DragonBallSuper:Super Hero- Movie Review
Back To
Thoughts & Notes: This movie was a love letter to Piccolo and Gohan's relationship as sensei and student. This would've been a really good movie to watch for Father's Day. Piccolo is basically the godfather of Pan. Like her father Gohan, Piccolo is the first person to teach her how to fight. I really dislike the 3D animation, I wished they use the flashback animation or stick to the normal style. Watching the Gammas doing superhero poses made me wish Gohan showed up as The Great Saiyaman. How does Korin still only be having 2 Senzu Beans to spare after all these years??? Piccolo's memory is just as flaky as Akira Toriyama's. I don't know how I feel about "Orange Piccolo" or as my friend Spanky called him "Buffolo". "Gohan Beast" (or "The Wild Beast" according to Toriyama) looks like Super Saiyan 5 from Dragonball AF. I didn't care for the dubbed like always. Unnecessary talking and lost in translation dialogue. Lastly, is this movie canon? I would have to say no. Given everything that happened in the manga, it doesn't add up unless they dealt with Black Frieza within the last 2 years. Also, if the Goku & Broly scenes weren't in this film this could legit be canon. I will say IF this movie is canon it takes place possibly weeks before the 28th Tenkaichi Budōkai.
Score: I give DragonBall Super: Super Hero a 9.2 aka Near Mint Minus (8.5 aka Very Fine Plus for the dubbed version. I really dislike the extra talking and the voice timing was off from the animation). Thank you for reading my semi-spoiler-free review. Hit me up on Twitter so we can talk about it. Stay geeky gang.
Salutation hot geeks, recently I watched the dubbed and subtitled version of the twenty-first Dragon Ball feature film, the second to carry the Dragon Ball Super title, the fourth film with Toriyama's direct involvement, and the first to be produced mostly using CGI animation (which I did not care for). The Red Ribbon Army was once destroyed by Son Goku. Commander Red'sson carried on its spirit by creating the ultimate androids Gamma 1 & Gamma 2. With Goku & Vegeta training on Beerus' planet, it's up to Piccolo to babysit Pan and take down The Red Ribbon Army with the help of Gohan & Earth's Mightiest Warriors.
