The Take
Dragon Ball Super: Broly delivers exactly what long-suffering fans wanted: fluid, hand-drawn fight choreography that makes the rest of modern Dragon Ball look cheap. Everything else is committee-approved canon maintenance that assumes you already watched the TV series and old movies.
Newcomers will spend half the runtime confused by power levels and Saiyan backstories while the film pads runtime with CGI filler shots that undercut its own strengths.
The Verdict
The animation team earned their paychecks on the fight scenes. The rest of the production exists to keep the Dragon Ball machine running and sell more toys.
Skip it unless you are already deep in the fandom.
