Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes is Super Fun
The Dragon Ball franchise is not unknown to anyone, even the people who never watched an ounce of anime know who Goku is. The influence the franchise has on the generation is incomparable. Now, this beast of a franchise is back with another movie filled with the classic booms, fights, humor, and energy balls. So, let's find if and when it is worth your time.
The story is fairly simple and engaging enough to make you want to unravel it. With its fair share of twists and turns it ends up with a relieving and justified climax. The writing of Akira Toriyama does a great job of making you fall in love with the new characters pretty quickly, they do not feel forced and unimportant. The story has some fairly great surprises for old Dragon Ball Z fans too. It mainly explores the age-old relationship between Gohan and Piccolo and finally gives both of these characters the justice they deserved.
The animation style of Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes has a blend of both 3D and 2D elements. The colors bring out the explosions more impactfully taking it to a whole another level. The movements are fluid, fast, and tight, making you indulge in each fight sequence. Despite trying something new with animation Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes doesn't go wrong with its style and remains true to the franchise.
The movie spans beautifully and the story is told in a very simple way, it will give you moments to laugh at, moments to be emotional, and moments to get that adrenaline up and running. It has some very subtle and nostalgic nods to the old-school Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z which will surely be loved by fans. The best part in all of it is that nothing feels forced and rushed and the movie doesn't suffer from any kind of pacing problems. The fights are not interrupted with long pauses and the dynamic camera takes them to another level. Truly at the interval, I felt like only 5 minutes of the movie have passed. The background score does the trick with the sequences matching each drop and all highs.
That being said, with so many characters on board the film naturally is not able to use the character potential of important characters, you may feel that they are capable of doing more but they simply.... don't.
Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes is a treat for all the Dragon Ball fans out there and is just a great watch even if you're not a dragon ball fan and want a fast and mind-blowing experience. The simple storytelling and the lovable characters don't make it very hard to follow the story without any prior knowledge of the series and will indulge you quite immediately. Though it becomes a ton of more fun if you are a fan of the series from the original Dragon Ball.
