| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great movie. I'm so hyped for Dragon Ball Super now.  |
| Man, this was bad. If not for the presentation and the first half of the movie, I'd rate it a 4/10. The fight with Freeza's soldiers, Jaco, and the animation boost it up to 5. |
| Kuririn respect got up for me after his cellphone ringed |
 |
| Meh. 3/5 The first half was boring: too much talk and "comedy". Everything was too easy (to win, to recover, to remake...), it's a family show after all. But it was fun, it's Dragon Ball. |
| ^^ Agree. The comedy was weak and too forced, the pacing was terrible and fights underwhelming. There was never a feeling of immediate threat and it felt more of a trailer of what Super might look like than a standalone movie. Battle of Gods was pretty enjoyable, it really saddens me that this was its follow up. |
| huh? |
| Pretty good DBZ Movie, there has been better DB movies, yes, but it was ok. And now i'm very excited to see DB Super. xD |
| A true man never dies. |
| Oh God... This was... Disapointing... What the hell was Toriyama smoking, he went full GT on us, but this time... ITS CANON. The movie is fun, if we turn our brain off, and forget the logics of DB/DBZ, as a fan this was a huge let down, and lots hope to the new series. |
 |
| So what's this dragonball Super thing? |
| So there still no subs somewhere? (I mean there should even be dubbed version now right?) |
 |
| Yo so i finally got to check this out subtitled yesterday - it was awesome. Sure it could have been a lot better, but even so it was entertaining all the way through, good actions sequences and humour, overall the narrative was kept short and to the point for the hour and a half time scale: Frieza is revived, causes mayhem, Goku shows up and they fight for the second time. People seem to be complaining about lack of development for Frieza, but realistically what would it gain? We all know where Frieza is going by the end of it so why waste time explaining how he got so powerful when he can (and did) simply mention that he trained for 6 months. We don't need to see it. He's one dimensional - a prodigy who has nothing but anger and a vendetta against Goku. Definetly check this out if your fan of the Dragonball Series. 7/10. |

| That was pretty good but Vegeta didn't have much time to fight.Jaco is a great funny character and i think he is from another manga of Toriyama-sensei.Anyway it was fun to watch this and Krillin mobile phone song is One Piece imao. |

Well, krillin and ruffy do have the same voice, so maybe it was just a little easter egg (is that the right expression?) for those who watch one piece as well xDxD Mod Edit: Removed request of links |

| Whis is training Goku and Vegeta in exchange for pizza lol im glad the Z Fighters are being badasses beating the army of Freeza, its always nice to see them fight again for real the magic beans is really useful in this movie lol Bulma is one hot MILF in this movie too Freeza destroying the earth is great, i mean the visuals of the destruction of the earth is beautiful lol Whis has time travelling powers though so the earths destruction was reversed RIP for the second time Freeza overall very good movie but the fighting scenes could have been better though |
| I enjoyed it but these movies still really bug me. Dragonball hasn't exactly got much to mess up, but they could try a bit more. Frieza really became that strong in 4 months. A bit of a stretch. What exactly brought the change in the fight to give goku the edge? Was it because Frieza's body was too new? Why did vegeta seems more powerful than goku? Why oh why do they make gohan soo weak. They remove 'mystic gohan'. And even if he has not trained, he should still be strong, but one punch in his weakest form? Just why do all these non extra dragonball stories hate gohan? I just hope Dragonball Super doe's it better... But for what it is, mindless action it was good, I love frieza as a villain, even if his power was questionable. Also I love the new ss god form :P. j0x said: RIP for the second time Freeza Technically the 3rd, if you count gt as gohan 1 hit him, which is ironic how it was the opposite here.. Plus the movies he may have died i forget. |

