Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Officially Tops Rotten Tomatoes with New Record

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is pushing ahead at the box office, and its global success has brought Goku into some serious money. With over $79 million grossed globally, the movie is a clear hit, and its reviews agree. And now, it seems Dragon Ball Super's new movie has toppled a Rotten Tomatoes record once set by Dragon Ball Super: Broly.

The update comes as Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero welcomed its 55th review to the aggregate site. As you can see here, Rotten Tomatoes has ranked the movie highly with a critic rating of 93%. This score makes Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero the top-scoring movie on Rotten Tomatoes with critics to date as the anime's last movie once held the spot at 82%.

Of course, the user ratings for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero are also high. The feature has a whopping 95% with more than 2,500 user submissions. So as it turns out, you don't need Goku and Vegeta in leading roles to make a successful Dragon Ball movie. Piccolo and Gohan handled this new movie easily enough, after all.

However, Dragon Ball Super: Broly still reigns supreme when it comes to overall gross. The 2018 film is still the franchise's top-earning movie to date with over $120 million earned.
