    Resurrection of Dragon Ball Z!

    This is the Dragon Ball Z Movie experience I always wanted. While Battle of Gods was an amazingly fun light-hearted adventure, this is the badass action-packed DBZ that we wanted since the Cell Saga.

    Goku and Vegeta have now ascended to Gods with Whis as their new master. I absolutely loved the exploration of Goku and Vegeta's character dynamics and development throughout the training scenes, with Whis not only being a physical mentor but a spiritual one as well.

    Bills provides much of the comedy in his own unique manner as one of the best new DBZ Characters ever. Speaking of new characters, I'm pleasantly surprised by Frieza's new minions, especially Sorbet as he's actually useful throughout the movie and not just fodder like the rest of Frieza's army. The invasion scene was amazing as it put the Z warriors back in the spotlight and gave the movie some much-needed tension. Especially Gohan; not since his fight with Cell has he been this badass!

    Speaking of badassery, the very definition of the word, Vegeta, finally gets his time to really shine (there are no stupid bingo scenes in this one...) - it is straight up brawls in that over-the-top fashion we all know and love delivered by the Prince of all Saiyans.

    In the end, the 15th DBZ Film featured the return of the greatest Anime villain of all time: Frieza in a Battle of Gods with the Super Saiyan God Goku. It's just classic!

    The Dragon Ball film experience I've always wanted.

    This movie is fantastic. It does almost everything right and it's one of the most entertaining animated films I've ever seen.

    Resurrection 'F' is action packed and freaking' hilarious. It perfects the mix of action and humour and creates one heck of a ride. The weaker characters finally get their moments in the spotlight and it is so good to see characters such as Roshi and Tien throw down.

    Goku and Vegeta are the stars here and this movie includes some of the best interactions between the two characters, it's great to watch. Frieza is back and he's just as awesome as you remember him. There's a reason why this guy is the best Dragon Ball villain and one of the most iconic villains of all time and you see that reason in this film.

    The animation is, hands down, the best the series has ever looked. An excellent mix of hand drawn and digital animation. Incredible use of cinematography that makes the viewer feel as if they are within the fights. It has an awesome soundtrack and includes a head- banging insert song that'll be stuck in your head for weeks.

    Watch this movie. Dragon Ball fan or not, you need to see this. It's awesome.

    A good movie if you never watched DBZ

    I am giving 5, cause I enjoyed the quality of the anime. I know practically everything about DBZ and my problem is with the the storyline, which doesn't make sense at all. Freeza could be and has been beaten in a single punch by Gohan in that old movie, where are the bad guys got resurrected and that was way before Buu saga, after which he gotextremely powerful.

    Now, Freeza comes back and he does that to Gohan??? Like seriously?? Even Krillin could beat him, let alone Piccollo, but we had this non sense. On top of that, the story is spoilt and rushed. Akira needs some really Otaku's advice to work on his storyline, fights and powers. Right now, it looks like a reboot for people who never watched the saga. Not happy Akira. Sort it out

    Talk about relentless

    Frieza, I thought I was sympathizing with him only to realize what a true joke he is to the Saiyan's seeing him up close made it simply clear that he stood no chance until the end but the final blow was utterly disappointing but how far would one go, being far from that action this ball of the dragon doesn't seem to disappoint in terms of combat I've just got to give it to them steadily handing it out to the world as the best fight they'll ever come across in anime, honestly I don't seem to tire when it's dragon ball cause the action comedy and rest element just adds up to keep you going till the end, bold heroes always persevering that only is another key element to anime that never giving up vibe even when the odds are stacked up high so high that the world itself calls you name the chosen heroes who at the end believe in themselves stand out in the end but it could go either way though that's anime baby.

    Im a little disappointed.

    So the movie was good, funny, and entertaining for the most part. Only a few inconsistencies between the show and movie. But what happened to the super amazing action sequences found in battle of the gods. They do some really amazing camera action sequences that used a combination of 2d and 3d effects. But where was any of that in this movie...No...this time, fight scenes were flat and uninteresting....Why...This was the only reason i went to see it in theaters...They even set it up so nicely with 1000 troops against a few z warriors...And that battle scene was lousy. It felt like filler. They were surrounded, and yet, they were not trying. There lives are on the line, they are losing, and still they are not even trying...The animation in these fights were also very poor...Really it just looked like a picture of gohan moving around without animating it...I was so blown away by the battle of the gods fight scenes too....sad.