| If I had one word to describe Resurrection of F, it would be "casual". Despite Frieza turning up with a new stronger form that can very briefly match Goku's Super Saiyan God, the movie doesn't really carry any stakes. The movie manages to keep the more laid-back tone of Battle of Gods in, by all means should be a far more serious circumstance. To be honest, the final fight in Battle of Gods both had a lot more weight & a lot more at stake than this film did, at least by how the films presented the situation. Which basically amounted to Goku & Vegeta not taking Frieza as a serious threat, at all in direct contrast to how they perceived Beerus. Maybe Goku should've though, considering he's capable of being defeated by a "common ray gun" which doesn't seem right to me but as Viriathus pointed out above, Piccolo struggled against someone stated to be at Zarbon's level, it's not the worst example of under-powering a character. The Goku moment actually works well enough for the plot, the Piccolo moment is just bothersome. Though I shall admit, I did not pick this up during the film, I had completely forgotten about that comment. Anyway, their reaction to Frieza wasn't conducive to putting any real concern into the viewers, which does help Frieza's last ditch planet busting plan be more of a surprise (granted, I was spoiled on it when I checked a battle thread between the Four Heavenly Kings from Toriko against Androids 16-18, I don't think their should've been a spoiler for that in there but regardless). To be honest, I like this movie less the more I think about it which isn't a good sign. The plot is bare bones & inconsequential. It's more self-aware than serious which personally, is a detriment here than a positive like it was in Battle of Gods. Character-wise does seem to have some inconsistencies power-wise but at least in terms of scale it's somewhat more accurate. As disappointed as I am about how far Gohan has fallen I did appreciate Frieza's comment about how he could wipe out a thousand soldiers effortlessly if he wanted to, or how Roshi struggled the most out of everyone to the point where he needed to be helped by Krillin (though again, Roshi did way too well here). Personally, all the sequences with the fodder, I could've done with them being trimmed. As much as I like seeing the non-Saiyans & half-Saiyan doing something, I felt they went on too long & again, lacked any weight. Outside of that, I enjoyed catching up with these characters, Frieza especially was really fun but the attention on fighting definitely cut into the time. Visually, the movie is a alright. It clearly saved the big guns for the main event as prior we get some TV quality animation & throughout the entire movie, we're treated to CGI which quite frankly, with one exception (the planet blowing up, that looked amazing) is ugly. It's sad how present that is in contrast to Battle of Gods which I believe only used it once or twice. On the other hand, minus the god awful credits song, the music in Resurrection of F is probably much better than it was in Battle of Gods (the only improvement at all). I loved Maximum the Hormone's "F" song long before Akira Toriyama decided to make a movie based on it. And just so everyone's clear, this movie was in fact inspired by the song. Truth be told, the only thing that really saved this were some good animation during the ending fight (though, truth be told, I don't remember a ton about it already and I saw it yesterday) & some good jokes rooted in the characters we care about. The movie was nowhere near as funny as Battle of Gods but it provided a good share of laughs, Android 18 calling her husband cool being the funniest moment for me personally. It made the experience more entertaining than most of the Dragon Ball Z movies of the past, with only a few exceptions. 6/10. I'm sorry if I didn't sound that comprehensive or I didn't articulate my feelings well. I'm tired & my head hurts. I probably shouldn't have written this down so quickly in this position but like I said, I dislike it the more I think about it so I wanted to purge out my thoughts and be down thinking about it quickly. |

| It is casual. Consistency is ditched in favor of a lazily done plot slapped together to make a quick buck by appealing to nostalgia through fanservice. If you turn your brain off, you can enjoy it sure, but even if you know anything about good writing and go into it even with an open mind, you'll end up with a bitter taste in your mouth. It's bad from a writing standpoint, it's the animation and soundtrack that pushes it up to mediocrity, along with Jaco and the pandering to Roshi and Freeza fans (even if Freeza was ridiculed in the film) that I have to admit I enjoyed. |
| Not the most hardcore DBZ fan but I didn't care for it. Goku somehow miraculously can achieve his next Super Saiyan form out of nowhere? Somehow can push Golden Frieza's shit in but Goku almost gets killed by a laser beam? Obviously they got a time constraint but felt like there was no build up to SSGSS or Golden Frieza? Goku's just like "Hey, look what I got!" then Frieza ends up like 'Well, I got one of those too!" and then they just duke it out. It was an okay movie just wish it had more build up and less asspulls. |
| People that complain about the plot of a DBZ movie make me laugh. I thought this was a decent DBZ movie, there was a lot of action that I felt was missing in Battle of the Gods. I especially appreciated that the other Z Fighters got to join in to help too. They actually helped this time, instead of just being defeated. The English dub was great too, no complaints there but this movie is not perfect. Here are my issues with the film. First, the transformations were so very underwhelming. The scenes that use 3D were very noticeable, it was distracting. Also how is it that Goku is defeated by a common laser? When he took a direct hit from Frieza's finger lazer attack in the series when he was Super Saiyan like it was nothing. I feel like Vegeta was robbed of his victory too. They also pulled a deus ex machina at the end which I found distasteful. Despite these things I enjoyed it for what it is, a Dragon Ball Z movie. |

