About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quick, action-heavy Dragon Ball adventure with lots of brawls and jokes; Not for you if you need deep villains or tight logic like Dragon Ball Super: Broly.

Pros: fast, fun fights; snowy atmosphere; classic humor beats | Cons: bland mad-scientist villains; thin, silly story; a few dragging moments
