Finally, Broly is the main event threat that he is designed to be. It in itself tells an interesting story that can't be expressed in words. As they escalate, so does he until he becomes an unstoppable monster devoid of reason and mercy. The fight itself is masterfully paced, Broly has been fighting for training wheels all his life and finally meeting someone that can match him he just keeps improving until he can match the overpowered heroes. The hulking behemoth gets center stage in this movie, after exploring his character he is thrown headlong into a brutal slobber knocker that carries the movie further than any cockamamie scheme and cannon fodder ever could. There is little catharsis and the villains are tossed in the trash never to be heard from again. After laying out Toriyama's shopping list disguised as antagonists, the big bad readies to fight them to close out the last ten minutes and gets eliminated by some sort of plot device like Gohan's dormant power, a Hail Mary energy blast, or whistling. They treat the movie like its own story arch, with a big bad and his minions scheming for the dragonballs, tree of life, a can of Coke or whatever, and its up to the heroes to come together and curb stomp them all in short, unimpressive fights.
To really see what the movie does well, its important to understand what its predecessors do wrong. Now that out of the way, this is definitely one of the best Dragonball movies, if not the best.
It will simply make no sense and you will get absolutely nothing out of it. If you have not watched the series, do not watch this movie. I cannot stress this enough, this is not a good introduction into the Dragonball series. Reviewed by nmn34 9 / 10 Not For Beginners
