Excellent but underrated film

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The "Dragonball Z" movies are certainly good, but they ran into this huge problem. They were just too short! These things were as short as 40 minutes sometimes! They are probably the shortest films I have seen in modern times that have been considered feature length, but not this one! Okay, 72 minutes still isn't that long, but this really feels like a movie based on "Dragonball Z". We get introduced to Broly and it's great that we actually get movies that have a recurring villain. We even get a great backstory when we realize he placed literally next to Goku on the day he was born! I love the allusions to Bardock too. The other main villain is named Paragus. It didn't take too long to figure out that his name was a pun on "Asparagus". I admit that it does seem a stretch to have the villain named "Broly" as a reference to broccoli. They even themselves point this out, so it was fun. The pacing was great and the artwork is as good as anything featured on the show or other movies. I love how they try to make this story personal. Master Roshi shows off his muscles, but still doesn't get to fight. This is why the more recent movies are even better. ***1/2

The story for this film that a man who's name is Paragus has tricked Vegeta and Goku to going to a planet called 'New Vegeta' only it is a trap so Paragus's son Broly can kill Goku. This is the most violent of the Dragon Ball Z movies, hence the Japanese title. The FUNimation English dub features rock bands such as Slow Roosevelt and Haji's Kitchen. This film has a lot of action, and a good story. Both sets of voice actors do a good job with their characters. This is a worthy DBZ movie for your collection.I give Broly The Legendary Super Saiyan a 8/10

The narrative of this film is as follows:Good guys mess around a bit, then go to another planet to fight something.It becomes apparent that they are going to fight Broly within 5 seconds of him being on-screen.Broly looks stern.Good guys mess around a bit. Broly looks a bit angry.Good guys mess around a bit, give Broly a weak excuse to use his unsurprisingly mighty powers.Broly destroys EVERYONE.Goku wins.The film is utterly pathetic and only marginally redeemed by some stylish action, which is never varied or interesting enough to make up for an incredibly tedious build-up that lasts a good two thirds of the film. It's a shame, because had attention been devoted at any stage to actually having characters or making the (actually quite promising) story more engaging it could have been pretty entertaining - the fighting is well executed after all, even if it's entirely one sided. Sadly the whole thing is so painfully slow and laughably obvious that it's really not worth it.

This movie is one of the best of all time. Great animation, humor, and fighting scenes make this my favorite movie of all time!
