I have no idea why this movie is hated so much. Like okay, its not the greatest DBZ by any means, and it's not even a great movie in its own right, but worst Dragon Ball movie? Nah.
This movie has some good things going for it, well in terms of Dragon Ball things anyway, since the story is basically just the typical Dragon Ball formula schtick. First off, it primarily features characters that get little to no spotlight and allows them to save the day for once, those characters being Goten, Trunks, Krillin, 18, and Hercule. Unlike Second Coming, this movie actually features the kids fighting Broly in a non comedic way (ehhh...well at least in a way that isn't just running away the whole time...), and when it's just Bio Broly and the kids it's fairly enjoyable.
Another pro is the setting. This is a minor thing but just having the fight take place in a closed location is pretty cool. With that in mind, people are actually in danger and we actually get to see cool scenes like Goten stopping his fight with Broly despite having an advantage to save some scientists from the, uh...goo I guess. Again, not huge but nice little touch. The action in general in this movie is kinda cool. Not "WHOA UBER ACTION BRO" cool but like, cool enough to keep me interested. Better than Android 13's action anyway.
This is an unpopular opinion, but Bio Broly has a good, menacing design and I think it suits the movie well enough. I think the biggest problem with this movie is honestly the fact that it's a third Broly movie. If it was just some rando villain I'm guessing there's a good chance this movie would be liked a bit more.
This movie definitely has downsides too. Aside from the obligatory paper thin plot that comes packaged with nearly every old DBZ movie, the ending of this movie is pretty eh. Trunks finds out the goo stuff kills Broly so he shoots a ki blast at a pipe and it bursts, evaporating Broly. Then later, Broly rises out of the sea but hardens to rock. Pretty lame. The beginning aint too amazing either but at least it has some charm to it.
All in all, not a horrible horrible movie like everyone says it is. This movie is just simply an extension of the anime that lets you see the characters more. Mediocre, yeah. Worst DB movie? Far from it.
