Gosh, This was really a letdown compared to the first Broly film.

The first two-thirds of the movie consist of a bunch of slapstick gags and various comedic moments involving Broly chasing after Trunks and Goten. There's gags here that feel like they were pulled directly out of Looney Tunes, and it all just feel incredibly out of place for Dragon Ball Z. Not to mention, Broly isn't taken very seriously during any of this, making him appear less like a threat and more just like a joke who keeps shouting "kakkarot!" as though it's the only thing he can say.

After Gohan enters the picture in the last third of the movie, we finally get some decent action scenes, but it's fairly short lived, and even then, these action scenes are nowhere near as exciting as the scenes from the first Broly film. In fact, I found many of the fight sequences here to feel kind of bland in comparison.

There's a couple of memorable shots in this part of the movie, however... such as when Broly unleashes a massive amount of energy and releases wave after wave of different colored energy bursting from his body, or when Gohan, Goten, and Goku are all firing Kamehameha waves next to each other, essentially giving us a memorable "three generations" kamehameha. However, you still have to slog through everything else to get to these shots, so their inclusion really doesn't make up for the lackluster quality of the rest of the film.

I will say that it gets a slightly higher score than I otherwise would have given it due to the high quality of the animation. However, I'd only recommend this to completionists... those who want to watch every Dragon Ball Z film. Everyone else would be better off skipping it.
