Dragon Ball Z Movie 15: Fukkatsu no "F"

Earth is finally peaceful again, but this calm is short-lived. The remnants of Frieza's army, led by Sorbet and his right hand Tagoma, arrive on Earth in order to summon Shen Long with the goal of resurrecting their old master. To do so, they threaten Emperor Pilaf, Shuu, and Mai for the Dragon Balls in their possession.

Once successfully revived, Frieza—who had been stoking his hatred for Gokuu Son and Future Trunks in Hell—proclaims that he will not be content until they are dead by his hand. Sorbet informs him that Future Trunks has not been heard of in years, and Gokuu's power has far surpassed even that of the mighty Majin Buu. Unfazed, Frieza responds that he only requires a few months of training before being capable of defeating Gokuu.

Will Frieza be able to exact revenge upon his nemesis, or will Gokuu, Vegeta, and their friends prevail against adversity, saving Earth once more?

This is a review of the extended edition, unlike Battle of Gods I wouldn't consider this cut to be essential, it's just a bit of flashback fanservice and an ad for the Future Trunks television arc, nothing serious.

This canon sequel to the previous film, Battle of Gods, continues to deliver a fun and engaging followup to Akira Toriyama's legendary shonen manga. Whereas Battle of Gods treaded similar ground to Yo! Son Goku and Friends Return!, with a nice balance of slice of life and fighting, this movie is all about the fights, which isn't really a bad thing! Once again I'm very pleased to see ...

Okay, so pinanood ko ng buo yung Tagalog dubbed ng Resurrection F. I know, it's been released for like; 2 or 3 years now pero ngayon ko lang napanood yung fight scenes na tagalized. Dati kase pag labanan na, biglang magshi-shift yung audio from Tagalog into English. Ngayon, tagalized na ang full movie. MABUHAY ANG MGA PIRATA!! So yun, maraming beses ko nang napanood/nabasa ang kwentong ito. English, Japanese kahit Latino pa par napanood ko na. At ang performance sa bawat languages ay exhilarating. Though ito ang worst canon part ng story ng buong Dragon Ball Franchise, you can still enjoy it for nostalgia. Dati ...

I think Toei or Toriyama have an obsession with Frieza just like with Broly. The dude can't stay death for a single arc.
Even if he isn't the centre of the story, his cells are still involved. He is in almost every flashback or with anyone involved. It just doesn't stop. And every time he returns he is the butt of all jokes, even if he gets an illogical power boost like in this movie by training for 6 month off screen and surpass even the latest recolor power up by our Toriyama-Sensei :D

Frieza poses no threat. Whis and Beavus are there eating desert while Frieza ... shits his pants seeing them. Like in the previous movie Billus is treated like a gary stu and turns everyone into his bitch. Honestly, I feel if instead of a movie we got a slice of life series, Frieza's power up would be more tolerable. But this movie tries to be serious and ruins Frieza in the process. Not that he needed any more humiliation. Trunks, GT, Fusion Reborn etc already did a fantastic job in making Frieza look like a jobber. And Dragon Ball Super would turn Frieza into full Team Rocket.

Toriyama-Sensei was inspired by a Music which the people keep yell Frieza. Said music appears in the theatres and its making me honestly laugh. I like a good comedy but I don't feel that was the intended reaction by the directors.

How about the fights? So the jobber teams exchange some blows. Piccolo struggles with some orc dude. Is he perfect Cell Level? I doubt. The movie nerved Gohan and Piccolo making them look weaker than they were on Namek. Gohan apparently can't even use his full power and gets humiliated like usual since the Buu Saga.

Goku and Frieza would finally enter the fight. For some reason Goku and Vegeta care more about taking turns than just finishing off Frieza who like every DBZ villain would blow up the planet if cornered. Thank god he won't do that...
Goku and Frieza would change colors looking like designs I am certain I saw on Deviantart at some point.
Then Goku gets almost killed by some gunlaser making him look like a weakling. Isn't he in some kind of God Form? How did that happen when back then he could tank shit like that and not even flinch?
Talk about inconsistency.

So Vegeta enters the ring and gets killed by Frieza because Frieza did the unthinkable and blew up the planet. :/
Thank god we have the Dragon Balls to fix that, but since nobody wanted to animate Porunga for this movie, Whis turns into a plot device who can just rewind time so Frieza can be stopped.

I think I spoiled the movie, but seriously I didn't. You can see the ending miles ahead. Vegeta being a jobber and getting humiliated even by a worn down Frieza is Toriyama's specialty. He hates Vegeta and I don't know if I love him for that.

Music was meh. I liked the jokes with Jaco. Tien used the Tri Beam so he gets points for trying. The CGI was a turn off, but the colors were pretty. I like pretty colors :]

Sadly I can't give this movie a good score. Every character in this movie was a disappointment. The premise is something we have seen billions of times. And it kinda negates the things that happened on Namek. If only Frieza trained before coming to earth... maybe even Super Saiyan Blue Trunks wouldn't be able to stop him.
Why didn't Frieza train anyways in the first place? Being scared of Super Saiyans... that fear was unjustified.

Also the entire exploration of all the universes was halted wasting the things established from Battle of Gods for a filler movie.

And there were no cute waifus. If you can't give me a good story, good fights or ruin previous arcs... the least you can do add someone as hot as Kefla to keep my attention and excitement. If a Love Live movie were called a Dragon Ball Z movie, at least that would get at least a 5.
