I am a Dragon Ball fan, and I am a post-80s generation who grew up watching comics that were first introduced to mainland China. My love for Dragon Ball is very deep. The theatrical version of Dragon Ball, because it is separated from the original comics, is often modeled and routine, and the plot is thin and understandable. But this work really has few bright spots, it seems empty and boring.
First, there is no plot. Broly is the original character of the Dragon Ball theatrical version, which has appeared twice in the previous theatrical version. This work re-writes the ins and outs of Broly. As the villain of this work, the reason for his battle is only because his emotions have been out of control after being suppressed by his father's training on a remote planet for a long time, and he has no reasonable motivation. Just following Frieza to the earth, I happened to meet Sun Wukong and Vegeta, and then went berserk, started fighting, and constantly upgraded the combat power. Sun Wukong also went from Super Saiyan to Super Saiyan God to Super Saiyan Blue to and Vegeta merges into Gogeta and keeps leveling up. The movie opens with a retelling of the story of Monkey King's father and Frieza's destruction of Planet Vegeta. Such a plot, for Dragon Ball fans, is terribly pale, almost equivalent to no plot.
Second, there are no characters. As mentioned earlier, Broly, as the opponent of this game, has a relatively straightforward character and animal fighting instinct. There is basically no description for the characters, just one word: strong! Inexplicably strong. As for the original characters of Dragon Ball, there is almost no appearance. The original gag-style dialogue to express the characters is also absent. The characters in it, Bulma, Angel Weiss, etc., are just bystanders, and basically do not play a role in promoting the plot, and they are optional.
Third, the screen crashes. As a film version, a good production picture should be a basic requirement. But after watching the whole movie, I found that the production level of the action scenes only reached the level of the TV version. Many action scenes have no details, and the pictures are not rich, so people can't see how the tricks are made. In the distant view, the characters will also collapse, and the quality is actually a bit poor. Not as well-made as the first two theatrical releases.
In the presence of three obvious shortcomings, this film makes me a little sleepy as a Dragon Ball fan, which is very disappointing.
