Dragon Ball Super: Broly [SteelBook] [Digital Copy] [Blu-ray/DVD] [Only @ Best Buy] [2019]

First of all, Dragon Ball Super Broly is a very fun movie. The animation is fantastic, the music is some of Super's best, and the humor is very well done. The problem is with this home release. Something happened with FUNimation's master, and there is a green tint over the picture that should not be there. It ruins the great colors this movie has. I have posted a comparison in this review. The other problem is, if you are a fan of the Japanese version, Toei is starting to force licensees to use dub names in the subtitles for the Japanese track (for example, "Freeza" is spelled as the incorrect dub spelling "Frieza". This is a baffling decision that really benefits no one. Anyway, it is difficult for me to recommend this release. When a huge draw of the movie is its visuals, the green tint really ruins things. The UK Blu-ray is reported to not have the green tint, so I would recommend that release. It is region locked though, so you would need a way to get around that.

Dragon Ball Super: Broly by itself is a great , fun movie worth watching for everyone and a must-see for Dragon Ball fans. A+, 5 stars. The blu-ray release on the other hand, has some unworthy technical and digital qualities. (The extras are fun, though they're only from the Funimation side. Nothing from the Toei side, or any deleted scenes. Not taking stars for that). First off, the digital copy included DOES NOT transfer to regular digital libraries like Vudu and Movies Anywhere. It's ONLY for Funimation's own website and service. And from what I read, even after you redeem the code, there's some issues customers had accessing it from that website. Second off, it's been confirmed that the Blu-Ray disc version of the film has some sort of light green tint over the video. There's been no explanation so far. Reports about this are spread throughout the internet. Apparently, this is not a issue on the DVD versions. Overall, the blu-ray copy seems to fail at having a pristine copy of the film with the tint issue on the blu-ray disc, and for those expecting to put in a digital copy to their Vudu/Movies Anywhere/Apple, ect digital library, THIS WILL NOT WORK. You're better off this time spending full price on buying a digital copy straight from Vudu itself. Hopefully these issues will be addressed in the future.

Right of the bat, the movie is a love letter to Dragon Ball fans. A 5/5. Pros: Animation is near perfect Music is great (just with one issue) Story expands the series in many ways Cons: The Japanese dub is a bit butchered. Subs are a bit inaccurate and doesn't play the Japanese song (Blizzard) For some strange reason theres a green tint on (certain) blurays. The UK version has none The bonus features are terrible. Theres nothing besides interviews and Vic's (the voice of Broly and the main star) interview is completely removed. Either way, you can find them on YouTube, which makes it a lame "feature". The digital copy is the worst. You have to use their website. You can't redeem it on Google, amazon, iTunes, or any major player. You can't download it, only stream it through them. So overall, the movie is 5/5 but the whole package is a 3/5. Funimation is dropping it on their biggest franchise. With this, the vic issue, the 30th box set, funimation needs to get their act together.

The movie itself is fantastic- even my friends who were not Dragonball friends loved it in theaters. The steelbook also looks really nice, with very vibrant colors and all. But do beware, it does scratch easily. The botched release is about the green color tint on US releases that dulls the colors of the show quite drastically- it's like viewing through a foggy lens on the Blu-Ray, a simple google search will explain it very well. Another large factor is the whole Vic Mignogna (voice of Broly) debacle- he has been all but stripped from the credits, and despite playing such a huge roll in the movie, all references to him have been virtually cut from it, such as special features. There are some great YouTube videos out there on the topic if you're interested. The MangaUK edition that you can import does not suffer from the color dulling tint, or from the censorship of Vic. However, it does not come in the admittedly awesome steelbook case. Despite its flaws, the steelbook Blu-Ray is a great movie collector's item, and definitely was a good purchase.

Dragon Ball Super: Broly review. Following the events of Battle of the God's and Resurrection F', this might have been one of the best Dragon Ball movies of all time. Basically, it tells the story of the events after Planet Vegeta was destroyed. Here, we are introduce to a new Saiyan: Broly. Broly wasn't treat right by his father, which makes him so dominant when he grows up. Along the way, we get Goku and Vegeta who will stop at nothing to retrieve back the dragon balls that Frieza and his crew stole as well as take down Broly. My thoughts: I was hyped and pumped for this film. From the moment this was announced to the moment I saw the title card, this film delivered. From its' action battles between Broly, Goku, Frieza and Vegeta to it's plot and soundtrack, this film is a must watch for anime and dragon Ball fans. So with that in mind, I'm going to give Dragon Ball Super: Broly a 10 out of 10.

I was skeptical when I heard that there would be a new Dragon Ball movie centered around Broly. If you've never seen any of the other three movies centered around Broly, he's kind of a dumb character. He was always physically intimidating, sure, but his backstory about listening to Goku cry so much that it drove him insane was just ridiculous. That said, this movie manages to rewrite Broly's backstory and do it well. And the action sequences are just absolutely stunning (which they kind of have to be since they last over half of the movie). Seriously, I never thought I'd be glad that they made Broly a canon character, but they did it and it's awesome.

Many fans of DB Z will remember Broly as the near-unstoppable monstrosity of a saiyan whose very power proved to be much more than his body could handle. Dragon Ball Super Broly is a canon story set after the Tournament of Power arc from the Super anime, with Goku still seeking greater heights and greater foes. Where the original Broly was something of a brainless oaf, the new Broly has an almost Tarzan like feel to him, making him feel tragic when the battle finally kicks into gear. The animation some of the best Toei has made in years, with the action always changing perspective and just dripping with great choreography.

although it is very well known that this movie is extremely well made and arguably one of the best dragon ball movies to date, this review is mostly regarding the product and not the movie itself. The steelcase is very durable and the art design on the box looks great! I've played the bluray in several players, including PS4 and Xbox 1 and never had any problems with either playing. The quality of the movie looks exceptional and I've heard of rumors regarding a greenish hue throughout the movie but I've never seen it in my copy. This is a must-have for any Dragonball enthusiast collector.
