Dragon ball Z movie 15 Fukkatsu no F or Resurrection of Frieza
seems to go canon with movie 14 Battle of Gods.

Some time has passed since the events of The God of destruction Beerus alongside Whis were introduced as brand new characters from the previous movie that takes place after the Majin Buu Arc within the Dragon ball Z series, Along with the revamped Dragon ball Kai 2014 finishing off as well as an announcement of a new Series dawning upon us right after that,
There have certainly been a lot of new content going on in and out of the franchise lately.

Story/Plot - 5
So I'll read more

Dragon Ball Z Movie 15: Fukkatsu no F Review (Dub BTW)

Story (7/10) Good
The story for Fukkastu No F is good not very good just got IT'S DRAGONBALL PEOPLE one of the main reason majority of people watch Dragonball is not really for the story so when you hear what the plot is for Fukkatsu No F you shouldn't be surprised that it's straight forward. Frieza is revived by the Dragonballs, he invades earth they fight him simple. It is what it is and I think at best it's good I didn't have an issue with he because it's not what I watch Dragonball for it's not bad so that's all that really matters to me if it was you would see something less then what this website considers a 7.

Art (8/10) Very Good
The art I thought was very good it's Toei if Toei knows how to do anything it's right it's making something look very good (which is an 8) to masterpiece (which is a 10). This section is call ART so I wouldn't be talking about animation. But as far as CG is concerned it look OK, I noticed it from time to time like when Frieza's troops start to fly at the Z warriors or when Frieza at certain parts during the main fight and it didn't necessarily bother me, now could we have done without them? YES! But is it something to complain about? NO (At least not to me). To the unkeen eye in the Theater (which is where I watched it) I bet 85% of the people didn't even notice it, which is why I say it's nothing to complain about, it's here so deal with it, doesn't ruin my experience.

Sound (9/10) Great
Granted I watched this in the Theater in English Dubbed so this counts for sound to me. Now all of the sound effects sound great, this is a category that's hard to mess up so a 9 sounds reasonable to me. The English voice actors were amazing at their lines they me it sound great. Especially Sean Schemmel which is always good but I when I certain a certain groan noise in pain for Goku in the scene when Frieza is stomping on Goku's wound when he was on the floor that solidified it for me that he's not only still good at doing Goku's voice but he's gotten even better. All the other voice actors are great also the voice they chose for Jako was pretty good also, it took sometime to get used to but once I did it fits him (I hope they don't change it).

Character (10/10) Masterpiece
All my favorite DBZ characters are back (not in their prime sure.. Gohan) but back nonetheless! And seeing all of them is why I enjoy this anime and movie because everyone acted exactly how I remembered nothing has changed and that's perfect for me. Jako the new character introduced in the movie "in my opinion" stole the show he was outstandingly entertaining and unique. I've read all the chapters of his manga a couple months back so I have knowledge of him going into this movie. So to see that his personality moved over to the big screen is great because I think he's a great addition to the group and I hope (we most likely will) we see more of him after the Fukkastu No F Arc in DBS.

Enjoyment (9/10) Great
The best thing as far as enjoyment to this movie in my opinion is the pacing. In comparison to Battle of Gods (which took just a little too long to get to the fight which is what majority of people watch Dragonnball Z for) Fukkatsu No F didn't jump straight into the fight but it kept it a length that didn't have me saying "Ok I get it can we get to the fights now?". Granted I enjoyed all of the dubbed Diolague in Dragon Ball. Filler or not filler, even in the anime, even in Battle of Gods I enjoyed it all because I love the characters of Dragonball so interaction between characters in Dragonball is enjoyment enough for me. And as if there's anything both Battle of Gods and Fukkastu no F did right is the comedy. Dragonball, Dragonball Z and even GT (to an extent) has always had entertaining comedy but these too movies I feel have one upped the stuff before it. It could be just me or it could be I haven't seen anything Dragonball is such a long time that I have forgotten how hilarious it can be (only thing that has kept DBZ comedy alive over the recent year is Team Four Star..). I personally feel it's at it's best when it comes to comedy in comparison to anything that this helped in enjoyment so much and always have for in anything Dragonball which is why even when a fight isn't being thrown I'm entertained and Fukkastu No F did it's job the Theater was laughing so hard sometimes I couldn't hear the seconds of dialogue after the joke the released it is what it is..

Overall (9/10) Great
This movie to me is great I've seen a combination of people saying either it sucks or it's an 8 at best great that's their opinion and this is mine. The definition of a 9 on this site means great and I can't go up to someone and say "The movie is very good but it's not great" I know other people can but not me, nope. The movie is great, met damn near all my expectations from an anime movie (and anime movies especially DBZ movies are very good at best now that's something I can say). The pacing, characters and dialogue alone makes it a 9 to me. I have no clue what people where excepting from this anime movie and a DBZ movie the least, you can't say this movie is just like the other 13 gtfo (not counting Battle of Gods). Now the reason it's not a 10 is because even though I've praised this movie through out this entire movie it's not a 10 (TO ME) because of a few things and this part can considered a SPOILER just throwing that out there.

