    I like the movie, don't really like the 3d style
    Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero" brings an intriguing revival of the Red Ribbon Army and the iconic character Cell, adding a nostalgic touch to the franchise. However, the film falters in its portrayal of Cell Max, lacking depth and leaving much to be desired. The new transformations of Piccolo and Gohan, while potentially exciting, are presented in a manner that undermines their significance, failing to capture the awe they rightfully deserve. The most notable drawback, though, is the film's pivot to 3D animation. This stylistic choice detracts from the characters' vibrancy, rendering them game-like and devoid of the expressive richness that 2D animation traditionally offers. While the energy wave effects are visually appealing, they are not enough to compensate for the overall lackluster 3D execution that strips the characters of their life and expressiveness. I gave it a 8 because i am a huge fan but i am really disappointed in the 3D :)

    Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero:- A power packed fun anime film
    Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is a pakka anime action packed entertainment from Akira Toriyama. The animation, well-chorographed larger-than-life action scenes are worthy watch for every DBZ fans and newcomers. The story is actually simple which details about an evil organization trying to exact revenge against Super Saiyan by making the robot creator believe that the Saiyans are bad people. Gohan excels in action sequences and emotions of the father. Piccolo as a teacher and former god is superb. The Gotanks in the battlefield and some of comedy scenes are hilarious. Action sequences are colorful and well made. Toei Animation should be applauded for bringing DBZ: Super Hero. The writing and editing are well-designed for this power-packed entertainer, and also the fan service is well made. Watch DBZ Super Hero from any anime website and also grab a popcorn to enjoy this summer anime entertainer with your friends and family.

    Visually bland, story uses nostalgia to lure in fans
    After the success of DBS BROLY, my expectations for this movie was much higher. Unfortunately the result was far inferior.

    This movie is clearly an experiment to bring Dragon Ball to the 3D realm and while it is not as bad as many other projects from TOEI Animation, it is still bland and uncreative. The fight scenes do not even come close to the impact felt from the battles in DBS Broly from masterful animators like Yuya Takahashi, Naotoshi Shida and Chikashi Kubota. This aspect is fully felt in the final act when even the biggest hits from one of the main villains feel weightless without any impact frames.

    The best part of DBS Super hero comes from their slice of life moments, Pan's interactions with Piccolo and them just navigating everyday life. Those moments had me more interested than the actual fights which were void of tension and build up. Also, Gohan fans will get a little bit of satisfaction from this temporary boost he gets, though I doubt it will amount to anything relevant in the series.

    Not to mention every Dragon Ball fan knew where things were headed since the story is basically a retelling of the Cell Arc. It sounds mean to say but in a way the inferior box office earning of this movie compared to DBS BROLY might act as a lesson for TOEI Animation to not go into this direction ever again.

    It is a slightly above average film that is only garnering the attention it is due to the value of the franchise. Dragon Ball deserves far better than this.

    Great !
    I really enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. Overall, what was the least satisfying in those movie were the fights. The story was really great and the focus on my favorite character was the cherry on top of the cake. What about 3D ? Some moments are really beautiful even though I really prefer « drawn » animations.

    What else to say ? The heroes are fighting for their life in a fight with real stakes. For once, Goku, Végéta, Whis or Beerus are not here to help and the heroes do their best to defend themselves and earth against stronger opponents. Using their mind and various strategies to find solutions.

    Most probably one of the best DB movie ever.

    Action-packed, generic story
    I'm fully aware this movie gets a lot of hate, though I can't understand why, it's within their right to have such feeling. Personally, I enjoy watching it. 2D animation will always be a better alternative but this 3D graphics isn't bad either, I have a good time watching the full action scenes which almost doesn't give us any room to breath, the choreography is excellent too. Story-wise nothing special about it, the ending's kinda cliche too, well I mean, Dragon Ball cliche, it wouldn't be a Dragon Ball movie without such ending. The villains somehow are a little bit underwhelming, without so much of a character development, but it's nice to see both Piccolo and Gohan get the spotlight sometimes, so not so bad at all, but not great either.

    8/10.
