Is this a joke? Okay. Wow. My friend loaned my the first and second Broly movies. Obviously I watched the first one first, and then the second one. I thought the first one was piss poor. It takes everyone in the Dragonball galaxy to take him out, and Vegeta is a coward. And if he's so strong, why does nobody go to SSJ2? Or SSJ3? So I thought the second would be better. Boy was I wrong. In the first movie, Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Future Trunks, Gohan and Krillin couldn't defeat Broly. In the second one, Broly has trouble even putting a scratch on Chibi Trunks and Goten. This movie is what the DBZ staff and FUNimation do when they're bored. Do I dare watch Bio Broly?
Really disappointing... Even though this film ends with a decent fight scene, most of it is drawn out and pointless. Sure Trunks and Goten can be amusing, but this is too much. Not only that, Broly comes across as a real dufuss in this one - the endless repetition of his grunted one line gets really annoying and in itself merits the whooping that he gets in the end. Broly was a ruthless villian bent on destruction in his first appearance, but he just kind 'floats around' in this one not really doing much of anything. I'd like to say that there is hope, but Bio Broly is even worse...
Something for Hardcore DBZ fans In all respects this film was not as good as the first Brolly film, nor many of the other films, like Lord Slug, History of Trunks, and Coolers Revenge. In fact it merely acts as a continuation of the DBZ world for the hard core fans, broader anime fans won't enjoy it as much. This is brought on by the meandering nature that comes across from the positioning of the central characters of Kid Trunks; Goten; and Videl, who are looking for the Dragon Balls. Theres alot of familiar humour that ardent DBZ fans will enjoy. And the climax is the usual, though the battle between Teen Gohan and Brolly is ok.
A film for deep seatd Dragon Ball Z. I'd much more recommend Cooler's Revenge, probably because of the great rock and metal sound track with Disturbed and Drowning Pool.
Broly is back Broly: Second Coming
INTRODUCTION: The Dragon Ball Z series is one of the finest animes out there, as any fan of Japanese animation will tell you. The series has a "love it or hate it" reputation, but those fans who get into the series are totally immersed by it for a number of reasons. Young people love the series for the fast-paced action and adventure, while older fans enjoy it for the sheer number of characters, and the way they are developed and evolve over the course of time. It's no wonder the series is considered Akira Toriyama's magnum opus, and by far the best of the three Dragon Ball series. When Toei animation made Dragon Ball into an anime, they didn't copy Toriyama's mangas verbatim. They added in many sagas and plot elements not in the manga, often as a result so that the manga and anime were released at the same pace. Toei even created movies based on the series! There were thirteen movies, two television specials, and one OVA/OAV. While not usually canon to the storyline, they are an undeniable part of the Dragon Ball Z franchise that can't be ignored.
OVERVIEW: This is the tenth the thirteen Dragon Ball Z movies.
THE STORY: It's been seven years since the defeat of Cell. Goku has long since died, and with his rival dead, Vegeta's interest in combat is diminished. Goten and Trunks have teamed up with Videl, and are out searching for the Dragon Balls. After rescuing a girl planned to be a sacrifice for a village, everything goes horribly wrong.
Broly survived his assault from Goku on New Vegeta. Following the fight, his pod crash landed on Earth in a pond. The pond froze over. But when Broly heard Goten crying, since his crying is exactly the same as baby Goku's crying that drove him mad, he is reawakened.
Now Goten and Trunks must face off against the toughest foe they've ever faced. Even when Gohan enters the battle, things still seem unlikely.
REVIEW OF STORY: Broly didn't need a sequel, especially not one that totally defiled what his first movie originally stood for. While the first Broly movie was dramatic and gave tremendous insight to the history of the Saiyan race, this one seems like a joke. Anything that focuses on Goten and Trunks is going to be more on the comical side, always. Fortunately, the film still provides a nice mix of humor and action alike (some of the things Trunks does to Broly are going to have you laughing yourself silly.) An otherwise mediocre film is redeemed by a great ending I'm not going to spoil for you. Only get this one if you're a huge fan of the series, or you want to find out how the Broly storyline continues.
OFFICIAL? Since the first Broly movie wasn't canon, his sequels are automatically fake. However, this movie and its sequel could have taken place right around the time before the World Tournament prior to the arrival of Babidi took place. But for that to work, the first Broly movie would have to have taken place, which doesn't fit into the storyline at all. So ultimately I have to say this film isn't canon.
REVIEW OF DVD: All of FUNimation's Dragon Ball Z DVDs are pretty much the same as far as content goes. There is no bonus content, unless you consider the obligatory trailers on the DVD to be bonus material. And honestly, I could have lived without them. Some more recent DVDs have character profiles, though these are lacking and could have been written better. Why couldn't get get interviews with cast and crew, or trivia/facts, something like that? FUNimation has a lot of room to improve on the DVDs.
THE DUBBED VERSION: Lots of people tend to bash FUNimation's dub of the Dragon Ball Z series? Why? It's inaccurate and sometimes just plain stupid. They can do good dubbed versions for plenty of other animes, such as Full Metal Alchemist, but every time they've tried dubbing Toriyama's classic, they butcher it to hell. The nu metal they put in as background music only further defiles the original series. Stick with the uncut subbed track.
OVERALL: Overall this is a decent package, but not one of the better movies. Get it only if you want to see the continuation of the Broly story, or if you're a completist who wants all the Z movies.
EDITION NOTES: All three Broly movies were reissued in a cheap, affordable three pack! Get the three pack, because you'll be getting three movies for the price of one
Good, but not perfect If you thought the most sinister villian in the universe was destroyed.... Think again. Broly, who apparently met his end in the diabolical explosion of the Planet "New Vegeta" escaped in a Saiyan Space pod. The sinister menace landed on the planet known as earth, home to his worst enemy: Son Goku. There, Broly was encased in a sheet of ice and slept. But when he awakens from this slumber he will go on an unstoppable rampage.... Young Trunks, Son Goten and Videl are on a quest to obtain 7 mystical artifacts known as the Dragon Balls. When the sleeping Broly hears Son Goten's cries, it brings back a memory of when he and Son Goku were just babies: and Broly awakens. Broly easily defeats Son Goten and Trunks with such power that even Majin Buu might tremble in a dark world o nothing but fear. Brash young warrior Son Gohan appears just in time to combat the menace.... but Broly is filled with nothing but pure rage, and even trying his best, the bold warrior falls to the Saiyan menace. Son Gohan pulls out the last trick in his bag: the Kamehameha wave. Son Goten also appears to help, but Broly's most powerful attack over powers them. Goten makes a wish inside his mind: and having all 7 Dragon Balls: Son Goku appears. He, Son Gohan and Son Goten use the power of togetherness to blast Broly into oblivion. And so peace reigns once again.... at least for now....
