Why does this movie exist? This film suffers from a problem very similar to the second film in which Cooler appears: it's a completely unnecessary sequel to a film that barely managed to sustain itself. The first Broly movie didn't have a strong enough story to justify sequels. What held the audience's interest were mainly the fights, something that, unfortunately, this film fails to deliver anywhere near the same level. The idea of having Videl fight Broly right at the beginning was simply pathetic. To me, this already made it clear that the film had no commitment to character development. Broly, who in the previous film wasan almost invincible entity, capable of instilling fear in all the Z Fighters and crushing anyone who crossed his path, is reduced to a joke here. There's none of that weight, that sense of threat that made him such a memorable villain. Even being a very charismatic antagonist, there's no convincing narrative device to explain why he would be "playing" at fighting Goten and Trunks. These interactions not only completely break the character's logic, but also undermine any credibility of the threat the film tries to establish. The situation is so poorly constructed that it's difficult to take seriously. And then comes one of the most absurd and shameful scenes: Trunks urinating on Broly's face. Seriously… that was one of the most ridiculous moments in the film. A complete disrespect to the character's image built in the previous film. At that moment, it becomes clear that the goal here wasn't to create a real story, but simply to ride the wave of popularity from the previous film, releasing anything involving Broly's name to sell. My rating of 4 is justified precisely because of this: the dishonor to the character, the weak narrative, the lackluster fights, and the numerous plot holes that hinder any attempt to take this film seriously. The only truly good thing I can highlight is the final blow, when Gohan, Goten, and Goku team up to defeat Broly. This scene, though brief, at least delivers some of the emotion expected from a Dragon Ball climax. Unfortunately, it's far too little to salvage the rest of the disaster. =================================================================================================================Versão em Português===================================== Porque esse filme existe? Esse filme sofre de um problema muito parecido com o segundo filme em que o Cooler aparece: é uma sequência completamente desnecessária de um filme que mal conseguia se manter. O primeiro filme do Broly não tinha uma história forte o suficiente para justificar continuações. O que segurava o interesse do público eram, principalmente, as lutas, algo que, infelizmente, este filme não consegue entregar nem de longe no mesmo nível. A ideia de colocar a Videl enfrentando o Broly logo no início foi simplesmente patética. Isso, pra mim, já deixou claro que o filme não tinha nenhum compromisso com a construção do personagem. O Broly, que no filme anterior era uma entidade quase invencível, capaz de colocar medo em todos os Guerreiros Z e de esmagar qualquer um que cruzasse seu caminho, aqui é reduzido a uma piada. Não existe aquele peso, aquela sensação de ameaça que fazia dele um vilão tão memorável. Mesmo sendo um antagonista com muito carisma, não há nenhum recurso narrativo convincente que explique por que ele estaria “brincando” de lutar com o Goten e o Trunks. Essas interações não apenas quebram completamente a lógica do personagem, como também tiram qualquer credibilidade da ameaça que o filme tenta estabelecer. A situação é tão mal construída que chega a ser difícil levar a sério. E então vem uma das cenas mais absurdas e vergonhosas: o Trunks mijando na cara do Broly. Sério… isso foi um dos momentos mais ridículos do filme. Um completo desrespeito à imagem do personagem que foi construída no filme anterior. Nessa hora, fica evidente que o objetivo aqui não era criar uma história de verdade, mas apenas surfar na popularidade do filme anterior, lançando qualquer coisa que envolvesse o nome Broly para vender. A minha nota 4 se justifica exatamente por isso: pela desonra ao personagem, pela narrativa fraca, pelas lutas sem graça e pelos inúmeros furos de roteiro que atrapalham qualquer tentativa de levar esse filme a sério. A única coisa realmente boa que posso destacar é o golpe final, quando Gohan, Goten e Goku se unem para derrotar o Broly. Essa cena, apesar de rápida, ao menos entrega um pouco da emoção que se espera de um clímax em Dragon Ball. Infelizmente, é muito pouco para salvar o restante do desastre.

First of all, i would say that am a big DBZ fan. But it is true that DBZ movies lack something that the series had.. this one is not an exception. We get to see more of Trunks and Goten in this one. Broly, the legendary super saiyan who was defeated in one of the previous movies came back to defeat kakarot. He was awakened by goten whose cry resembled to that of Goku's when he was a kid. It was stupid because when goku was infant, so was broly by that time... we never know how he reminisced goku's cry so well. The strength ofthis movie lies in its climax where we get to see a 'family kamehameha' of goku, gohan and goten. That was one of the most memorable moments of the series. there are also some good comic scenes in involving goten and trunks which are good to watch. Videl is quite annoying. this is only for those who do not mind the loop holes of the plot (as there are many). So finally i say, do watch it if you are a DBZ fan.

