One fateful day, a Saiyan appears before Goku and Vegeta whom they have never seen before: Broly. Goku, knowing that there are ever-stronger forces in the universe, spends all of his time training to achieve another level. If that’s the case, don’t worry: we watched extra hard so you wouldn’t have to. Earth is at peace following the Tournament of Power. Watching the film once just isn’t enough, but, considering the limited release, it might be all you get before its home release. This film is chalk full of blink and you miss it moments. It’s also packed with content, to the point where Toriyama’s script was reportedly sliced in half. That’s going to be hit or miss for most fans, but the point is that Broly is a game changer.
