| I already saw this movie sub like almost a year ago. today saw it again but in theaters. my god, the dub made me loved the movie so much more and laughed than I did on sub. well fucking worth watching in theaters and so happy with the dub |
| One of the best theater experiences I've had, I'm so happy I was able to go with my brother. The theater was the liveliest I've ever seen it (and probably ever will, I swear the fans are just that kooky), and everyone just had a great time. The humor was superb, delivering the laughs as intended. The action was still awesome to see, especially the climatic battle. Beerus was a great character, I enjoyed him immensely. The movie's just beautiful to look at, it was such a thrill. I understand there's issues with the movie (albeit some are nitpicky, but understandable), but that didn't kill the enjoyment. It was still a fun ride. Thank Kami the movie got a nationwide release for this week because hardly anything of value comes here. |
  |
| It was a humorous movie but not as enjoyable as I had expected. The ending felt quite anticlimatic. Though since I'm not a big DBZ fan there are probably elements I'm not understanding nor care to understand. |
| Just finished watching it in theaters, and the movie was pretty funny, I was expecting things to be more serious, but I found it enjoyable. I like Beerus though, he's an awesome guy, it surprised me that Goku couldn't defeat him, but I give him respect for not going through with destroying the planet. The theater was packed though, didn't think so many people in my area would love DBZ so much xD |
| Best Dragon Ball movie excluding the Trunks and Bardock specials by far. Beerus is one of the more interesting characters and antagonists in Dragon Ball history, even including the canon ones. |
| Nostalgia, yeah.. thats the right word. Since I haven't watched anything related to Dragon Ball for past 10 years or maybe more.. I must say it felt really good to be back as I was a huge DB fan back in the day. Surprisingly the movie was quite awesome! |
| I don't know why I haven't posted in here yet. I've seen the movie three times, the first two times subbed & the last time, in theaters dubbed. Needless to say, the last time was by far the most enjoyable. In fact, it was by far the funnest movie going experience I've ever had. First off, Dragon Ball Z, like many others, was *the* show of my childhood and it's been a dream of mine for I don't know how long to see DBZ in theaters. To finally accomplish that with my favorite movie in the franchise, was easily a dream come true. Anyway, the movie's hilarious & the action sequence at the end was amazing. & seeing it in the theaters with a bunch of people who are invested in the series, just really enhances. For example, when Vegeta started kicking Beerus's ass for awhile after he slapped Bulma, Vegeta practically got a standing ovation. I mean, I don't think anyone stood up because that'd be rude (I sat front row, so someone could've) but there was a lot of clapping and cheering. It was a fantastic nostalgia trip and I definitely wouldn't have worked nearly as well for me had I not grown up with the series but so what? The movie was made for people like e & it excelled at pretty much everything it was aiming for, great, great film. Okay, SSJ God is a little bullshit but I thought it worked well enough in the confines of the movie. |