Broly: The Second Coming is quite possibly the worst out of the DBZ movies. I mean this movie is absolutely terrible from the beginning to around the last three minutes. Dragonball Z has always been something that was heavily focused on its action. Unfortunately, the action takes a backseat to some horrible and very annoying comedy, and it doesn't even deliver on the action when it finally gets there. Also, like the previous movies, this is not something a newbie can jump into. Someone new to the franchise will be completely lost, but for the fans, this actually feels like it could have taken placeat some point during the Great Saiyaman Saga. The plot follows Goten and Trunks as they search for the Dragon Balls to make a wish. Their journey ends when they meet up with the blood thirsty Broly whom confuses Goten with Goku. This begins a cat and mouse game that sees Goten and Trunks doing whatever possible to stay alive until someone stronger can battle Broly. Do not come into this movie expecting anything you saw in Broly's first appearance. Now the first movie wasn't great by no means, still though, it managed to excel where it counts for the most part. Plus it had a more interesting cast to work with. Here, the pacing is atrocious, and I find this movie very difficult to sit through to the point where I have to hit the fast forward. Trunks and Goten are the main characters here and their ridiculous antics are at their peak. These two characters are barely tolerable in small doses, so giving them their own movie can only be described as cringe-inducing. The plot is incredibly boring, and a person may think that things would pick up when Broly finally makes his appearance. Unfortunately, the writers saw fit to turn Broly into a one dimensional idiot that had a hard time killing two Saiyan children and a human girl. I found him to be very disappointing when comparing him to his first appearance. The action scenes completely lack imagination and are uninspired. The production values aren't half bad though. I didn't have an issue with the animation, and the light show during the final moments is a plus. The action doesn't consist of the reused cel combat, but I was actually missing at least that much, since the rest of the action was so weak and slow. The BGM attempts to add some type of flare to the action, but it simply cannot save these poor segments. So what do you get when you have a movie with very bad comedy, rotten action, and a weak antagonist? Well, you get Broly: The Second Coming, and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone other than serious DBZ fans. This flick is that bad. Highs: Ending Lows: There are way too many

I really enjoy that this was a light-hearted entry in the series packed with humor and had an interesting "gotta survive against an unbeatable foe" setup for a while. However, the proportion of the movie that is an endless fight scene is inversely proportional to how much I enjoy these Dragon Ball movies, and this one started well before the halfway point. No Goku, not even Gohan for most of it, is pretty neat. Goten, Trunks, and Videl accidentally stumble on Broly, and none of them are anywhere near able to defeat him without the use of the Dragon Balls, which they have to finish collecting.That's a good plot! But... it still turns into a power levels battle by the end of it, copping out on its brief promise of a legitimately interesting resolution. I don't think people remember exactly what parts of Dragon Ball Z people actually look back so fondly to-- it's not the forty episode fight scenes that drag on for ages because the animators didn't want to catch up with the manga, it's the buildups to them. In the Frieza Saga, Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma go to Planet Namek to find the Dragon Balls on that planet, but at the same time, Frieza is there for the same reason, and Vegeta is there as a rogue agent trying to collect them for his own ends. There's two villains simultaneously fighting each other while trying to collect the Dragon Balls, and the heroes are trapped in the middle, way weaker but with the advantage of not being noticed. It's this really tension-filled thriller plot as the heroes zip across the planet trying to save the day without getting murderized, and only when Goku arrives to help does the story turn into the endless fighting it's all remembered for. That ramble is to say, boo on Toei for not going all the way with this second Broly movie and having our weak heroes defeat the rampaging villain with their wits (and Shen Long's infinite wish granting powers). Continuity Problems: Actually, besides the fact that the previous Broly movie is timeline-impossible, this one fits pretty well into the vague area where everyone's training for the Budokai Tenkaichi. It has the minor error of Videl seeing just how strong Goten and Trunks are despite being thoroughly surprised by it at the tournament itself, but that's the type of thing that can be handwaved.

Time to tackle a DBZ movie for a change, since my previous reviews were on Pokemon movies and 1 Pokemon short. As with my other reviews, I'm looking at the English dub and not the sub. However, I did manage to watch the full, uncut version of this film, so there can't possibly be any deleted scenes that would affect this movie's score like there were with previous ones. Story: Due to this being a sequel to, arguably, one of the best DBZ movies that have been made, the story isn't as detailed as before. There's no backstory to why Broly wants to destroy Earth sincealmost everything about him was explained in the previous film, which I'm fine with. However, what I'm not fine with is characters randomly popping out of nowhere to save the day without much explanation outside of "I was in the neighborhood and figured you'd want help". There's also some incredibly thick plot armor surrounding just about every character since no matter what Broly does to them, the most he does is just knock them out. This series pretty much thrives on characters dying and they've worked around the "Bringing back the dead only works once" rule several times, so it's not like they couldn't have killed at least someone off. There's also the matter of some really childish jokes, mostly piss jokes, that I'd expect from an Adam Sandler movie, not DBZ. Art: The artwork for this movie is the same as the show, which I find a bit upsetting since most anime movies based off the shows can at least put a bit more detail into the movie than the show can. However, it's not that bothering since the artwork of the show isn't the worst I've ever seen. Sound: I have a mixed bag with this. On one hand, the soundtrack is amazing, pretty much like most other DBZ movies. There's some amazing songs that get your blood pumping for the fights, which I love. On the other hand, though, some of the voice acting is either terrible, annoying, or both. I've never liked Goten all that much in the show due to how annoying he can be and how terrible his voice sounds. While some would defend him saying that he's just a kid, so of course he's going to whine a lot and just be overall annoying, I'd say look at how Gohan developed. Yeah, he started off annoying as well, but once he got used to being a fighter, he became pretty cool. With Goten, he's already a pretty good fighter, but still annoys the crap out of me. There's also a lot of supporting actors that do a terrible job at voice acting, but at least they only get a few lines. Character: Like stated above, I don't like Goten. At all. However, the other characters aren't as bad, but most just serve as distractions until the real fight begins between Gohan and Broly. Videl gets knocked out pretty early on which is followed by a lot of piss jokes along with other childish humor from Goten and Trunks. Enjoyment: I personally find this not only the weakest of the Broly trilogy, but the weakest of all the DBZ movies I've seen. While the action was great, it doesn't really get started until the second half. While that's the same case with the first Broly movie, at least that one had the excuse of building up Broly as a character whereas this one just uses it to fill time until Gohan arrives.