| Havent seen any dragonball in a long time but this felt terribly paced, written, and animated. That ending "twist" was so disgustingly obviously telegraphed so early on i actually felt insulted that they would try to make me feel like there was any kind of threat. overall my recommendation would be watch it only if you're a big dragonball fan, for the casual viewer it is absolutely not worth the watch. |
| This movie was absolutely glorious. I can't say more. |
 |
| Surprised at the harsh reception. Sure, some of the power levels were wonky, and the animation wasn't perfect, but it was great seeing the characters again, and Toriyama writing guaranteed that they'd all be in character. I loved most of the humor, Frieza was hardcore, the fights were cool (glad that even Krillin and Roshi had time to shine), and while we were cheated out of it, nice that Vegeta finally avenged his race. Wait, Beerus is the one who let Frieza blow up Vegeta's planet? Welp... Beerus and Whis are fun, but almost annoyingly OP, lol. But yeah, enjoyed it. Glad to hear it's doing so well in America. 4/5 |

| Overall I enjoyed the film, being in theaters probably heightened the experience but man did I have a lot of problems with this movie, the two big ones being the awkward CGI and the massive dump it took all over Gohan. |
| Just went to see the dub with my friends! Aside from some awkward CGI here and there it was still a great movie overall, probably my second favorite after Legendary SSJ. Great job by Funi too as always. The dub's freaking awesome :) |
linkjoker said: and the massive dump it took all over Gohan. why? Gohan did not train as hard as Goku and Vegeta anyway for a long time now so of course his gonna get left behind in terms of growth/power, and Freeza mentioned in this movie that if Gohan did not try to save his soldiers from dying then Gohan can instantly kill all the Freeza soldiers said by Freeza himself |
j0x said: The thing is, even if his intention was never to kill them, he could've almost as easily knocked them out. If he powered-up at from jump street, he could've speed blitzed half of them in an instant w/o killing anyone. Fact is, they really nerfed his powers; Frieza's explanation doesn't really cut it b/c in the beginning of the Buu arc, Gohan wasn't training, he was just dealing with two-bit criminals but as evident in the WMAT and against Dabura, if he really tried -- albeit his intention wasn't to kill -- he would've dealt with all 1000 easily.linkjoker said: and the massive dump it took all over Gohan. why?

