" THIS IS A NON SPOILER REVIEW"
Review:-
This is an absolute gem of a movie. Modern Dragon ball can't get any better than this. It was really phenomenol.
Here a few key features of the movie
(i) PLOT :
The movie is divided into 2 phases. The "Past&The Present". The start of the movie is all about the history of the saiyans. The movie does a half an hour long depiction of the history of the saiyans. The past is mostly based off "DB MINUS" with a few tid bits from the "Bardock: The Father of Goku".
The movie is more about broly. Broly was a saiyan with really high potential. King vegeta being jealous of broly's latent potential decided to send away baby broly to a far away planet "Vampa". Paragus(Father of broly) being betrayed by The King, vowed to find his son and one day get revenge on the king.
The movie explains about the ties of fate between Goku, Vegeta and Broly.
The present section of the movie takes place after "THE TOURNAMENT OF POWER". Its about the encounter of the 3 fated saiyans with each other.
Pretty simple plot not too complex or anythig but is really well written and executed pretty well!
(ii) ANIMATION: The animation of this movie is out of this world. Toriyama and Toei Animation decided to change the animation supervisor and character designer "Tadayoshi Yamamuro" to "Nahiro Shinatni". His animation is more fluid and gives a refreshing feel to the movie. There is a use of CG as well. In short this is the best anime movie of 2018 when it comes to animation. Having animators from My hero academia, one punch man etc working on it. Also got Toei's best staff with the likes of Naotoshi Shida, Yuya Takahashi, Naoki tate and other great animators. The movie is a one hour and fourty minutes of pure " SAGAKA".
(iii) MUSIC AND DIRECTION Movie director is "Nagamine" who produced one of the best episodes of super like episode 95 or the introduction of Ultra Instinct etc. The movie is directed really well by him. His story boards were really amazing. The music is composed by " Sumitomo" who had his fair share of criticism from the fans because of his music in the beginning of super. His music in battle of gods was pretty good but in this movie its so emotional and captivating. (iv) FIGHT SCENES:
Dragon Ball is known for producing some of the best fights in all of anime. And this movie is no exception. With the likes of takahashi and Naotoshi shida handling the main action parts of the film, the fight scenes are absolutely mind blowing. Especially the final section of the movie where Shida brings his A game to the movie, shida mixed with Shinatni sheets produced some of the best fights in all of anime.
(v) PROBLEMS: Nothing is perfect and Dragon ball Super broly also had some tiny problems as well. 1. RUSHING: Sometimes the movie felt a bit rushed. Mainly because the original script of the movie was actually 3hours long so they had to narrow it down to 1 hour 40 minutes.That is why some sections are abit rushed but its not that big of a deal. 2.Lack of Tension : THE movie lacked tension as compared to the days of dbz. But still its just a tiny problem not that big of deal to ruin a movie. 3.Retcons : There were a few retcons here and there. but i can ignore such retcons as they don't seem that big to me.
(VI) CONCLUSION: You should absolutely watch this movie. Not only its animated really well ,it show case some of the best fights of 2018, and it has great music too. Please go and watching this movie in the theatres. Its theatrical experience will blow your mind. Overall its a pretty solid movie. 9/10 for me !!!

Dragon ball super broly is for me with battle of gods the best dragon ball film in history,there are some pretty awful ones but then there is some awesome ones like two mentioned above,lets just say that i am big fan of dragon ball ever since i watched it as kid and i had a lot of connection to franchise characters,and i must say that film gives them a lot of justice,animation is perhaps the best ever in this series and films and story is also as much intersting as fight and battle scenes that were awesome to watch,broly was improved compared to his previous version and he had a lot more personality and character in him, dragon ball super broly is a film that reminded me why i am fan of this franchise
I'm not the biggest Dragon Ball Z fan, but when my cousin wanted to watch "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" with me, I decided to give it a shot. And I'm glad I did. "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" is packed with high-octane and colorful action, warmhearted humor, and even some emotion and heart. Don't believe me? Read on!
"Dragon Ball Super: Broly" hooked me almost right off the bat. The animation was crisp, colorful, and clear, and the story was surprisingly gripping. In the first ten to fifteen minutes you're introduced to plot points including themes such as paranoia, planetary domination, and betrayal. And as if that wasn't enough to grip me, at a certain point I even found my eyes starting to swell up; my cousin looked over to me, asking, "Are you going to cry?" And I wiped my eyes and said, "I might."
So, "Broly" has high-quality animation, and a surprisingly well thought out plot - what else does it have going for it? For one, the soundtrack is, simply, epic. The music is big and brash and loud, and enhances the intensity of the action, as well as adds to the emotional beats.
Also, the movie has a really good sense of humor throughout that never seems overly ridiculous or cartoony; there are multiple subtle lines of dialogue or sly actions that the characters make that add a real personality to this movie, never contrasting negatively against the semi-dark plot. Sure, there is comedy, but it doesn't feel shoehorned for mass audience appeal - everything feels surprisingly natural.
"Dragon Ball Super: Broly" is a genuinely good film. There's enough cinematic meat for you to chew on with its soundtrack and beautiful, fluid animation, and especially with its story - the movie takes its time setting up the main plot, introducing characters and storylines that you'll want to see through to completion, even if you're not a huge fan of DBZ.

Did you know
- TriviaThe hype for this film was so high that the tickets were sold out in Japan, 5 months before the official release.
- GoofsWhen Cheelai summons Shenron during the climax, the dragon grants a single wish before departing; however by this point in the series Shenron had been upgraded to be able to grant three wishes at a time. This is portrayed correctly in previous films such as Resurrection F, and the next movie Super Hero.
- Crazy creditsDoes not include a post-credits scene. However, the closing credits play over footage of characters featured in the film.
