'!!!Carefull - spoilers below!!! '

Pros: - The animations are ok (not CGI), finally they invested a good amount of money hiring decent artists. Nothing special, but considering all the Super's animations with the exception of the TOP (despite even in TOP there are a few terrible moments); - Gogeta. Period. - Fights Choreography: finally something that worth be watched. - Shintani's style. He is a good artist. I'm not his fan nor a like very much the Goku's style he gave in the film, but I'm honest (not like some fanboys), he is polished and well made, if you like his drawings you'll like his Goku

Cons: - The CGI...boy the CGI is TERRIBLE, what in the world Toei was thinking? Saving money? - Story is non-existent (I laughed hard to the so called backstory of Broly - poor soul, the father made his favourite pet escape, I'm sooo sad...even Disney's film aren't so *censored*). Probably Jiren has a better backstory than him; - The Broly's Fiancee: annoying character, really hoped Freeza would've killed her; - Power Level scaling: useless as always - Piccolo….why is he in the film? - Bardock appereance and backstory: ugly. Even Toyotaro criticized it. - The ending. Really, I know Vegeta is part of Gogeta and he is the king of shaft, but stealing a plain victory and an easy kill from him just because "poor souls" Broly could make Toei more money in the future is absurd. It should've died. Period. - The Kakaroth debate. It makes sense only if the "call me Kakaroth" thing is a reference to the old Broly's film (and I think this is the case, plain and simple), where he keeps screaming KAKAROOOOOOOOOTH all the way while he massacre everyone. Other interpretations are just more nails to Goku's coffin as unique and main DB character (unless you consider Super non-canon but just a spin-off, in which case I'm ok with every interpretation).

In the end, if you like a lot of lights and colours, well made animations a good fighting scenes, this film worth a shot. Otherwise, if you like characterizations, a story well made, coherent with the franchise's universe, deep and good characters stay away from the film. (Spoiler... Kind of... Maybe... I guess... Yeah, the last part is)

I'm pretty sure most of the animators before the TOP did, in fact, animate the TOP and people like Naoki Tate were there since the beginning of the series. Unless I'm missing something (Please correct me if I am) the only new animators on board were 2 MHA animators. I think the CGI was for animators to focus on the more critical or action heavy parts to save time, and by saving Broly they're probably setting something up with him for the new series. Another reason might be because of how the movie seems to set him up as the protagonist instead with how the emphasize the brutal beatdown from Gogeta. The rest is your opinion, so I won't talk about it.
