fun time. Just be prepared to not always know what is going on
immediately.
7.5/10
