Most folks will probably be disappointed with this due to the fact that it comes right after the first Broly film. But if you can look past all that you really should enjoy this one. Think of this as "What if Gohan actually became the main character of DBZ?" like it was originally intended. Complete with blatant references to his all time high moments against Perfect Cell. The big bad's henchmen are ok, unfortunately they don't show any personalities and honestly no dynamic between them and Bojack. I will give them points though for actually being smart enough to attack the hero all at the same time. Bojack while he's a on the dull side when it comes to personality, had incredibly entertaining and brutal fight scenes, had me wishing everybody fought like him. If I'm being honest I felt his transformation was shoehorned in, he didn't even have to be pushed to transformed, it comes out of nowhere in my opinion.

One little detail that I like is the fact that despite being non-canon, an event from the actual series put the story of this film in motion. It almost gives it the feel of being a canon film due to the fact that it takes place during the 7 year time skip. I gotta give this movie some props for a few moments of gore that it has, while they aren't explicit they can still be unexpected. I also think it goes really well with the "Passing of the Torch" theme that the DBZ series had around this time.

Once again Piccolo is only here to save Gohan and then proceed to get thrashed by the villain, same goes with Vegeta in this case. I also thought it was a wasted opportunity that there was no sword fight between Trunks and the henchmen that had a sword. Goku saving Gohan was a gigantic Deus Ex Machina and in my opinion it would've been better if Gohan got out of the predicament without his father's help to show how much he's grown.