| The wait for the english dub was damn worth it, so much nostalgia! 9/10 |
 |
| Oh my gosh, finally got around to seeing this. There were so many moments where my reaction was "WTF?!" or "Bullsh*t!" Still, the fight scenes were good, even if they were a little hard to believe (No property damage at all? Goku "learned" SS God? How is he breathing in space?). 8/10, just like the rest of the DBZ media. |
 |
| -A God was going to destroy the Earth for the pudding Didn't see that coming haha -Vegeta's performance is so hilarious LOL -"You hit my Bulma!" --> Can't get enough of this XD -Vegeta surpassed Goku Wow, just wow lol -Super Saiyan God is awesome. |
  |
| Vegeta dancing is epic! "You hit my Bulma!" |
| @Terrestrious I know exactly what you mean! The experience was unlike any other cinema experience. When Goku came after Bill beat the Z Fighters, 3/4s of the room were cheering & clapping. The entire time was just awesome. |
 |
| Just watched it. I absolutely adored the movie. Some have stated that Battle of Gods is a step back in terms of seriousness and went to its goofy/comedic style, but I found it to be refreshing. The best parts of Dragonball was to me its gags, humour, the sense of hope and friendship. I really enjoyed the appearance of Emperor Pilaf, Shu and Mai, as I have watched the original Dragonball. It was really nostalgic to see them again and it was cute to see Mai and Trunks at the end. I have a soft spot for shippings. But what I loved most was Beerus and Whis. Hands down the best characters and I'm glad they are back in Return of F. I honestly can't wait to see what role they play next. |
| I love Dragon ball Z. |
 |
| Really enjoyed this movie. I'm glad it wasn't overwhelmingly fight centric. The slice-of-life/banter moments during Bulma's birthday were a load of fun, and seeing Vegeta's rage over Bulma getting slapped was incredible <3 Such a manly man <333333 8/10 |
| That was amazing, Like even better then what I thought it was going to be and Beerus was an awesome antagonist, Hopefully hes a recurring character in this lost decade material. |
| Hehe well this was fun. We got out usual dbz power ups and for once the heroes lost :V I didn't expect that. Vegeta going kinda out of character doesn't fit well with me but hey.. It's been some time now I guess I might just be overreacting. Overall I would say this movie is nothing amazing but well it's a must for every dbz fan out there that much is for sure xD |
 |
| So charming, the db universe know how to retain its charms. And trunks having a gf is just too adorable. |
| Comedy wise it was really good. Had the original Dragon Ball vibe, but, everything else was just not so good. Animation was good and the CGI suits the action scenes really well, but I'm not digging the new artstyle/colors/drawings. 6/10 to this one. Nothing to get excited for. If the new series is like that I see myself not liking it. |
| Well, I finally got around to watching this and for the most part I really enjoyed it. My only real complaint is that there wasn't really all that much fighting for a DBZ film, just way too much screen time wasted on certain things imo. Like the Pilaf gang for instance, a quick cameo would have been fine, but the amount of screen time they took up was just silly. Oh, and I just have to say LOL @ Vegeta in this movie, the whole stage scene was probably the funniest yet weirdest thing Ive ever seen, amazing. I never thought Id see the prince of all sayains doing anything quite like that, lmao. Also, as a huge Vegeta fan, his rage moment against Beerus was definitely my favorite part of the movie. But yeah, it was nice to see Goku and everyone else back after all these years, much nostalgia <3. I'll be looking forward to watching the next film once its been dubbed. 8/10 |
 |
| Wow. I'm pleasantly surprised. That hour and a half went by so quickly that I had to check the movie's length online; I swear it was under 40 minutes The only thing I didn't like was the occasional use of nasty-ass CGI Also, Videl looked 10x hotter than she did in the show. Just slayin' |
| I really enjoyed it! Beerus might be my new favorite DB villain. He's just so cute and badass! It took a bit too long getting to the main fight though, and I thought that whole sequence with Emperor Pilaf and his minions was boring, and just made the wait longer. Also, Super Saiyan God was kinda anticlimatic, although I did like the design. And the epic fight that followed made you not even care anymore. So, overall, great movie,and I can't wait to see Beerus show up more in Super! |

| It gained me when an unborn girl made difference in a fight to protect the Earth and humanity. |
| This was disappointing. After all the hype, I expected something better than a plot that could be summed up in one sentence and pointless filler humour that wasn't even funny. 6/10 |
 |
GToast said: Well, since he said Whis is stronger than him, it only makes sense that Whis is the strongest guy he's fought.So when Beerus in the said Goku was the 2nd strongest he ever fought - was he talking about Whis being Number 1 or did i misunderstand that? |
|
| Dat nostalgia! Forgot how much I love this series and it's characters :) Beerus was an awesome character. He's so damn funny! That wasabi scene at the end was gold XD Vegeta going full on tsundere was also great to see. Gotta love that dance. Goku vs Beerus was great. Loved that OST that played when he went super sayain! Also liked his personal thoughts on attaining the god form. The sayain race really do have a very strong sense of pride. Also the scene with Videl was really nice Overall really enjoyed this movie 8/10 |

| after marathoning from the original DB to GT i finally get to see battle of gods this is the best movie out all the dbz movies imo the only thing i hate is how they made a joke out of vegeta while it was funny to see vegeta dance and persuade beerus not to destroy earth it hurt he's character alot oh well 9/10 |
Lazyotk said: No it didn't, it showed how much he's grown as a character -- that was the whole point of Goku & Beerus mentioning him in their conversation. Have you forgetting his 'Final Atonement'? That moment showed us that Vegeta cares for his family; four years later after fighting to save the universe from Buu, it's only natural for him to care about saving Earth. Sure the antics were embarrassing for him, but the meaning behind it developed him even further.after marathoning from the original DB to GT i finally get to see battle of gods this is the best movie out all the dbz movies imo the only thing i hate is how they made a joke out of vegeta while it was funny to see vegeta dance and persuade beerus not to destroy earth it hurt he's character alot oh well 9/10 |

