How many retcons are we going to have to see of Frieza wiping out the Sayians? It seems like anytime we try to go back and visit an earlier time period we end up with some sort of timeline inconsistency.
This movie is plagued with established plot elements that just get ignored later on. The biggest ones I can recall are:
Raditz somehow knowing that his parents sent Goku off to Earth. He was away on a mission and they had stated earlier that communication using the scouters is monitored so how exactly did he get that information?
Broly turning super sayain. This one is so laughably bad. Broly's father explains that if broly gets too out of control he loses all sense of himself. After fighting in this state for quite some time Frieza decides to kill his father in order to trigger the emotional response that Goku had on Namek when Krillen died. The problem with that is, Broly is a mindless killing machine at this point, his father's death should have had no effect. Broly had shown more emotional attachment to a severed ear, than his father (who forced Broly to kill the only friend he had) Personally I would have had Vegeta accidentally grab the ear in the middle of a fight, say something about how disgusting it is and have him blast it. That would have at least paid off the emotional character arc set up earlier in the story.
Overall, the fight scenes are good, but the story lacks any substance. I'd wait for the eventual arc they'll do when more super episodes come out.
