Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero

"(It's) chock-full of popcorn nostalgia and fan favourite characters and villains and power moves exactly like what any fan of the long-running saga is looking for."

"Super Hero is familiarity on top of familiarity, but with slight tweaks in perspective and style."

"For this critic, who has been following Dragon Ball diligently since his teenage years, the fan service only added to the esoteric charm."

"A must-see for fans that salutes one of the series’ best relationships, but newcomers... might want to check out some of the TV series first."

"Fan or not, it’s safe to say you’ll have fun with it."

"If... you can relax and just let it wash over you, Super Hero’s eye candy animation is mesmeric."

"The plot is held together with minced Senzu beans, but for a feature-length fight scene intercut with some hearty chuckles, it’s quite effective."

"The film, while nothing groundbreaking, mostly finds a sweet spot between fan service and narrative heft."

"Though it takes time to warm up, the occasional hiccups in pacing and any qualms with the new style melt away pretty quickly."
