Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods is a simple but effective movie that sets up the future of the franchise. Using the backdrop of Bulma's birthday as a setting, a whimsical destroyer God comes to Earth, seeking the Super Saiyan God of legend.

The story isn't winning points for inspiration, but the comedy and lore are enough to leave you entertained. By the way, I watched this movie in the uncut Japanese dub with subtitles for the most accurate translation. The performance by the voice actors was top notch.

There's some great animation when the fighting kicks off, and this adds to the appeal of the movie, ...

Mixed Feelings

Ooh boy. Battle of Gods. A movie known to many as Dragon Ball's revival into the modern world of anime, and for what it was it's not too bad. Now, being that it's a complete revival of a franchise, it's not perfect in anyway, but it's good enough to be considered enjoyable as a whole.

Plot(3.8/5): The story here is at best solid for Dragon Ball standards, nothing terrible or really groundbreaking as many would say, it's pretty simple in a way. It has some interesting points here and there, but it's really standard at best.

Characters(2.95/5): Characters here are probably the second weakest point ...

This is not Dragon Ball. This is a poorly written disgrace with dry ass jokes and boring fights that does not even know its characters.

You will notice that our beloved main character for instants acts completely different besides his eating habits and lust for battle.
Goku underestimates his opponents in the first confrontation and at the end he even bends over to the badguy.
Vegeta is a punk ass bitch to Bills who also bends over.

The way they tried to introduce Super Saiyan God was poorly done. What was it? It appeared in the dream on some oversensitive destroyer god and it has to be true because ... some fish who isn't even sure himself said so.

Remember when Super Saiyan God appeared in the Future Timeline? You don't? Neither do I. The entire prophecy is a plot hole. The God comes out of nowhere being pulled out Toriyama's ass like usual, never before mentioned and just happened to come to earth of all places.

Aside from being a recolor and having a shitty name, Super Saiyan God was completely forgettable in the movie since not only was there no hype to its reveal but it literally did nothing in the fight against Bills.
And what is the fuss about the Saiyan God when in the future said hyped up form loses to a bunch of Saiyans that can't even turn Super Saiyan. Complete embarrassment.
You are telling me Whis didn't know about Broly or suggested they go to Universe 6?

The only redeeming factor of the movie, if you can call that, is the future events of exploring other universes if anything. But since that will never be done unless you count Dragon Ball Heroes, this entire movie was a waste of time.

You can take out all the pointless slice of life stuff and you get a 6 minute OVA. A complete snorefest. And people say this of all Dragon Ball movies is the best?
I can name at least 21 other Dragon Ball movies that have far more to offer.

Freaking Bio Broly is a master piece compared to this. At least the fights in Bio Broly are good. And every scene with Mr Satan is a joy to watch. If you think the Pudding Scene can even compare to Mr Satan's best moments, you are delusional.

What about the visuals? They look like plastic. Goku's Super Saiyan forms don't alter the brightness of his outfit so the coloring with his transformation look like crap. Then you have the awful CGI scenes which are worse when the boring final fight slows down to show each blow. This is the worst use of CGI I have seen. Even Revival of F did that better.

Non of the soundtracks is memorable. At least I remember "FRIEZA FRIEZA FRIEZA" from Revival of F. Battle of Gods didn't even have that much.

Do yourself a favor and don't watch this garbage. Even the DBS version is shit but at least the ending is good and Goku's character is corrected to not look down on his enemies. Some of the jokes get build up even tho they get repetitive. And the final fight doesn't look consistently like dogshit. And if you are obsessed with Goku vs Superman and want a reason to argue for several days with other fanboys about why Goku can beat Superman (even if he can't), avoid this garbage movie and watch the less awful but still awful DBS version.

Overall this movie doesn't even deserve a 1 out of 10. Most positives that don't hold up are external things like getting more Dragon Ball and more shit to explore. Did you really think Toriyama can write something like that? Just look at Namek, which is just a glorified battlefield.

Overall, Battle of Gods is FANFICTION turned into a movie.