bigeaze said: You do understand that there's a difference between desiring help from others in order to do something, which is simply using a one-time power that is not yours and not something you can use and it's simply for that one move, and attaining a power that is yours and you yourself use as it is a power-increase, right? If you still don't understand, I guess I can dumb it down: the Spirit Bomb is a technique that uses power of others that Goku can not use for himself and can only use for the Spirit Bomb; whereas SSG is a power-increase for Goku himself and something that he can do whatever the fuck he wants with. Furthermore, your gripe with him seeking Fusion is also unwarranted as Fusion power-up is something that he does not take full credit of, it is him merging with another and not him absorbing another, thus becoming stronger not because he uses someone else's power but because he combines with someone else's power. So Goku wasn't happy that he acquired his god powers only by getting help from others? That's funny. Could've sworn Goku had relied on, even begged, people to give him energy to defeat opponents in the past. Pretty sure he desperately wanted to fuse with Vegeta to defeat Buu, too. He didn't seem to have any misgivings about doing that, as whatever was at stake took precedence over Goku's pride, which was never really a prominent character trait of Goku's... But wasn't Buu also from outer space and many multitudes more powerful than Frieza? Why did Beerus not even recognize the guy who wouldn't give him pudding? Because the Buu that terrorized the universe destroying it and the Buu that declined him of a pudding cup look entirely different. The Buu -- the real Buu -- that was going around destroying shit since time immemorial, was Kid Buu; the Buu that Beerus encountered in BoG was a much weaker fat fuck. Furthermore, just as Beerus goes on perennial slumbers, so did Kid Buu, which indicates to us either three things: A)Beerus knew about Kid Buu and decided to sleep even longer as Buu would be doing his job for him, or B)Coincidentally, when one was asleep the other was awake, or C)Beerus was not a God during Buu's time (it's evident near the end of this movie that you may not need to be born a God of Destruction like Kais are born Kais, since Beerus offered Goku his spot one day, therefore it's safe to assume the possibility of Beerus acceding that title). And before you ask why he couldn't know about Fat Buu, remember that when Kid Buu absorbed GSK and became fat, Buu was immediately sealed after the fact.Of course, you can put it down to a lapse in memory, which is an established character trait of Beerus, and understandable given how more powerful than Buu he is, bu then what was it about Frieza that made him worthy of being acknowledged when the series has established that Buu was stronger. A spider can destroy an ant in an instant, yet we can step on that very spider with as much effort as we do for the ant -- Beerus is us, the spider is Buu and Frieza is the ant. As for why Beerus commended the victory over Frieza and not even dignify Buu's existence, it's simply because Beerus & Frieza had a relationship, we are even told they got along well (or because, like you said, he forgot). So it's understandable for him to remark the defeat of an associate than a random. Again, the answer is evidently that Toriyama just doesn't care for those story arcs but does like Frieza, but it does make for pretty awkward viewing all the same. Evidently not because in RoF Buu's legacy was acknowledged when Frieza was revived, because his subordinate informed him that Goku beat Buu, to which Frieza replied “Papa told me never to lay a hand on only two people: God of Destruction Beerus, and Majin Buu." |

| I really like how Vegeta snapped.. Fum seeing different side of him. Epic movie |
 |
| Wtf was that ? Really not the DBZ I remember watching as a kid. Vegeta was the only good thing about it. The whole world was in danger of being completely destroyed... Sure didn't fucking feel like it. Absolutely terrible story telling. Fuck this movie. 4/10. |

| Why the hell is Pilaf and gang kids. That happened in GT didn't it and this show seemed before GT. Also the enemy not just being another evil crazy they just had to win was good but the fight in the end seemed like a computer game a little too much and Goku pulled another asspull from his ass in the end there where he went God mode after he lost it. MagicFlier said: Videl made the movie better :| They made her uglier with that stupid haircut. She looked awesome with her boy hair in the Buu saga. |
Ken_of_Hokuto said: haha seriously, funny shit.That scene with Sheng Long pretty much just shitting his pants is not funny, it's disrespectful. Vegeta dancing and singing, being an all-around ass kisser made my heart cry. |
| The Kaioshin's sense something. Goku training in his Jordan gear. Beerus and Whis. Beerus wiped out the dinosaurs. lol lol at Beerus saying that's the length of a TV anime episode. Bulma birthday. lol at Kame Sennin asking for X-rated dvds. Beerus has arrived. Goku is a big baka. Goku gets knocked the fuck out. Vegeta. Dat flashback. lol at Beerus break dancing. Pilaf and co. as kids. Trunks finds Pilaf and co. lol at Pilaf and co. getting scared of Goten because he looks like Goku. lol at Trunks lying about havinga girlfriend. lol at Mai saying she's 41. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Felt like the whole thing was on fast forward. |
 |
| Really enjoyed the movie, actually more than I anticipated. You don't see Goku givin' up many times. Do you? Beerus was great as well. Also, Loved Vegeta. |
 |
| Rewatching it in English dub this time to start watching Super. Beerus' cat like features and struggling to wake up was funny. Lmao, Vegeta's desperate dance was too good! Gotta say that I enjoyed it a lot more with the dub as that's why I was used to. Even enjoyed it enough to go from an 8 to a 9/10. Now for Resurrection F and Super ^^ |
