Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero
Super-humans, Extraterrestrials, & Androids… oh my!
An ex-con genius is recruited by the Red Ribbon Army to develop super androids to battle their nemeses. An infiltration of a secret base uncovers a kidnap plot. This is a story of teamwork, evolution, & summoning your inner superpowers to overcome great obstacles in a battle between good & evil. If you are a fan of the manga/anime Dragon Ball franchise, you’ll likely get a great nostalgic kick out of this latest movie. If you are unfamiliar, you may be a little overwhelmed as so many characters with special powers & relationships are introduced. Regardless, it’s an action-packed animated show with a sense of humor that dates backs to the mid 1980’s but has evolved to this point. There is an original Japanese version with English subtitles playing but I viewed the English dubbed one. I always wonder if anything was lost in translation. There was an additional charge for what I️ was told was a special screening. Stay seated for one final clip in between the Japanese credits & the English credits.
Alien gives it 2½ “granting wishes” stars out of 4.
