Broly’s space pod has crashed on the planet Earth and is
frozen under a sheet of ice near a small mountain village. Trunks and Goten
along with the help from Videl are on the hunt for the Dragon Balls Their hunt brings
them to a poor mountain village. There they realize that this poor little
mountain town is in need of help, willing to do anything they can to help they
offer themselves as sacrifice to the mountain god. While there Goten starts to
cry that he is hungry, not knowing that his cries have awoken the mighty Broly.
Now Goten, Trunks, and Gohan must fight this evil without the help of Goku.
“Broly Second Coming” is the tenth Dragon Ball Z film, and
the first to have young Trunks and Goten in it. The film takes place seven
years after the defeat of Broly in “Broly the Legendary Super Saiyan.” Its placement
in the anime timeline is several years after the defeat of Cell and sometime
after the “World Martial Arts Tournament.” I personally do not understand what
is with the Dragon Ball Z franchise and their obsession with peeing on people. This
is the second film to have a main character pee on someone else’s head. Yes it
is funny but really not necessary. Music wise I have another issue they give us
wonderful music with two films in the franchise being “Coolers Revenge” and the
first Broly film, but those being the only two that have received custom
soundtracks. It is safe to assume that no other movie will have that customization
and I do not understand why it adds another element to these films. Action
isn’t as strong as it was in the first Broly film but this movie holds its own
with one nice key aspect, brothers fighting together to save the earth. That is
something we have never seen in a DBZ film. Plot though differing a little
because Goku isn’t around to come and save the day. But, the fact is that he
still manages to help out from the other world is something we all should have
expected. All in all, with the success of the first Broly film this sequel is
only adequate and isn’t a great installment to the Dragon Ball z universe
except for some very minute points.
Good:
-Brothers working together to defeat this evil
-Nice to see a DBZ film with very little involvement from
Goku
-Action is good toward the end
Bad:
-No music worth complementing on
-characters are weak outside of Gohan
-Plot is a tad different but nothing significant
