+Even though I was raised on /Dragon Ball/ and I adore it up to this day, /Super/ was a huge letdown.
+It played as a washed-out version of /Z/ - there was no tension, the new characters were bland, and it was simply boring.
+The fact the only not-terrible part of the series was one huge tournament didn't help.
+Just give me an adventure!
+
+I also can not say I enjoyed Dragon Ball movies.
+There are a few enjoyable, but most of the time they are either bad or incredibly bad.
+They try to condense interesting story lines into a few dozen minutes, failing miserably.
+Say what you will about pacing, but Toriyama sure knew how to build tension over a hundred episode fight.
+
+And therefore we are here, the /Super Hero/ movie.
+It's the last Toryiama's Dragon Ball.
+I expected nothing and still left disappointed.
+
+The story exists, which is nice.
+We're after the last /Broly/ movie.
+Red Ribbon army still exists, and they want to take over the world again.
+Goku and Vegeta are training, so they won't help.
+It's all up to Picollo, Androids and the young Sayians to save the day.
+
+Who is the main enemy this time?
+A new Cell.
+Yes, Red Ribbon's latest acquaintance happens to be a genius capable of creating a better Cell, Cell Max.
+And this is where the good things about this movie end.
+
+Remember Cell's saga?
+It was long, it was interesting.
+It gave us Android 18.
+It was full of development, horror and surprises.
+None of this is present here.
+The new Cell looks worse than the original, doesn't have any forms nor any spoken lines.
+
+Moreover, the animation is terrible.
+Yes, CGI looks great when still, but when we start to see any fight it becomes unwatchable.
+It's the kind of CGI that is not bad per-se, but still obvious.
+It's clear that what we're seeing here is made by a soulless computer.
+They don't even try to hide it with constant camera shifts.
+CGI can look great, but here it looks lazy.

+So, wasted Cell and bad animation.
+Do we get anything instead?
+We do - a lot of fan service.
+We meet people from all other series and hear about even more.
+We see return of figting Gohan and a few thinks we've been waiting for since the 90s.
+It's fitting, as we're decades into Dragon Ball.
+The problem is that they are just there and if they weren't, there would be difference.
+Those cute scenes try to mask absence of anything new and interesting.
+
+Unfortunately, we also see Shenron.
+In the old series, every time he was summoned, it was a spectacle and a memorable moment.
+With each occurrence however the characters stop treating him as a force, but more of a goof ball.
+Yes, the first wish we see him fulfilling was creation of pantyhose, but it was part of the plot.
+Here?
+Here Bulma uses him for butt-lift and wrinkle removal, as he became useless.
+
+And this sadly summarizes all modern Dragon Ball.
+It's a low effort, forced return of an old legend.
+It should stay were it was.
+And this movie is one of the worst parts of /Super/.
+It's not *as* bad as Gohan's[fn:whistle] whistle-dance, but the fact that it's not the worst of DB doesn't save it from being a insulting goodbye to the Dragon Ball world.
+
+[fn:whistle] I've been told that /Dragon Ball Z Movie 4/ has its share of fans, but I've got no idea how.