*Reasons why it's not a 10 to me*
The reasons of Frieza's race is still not explained and most likely will never be. (we'll see in Dragon Ball Super but I highly doubt I will get the answers I'm looking for) Akira doesn't really care to explain or deepen the origin of Frieza's race and why does this bother me? Firstly he already said it's his favorite villain and out of the 3 main villians of DBZ (Frieza, Cell and Buu) FACE IT as far as origin stories go we know the least about him. All we really know is that his father is Kind Cold and as far as I remember he is a clone of his father so he's not necessarily even an offspring and that's about it. Now to say Frieza hasn't trained a day in his life and is able to reach a power level that can go toe-to-toe with a SSGSS some may consider bull but I can live with that, what really bothers me is WHY and this is where I felt it could have gotten a 10 but it slipped away for me. Here's how it could have gotten a 10 from me, if Akira explained Frieza's backstory and he said that long ago Frieza's race is considered a god which is why his race's base level is so powerful and why when he trains for such a short amount of time is the reason why he can unlock a power comparable to god ki. Now that would have been something I could get behind, if that certain Frieza descendant made an appearance took Frieza and disappeared with let's just say Instant Transmission and they ended the movie like that!? Now that would have blown my mind because it would explain why Frieza can reach that level so easily and show that there's a new treat out there that's even stronger to him let's say Bills level strong. They would have gotten a 10 is that did something like that but like I said Dragonball as far as story usually doesn't go that deep, the deepest it's ever gotten imo is the whole Future Trunks thing but I digress (sorry had to throw this out there). Anyway that's my review it's a 9 have a great day.

-A love letter from Akira Toriyama-

_Resurrection ‘F’_ is the film the _Dragon Ball_ fandom has been waiting for. Taking place after 2013’s _Battle of Gods_, this film has all of the action and mayhem that the franchise is known for. In a first for the series, the film has an underlying focus on Goku and Vegeta's character flaws rather than simply becoming stronger and beating the bad guy.

Toriyama stated that the film would be “utterly hilarious” and he wasn’t lying. This is the most fun I’ve had watching something in the series for a very long time. Combined with an amazing fight that spans over read more

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F or "Fukkatsu no Effu" is the next movie Akira Toriyama has put out in the franchise to continue the canon since we got "Battle of Gods" last year and let me just say now it's great. It is currently (August 4th - 12th) in limited release in the U.S and I HIGHLY recommend you see it in theaters while it's out if you're a fan of the series....I mean wow, the atmosphere in the theater was simply intoxicating. You're surrounded by long time fans of the show which is something that enhanced the experience for me all around. It made the jokes funnier, and people's reactions to the "holy shit!" Moments just made them so much better. Funimation even made a Pre-Show for us to watch instead of trailers, which was funny and entertaining, only making me want to watch the movie even more. Now onto the movie. Ressurection of F is presented beautifully. The 90's style is still captured in the impeccable animation. Characters from Piccolo to Frieza himself look amazing. And the fight scenes are simply flawless. Movements are fluent and look great, and seeing our heroes use their unique abilities is eye candy. From the opening title sequence to the final fight between Goku and Frieza everything was handled perfectly. However the score took a back seat some of the time. The music that was put into the spotlight was awesome, but fights throughout the film were not enhanced by the soundtrack. The music was either absent or very muffled in contrast to the epic battles that took place. The story is pretty straight forward as well, which is a low point of the film because Battle of Gods had a better story, so here it seems like plot wise, Akira may have taken a small step back. The story is not anywhere close to "average" though...it's a solid "good" from me. Fans of the series will know what they're getting in terms of plot, it won't impress anyone, but it doesn't at all ditract from how good this film is either. It's an easy to follow story which brings back a fan favorite character that we all love, and delivers an epic final fight. Watching Goku and Vegeta's banter is always great, and character interaction is handled so well, partially because of how commited these voice actors are to their roles. There were hilarious moments as well as awesome fights with supporting characters like Tien and Krillin, which is great because we see them do much more here than we saw in Battle of Gods...However seeing Gohan not step up was disappointing. Akira did such a good job at telling a simple story with plenty of action, as well as adding some unexpected "WTF" moments that shocked myself and the audience...how can you not like that? Overall, while the story may not be as good as last time around, Resurrection F makes up for that in much better battles this time around. And though the story was not AS good, it was still very very solid storytelling and I can't flaw Akira for wanting to tell a straight forward story for the fans. I enjoyed the hell out of this movie and I can say the exact same thing for any fans of the show. Please do yourself a favor and see this thing in theaters. 9/10

If you enjoyed my review give me a thumbs up! Thanks (:
