Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods

After the 13 films of "Dragon Ball" which were basically nothing but overlong episodes and second-rate TV specials, we finally get something that actually deserves the declaration as a movie.

I do not know what the creative process was and I do not know what was going on differently this time, but in any case it went really well because we do not just have a comprehensible intro we have character development besides stories all people come here, and are presented so that the "Dragon Ball fans" have this moment where they can be happy that their favorite characters are displayed correctly or that the people who have no idea about "Dragon Ball" are introduced briefly about who these characters are and where they come from come. We actually have real humor again, though not as dirty as it used to be from Dragonball but still funny and quite fun. The new concept is awesome, Lord Beerus is one of the awesome and best designs I've seen in a long time and the concept of him being a cat, no, because he's a cat, is so brilliant that you could write a book about it , This movie is clearly made for the fans or for people who are knowledgeable because although there are a few moments in it to help people who are not up to date never heard of the word "Dragon Ball" in their lives should not Start "Battle of Gods" because otherwise he is completely lost. The only thing I like not so much is that the pacing in the third act is a bit too fast, I would have extended a few moments a little more z.b. but the transformation is such a small thing that is hardly noticeable on the whole. What can I say in addition to bravo finally finally a perfectly legitimate linear story that is not too complicated, and not too stupid, instead of another faceless upper Fiesling a villain with rough edges and a real personality, again right humor unfortunately In "Dragonball Z" has come too short comma in addition to stories and character development which has actually influence on further history and even fierce continuity.

PS: It is unbelievable what the entertainers have done here, of course it is nice to see two-dimensional animation again but this is even better than what I expected the fights are so fluid we even have a little bit of computer animation and everything here and there so seamless about the animations are just for kisses and the fighting is to kneel down.

Ce film nous permet d'élargir le lore de l'Univers Dragon Ball, allant plus loin que le niveau que l'on connaissait tant sur le plan de la puissance que sur le plan de la hiérarchie des divinités. Il est une excellente introduction à ce que deviendra la suite de Dragon Ball, à savoir, Dragon Ball Super.

After having seen so many DBZ movies i wasn't expecting much out of it.

Nevertheless, as an adult hardcore fan of the Anime than rocked my youth, i feel compelled to watch every single one.

And i am glad that i did.

Most of previous movies didn't made a lot of sense to me. My main problem was in the fact that chronologically things didn't had up or where confusing. And this only made think that they were making movies just to profit of it.

Regardless of that, this time, i felt the history well placed and full of meaning. Some light facts were also revealed from older Sayan history.

The plot was indeed interesting and was not only about some lost Sayan coming to earth looking for a fight.

I used to criticize the pace of the history on other movies. They usually go to fast and we are often taken from peace time to world destruction warning in 5 minutes.

This time, even if the length of the movie does not allow a deeper build to the history, the transition a lot more smooth.

I'll give it a 9 because is probably the best movie ever from the DBZ saga. I only disliked the fact that, like almost every sequel from any genre, they felt compelled to give us a glimpse of almost every character in DBZ saga.

Even the most irrelevant living being had to show up. In my opinion this is utter useless and transforms a legit story in some kind of parody.

Anyway, it's definitely a great addition for DBZ fans. If you are too young to have followed DB or have been living in Jupiter's moon for the last 20 years and do not know the saga, this is not for you.

Otherwise enjoy the show!!

I went into this movie not expecting much. I was a huge fan of the cartoon growing up, but it'd been so long I had no clue what I was getting myself into at the theater yesterday. I went with my youngest brother who inherited my DBZ VHS tapes so many years ago.

I really don't even know where to start with the things I loved in this movie. They showed you pretty much everything in the Z Universe in the span of 1 hr 30 minutes. It honestly felt like I got to catch up with friends I haven't seen in over 10 years, totally bizarre but lovable, quirky friends. This movie floored me.

The thing I love most about DBZ is that on the surface its an anime for bros, but underneath its deep, introspective, and full of symbols. The show is brimming with positivity and heart and sets incredible examples for any child growing up in the world.

When there is a fight and it's seemingly dragging on forever, the show is encouraging the viewer to think deeply. Goku, although daft and possibly insane, always makes the right decision in the end. Most times, his enemies become his allies, out of shear respect for the person he is, regardless of his power. On the surface there is nothing subtle about DBZ, but underneath there is a blueprint for life. Battle of the Gods captured that perfectly.

One thing I really liked about this movie was it was very self aware. You saw many regular people's reactions to what they would be thinking if the Z fighters really existed (mostly befuddlement), plus there were 4th wall breaking aspects littered throughout, which I always appreciate.

Yes, this movie was total fanfare, but still the most heartwarming movie experience I've had in a long time. I'm honored to have been able to see this film on the big screen, even if the sound wasn't made for that venue.

Loved it, just wish Gohan had put up more of a fight against Beerus, as he was the most powerful fighter at the end of Z and my favorite character. He definitely had his moments though in the film. I don't want to spoil anything.

10/10; I was a true fan of the DBZ cartoon and this movie made my week. Toriyama still knows what he's doing!

This movie isn't about plot, if you start to watch it hoping for a good plot you better stop here. This is a trip, a trip in the past, we see almost everyone of the Z-fighters here. The movie is actually funny and Bill isn't a villain, he is simply e bored god, so don't expect majin buu bada*s character here. However the movie ends will an explanation from bill which leaves the DB adventures yet to continue or at least I hope so...

In few words if you are a fan and watched everything that came out in from this series you will love what this movie offers, otherwise it will seem just a plot less movie!
