Dragon Ball Z: Broly the Legendary Super Saiyan

The South Galaxy has been destroyed, at the hands of a Super Saiyan. King Kai fearing the worst for the North Galaxy calls upon Goku to hunt down and try to defeat the universe from this new evil. The hunt leads him to the new planet Vegeta where Krillin, Gohan, Trunks and newly appointed King Vegeta are also on the hunt for this dangerous Super Saiyan. While on the planet Goku realizes the Paragus’s son Broly is the Legendary Super Saiyan. Broly’s hate of Goku spills over and the battle begins between good and evil.   


“Broly the Legendary Super Saiyan” is the eighth movie made for the Dragon Ball Z universe. This DBZ film is set sometime during the Cell Saga. This movie brings back a custom soundtrack that was not in the anime itself. It is also the longest DBZ movie made, clocking in at seventy-three minutes long. The movie moves along a little slow at first but once the action picks up the speed picks up. The flashbacks in the movie are a nice touch because without it, we wouldn’t understand why Paragus is able to control Broly, why Broly hates Goku, and how Paragus and Broly survived when we thought that Goku and Vegeta were the only pure blooded Saiyans left. The movie made Vegeta look weak when it came to fighting. With him giving up and not even wanting to fight the legend once he found out that he was no match. This is not the Vegeta we know, has too much pride not to fight. The plot to this movie is the same in some parts as the other films, but was good putting Saiyan on Saiyan something they have not done since “Tree of Might” but did so much better in this film. In all “Broly the Legendary Super Saiyan” is a must own for any DBZ fan with its great soundtrack from bands like Pointy Shoe Factory, Pantera, and Gravity Pool. It also has a great fight scene between the two strongest Saiyans ever: Broly and Goku. So go out and rent, borrow or buy because this is one of the top 4 of DBZ movies and is a must watch.

Good:
-Fight Scene between Goku and Broly
-Decent Plot
-Great Music

Bad:
-Little slow in the beginning
-Vegeta not acting like himself being a complete baby and refusing to fight

Scully Rating: 8.5 out of 10