| Okay...... this movie is bad. Pointless plot and fights. Many plot holes and blue hair are disgusting. Random laser defeated Goku with blue hair........ People wanted new movie and they got garbage. Fans should let die this series but NO you wanted new movie and Toei also......... I hope that you are proud of yourself. 1/5 4/10 |
| That was pretty bad. |
 |
| I just can't get over the common laser gun throwing Goku into that state as he's surging with that much power. Like, what...? I went to see the movie with someone who knew nothing about DBZ, and the stuff which didn't really require knowledge of DBZ straight up made them tilt their heads. Oh gosh, the going back in time bit must have seemed so juvenile to them; that's just something people just don't do anymore unless it's a main aspect of the story. This was not just head tilting for casuals but for fans too. Also, the amount of CG was just a little embarrassing. It was very obvious and out there, and I think the inconsistency made folks who weren't really into anime think, "Is this what anime is about? Is this how all anime is? What the heck am I watching?" Knowing that this is one of the highest grossing anime films right now, knowing that this is going to be a bunch of people's first look into anime or one of the anime that people are going to judge anime as a whole by; well, I'm just a little upset about that. Loved the voice acting-- I've been watching DB Super and it's just so refreshing to hear all the English voices I'm used to. And they do a good job of it! Can't remember even one awkwardly delivered line. Love it. I have nothing against the original Japanese voices and they do a wonderful job as well, but I think people are partial to what they grow up with. Despite any baw bits, the movie was enjoyable even if it was just for people in the theatre whispering to each other things like, "Awwww shiiiiiit! Tien!" and other cute little fan commentary. But even without the commentary, it was still enjoyable just being able to see the characters you love on screen. Severe lack of Yamcha though. |
| If you love Dragonball, you'll love the movie. Simple as that. I still have a few gripes, like how Golden Frieza wasn't as big of a threat as he should have been. The moment he was getting his ass handed to him and was pissing his pants at the sight of Beerus you knew where it was going. Still, I freakin' loved when he destroyed Earth, didn't see that shit coming.. but then I immediately knew how it was going to get fixed. Also, SSJG Goku beaten by a goddamn lazer? A freakin' Stormtrooper could have pulled that off. |
 |
| Man, Vegeta just can't catch a break. He finally had the spotlight to finish off his number one enemy but the whole time manipulation gimmick came in to give Goku a reason to be the one to do it. |
| That was a terrible movie, everything felt so off. Especially Frieza. This whole thing feels incredibly pointless, as it was only about showing us Goku's and Vegeta's new God form, and maybe some fanservice with Frieza. His golden transformation looks really bad. I agree that Battle of God was really good because it introduces Bills and Whis, and it also expands the universe of Dragon Ball, everything over there fits well, the comedy, everything! Here, it just feels very weird, albeit still funny, but weird. As I said, I feel that this movie is completely pointless, as with bringing back Frieza, and the worse thing about it is that, this is going to be canon within the Dragon Ball Super, which will be elongated to dozens of episodes. I hope that they change the plot up a bit when they reach this part in the new series. Krillin's ringtone was awesome though. It was also fun that Vegeta actually got to kick the big bad's ass instead of Goku, though it was Goku who dealt the final blow to save the world, in which I, contrary to most people, do not have qualm with. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| finally watched in dubbed. I kinda lkied the movie. Frieza old memories and some comedy in between. Well I actually didn't liked the new dragon super series. But I think they might turn around |
 |
| Alright finally found the original Japanese dub with English subs version, I guess it just got released. And I gotta say the movie was hilarious lmao, especially Frieza's lines, when he said "Everyone hail Prince Vegeta, Prince of nobody", it had me weak. Other than the comedy, rest was ok, enjoyed the fighting, even tho sometimes Goku and Frieza while clashing looked like they got c/p from a DBZ video game. And yea I agree it's somehow a pointless movie, Frieza even in his Golden form wasn't able to at least beat Goku down, but I guess they wanted to go with something else then the standard "MC gets beaten/power up comes in" style, so I'm fine with this kind of ending. I'm starting to really like Whis for some reason, especially since Toriyama confirmed he's the strongest in the universe atm, hope to see him sometimes go all out against someone. |
 |
| I really really liked the movie, its probably the best DBZ movie so far (which is not hard considering most DBZ movies are rather weak. Maybe except for the first Broly movie, which was just to short :D ) It has everything DBZ is about and the vegetaXgoku part actually makes sense considering what happened in the past. The simple comedy in the first half was rather nice, then the action starts and it got somewhat serious. (Somewhat because Beerus and Whis, but they fit in the story. Not like certain other shows where the comedy part is at the totally wrong points) Animation was good, CGI could have been better but I only noticed it like 3 seconds in total. The fanservice like Kuririns ringtone was also nice. Ofcourse since its still DBZ many things dont make much sense, but then again, this isnt our universe, so we shouldnt judge what is possible and what isnt :D (things like the supreme kais never showed up once, but since they dont know everything, its not a total fail imo) And the end was also rather good. Considering Vegeta and Goku are basically demigods now, Frieza never had a real chance to begin with. Im hyped to see the remake of this in DB Super! PS: Watched japanese dub with english sub. The voice acting was really good, normally I have a problem with the japanese voices (only in DBZ..) but here everything was fitting. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Well I'm going to say one thing from the bat and that's that this movie was epic! Really great action and the pacing was really solid, even a bit too fast if you ask me. It sure was worth the wait and the quality compared to the previous movie sure has increased as well in both story and action wise development! So all in all a great 15th movie! I really do hope they properly adaptate this movie in Dragonball Super with at least some better animation than what they're doing now :p |
 |
| Awesome movie! It was great to see the battle again with Frieza and sending him back to hell lol. 9/10 And now to wait till Dragonball Super gets dubbed... |
 |
| After the sequel hook at the end of Battle of Gods, this whole scenario just feels incredibly inconsequential. And no, Goku and Vegeta attaining a new form doesn't count since there's no explanation behind it. It would be the exact same if they'd just forgone coming up with an entirely new transformation to begin with. That and this movie had an endless parade of distracting plot holes. Way to screw up such a simple idea for a plot. |
 |
| The way they end the fight is totally lame. It would've been better if Frieza is much stronger and Goku and Vegeta actually team up to beat him but noooooo. How weak did Gohan get that Frieza owned him in his first form? I just can't..this movie is stupid. |
| Good movie but god dammit Vegeta gets his spotlight to finish Freiza stolen by Goku. |
