The MEFCC Team attended the Dragon Ball Super: Broly the movie premiere, and it was a blast! A big thanks to Front Row Filmed Entertainment for organising the premiere and Reel Cinemas for hosting it. Check out the review below to know the team's thought on the movie.

WARNING: THERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS AHEAD!  

From here the story takes you straight to the present day as Goku and Vegeta are training on Earty, while two of Frieza's henchmen manage to discover the planet on which Broly and Paragus were abandoned. The story of the movie itself takes it twists and turns as Broly is recruited into the Frieza Force and asked to take on Goku and Vegeta on Earth.

As the fight progresses between all 3 Saiyans, the animation shifts from the old classic Dragon Ball from the 80s, to the Dragon Ball Z animations from the 90s, into a more detailed expression from Dragon Ball Super, and finally into a complete CGI sequence that is reminiscent of the quantum realm from Doctor Strange and Antman and the Wasp from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was great to see how explosive the colours and effects of the ki blasts and other moves from the DB universe, as well as the choreography of the fights, making it an unmissable motion picture for both fans and non fans.

Until now, we can still hear the soundtrack from all the fights in the movie. The chants throughout the fights are reminiscent of the chants from classic Japanese movies, Sumo fights and kabuki plays, representing a full on Far Eastern experience as you watch the fight.

The characters have always been a significant part of the Dragon Ball lore, but one thing that completely stood out, and made a huge change for the better, was the change made to Broly's story and character. In the older movies, Broly was traumatized by Goku's constant crying when theyr're babies, which in turn drove him crazy when they met as adults, making his motive much weaker as a character. In this movie, Broly is raised by Paragus to hate Vegeta and his father, making vengeance his ultimate goal in learning to fight. However, being a gentle child who was raised on survival, Broly's always conflicted when it comes to fighting, unless, if his father, or friends, are in danger. The struggle he goes through in the movie are much more refreshing to a character that has always lacked an understanding of his power, and instead relied on power bursts and rage to overcome his opponents.
