I'll tell you why so serious

Great Film overall

Crappy film

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Such lazy imagination, this was the most hyped Dragon Ball movie ever and all we got was some B rate story to lure kids to join the fandom and on the way making money by selling toys. The only thing that was good about it was the opportunity to show more details about Frieza's Army and the Animation.Here are my thoughts about this movie from my blog (no need to Copy+Paste it all here): The major issue I had was with the casting: how on Earth did Toriyama suddenly placed the weak pervert, Master Roshi, above Yamcha & Chiaotzu? Why Goten and Trunks didn't made an appearance? http://nivlugassiarts.blogspot.co.il/2016/08/ Search for the Yamcha & Chiaotzu post.Another issue that I have was why hyping Tagoma so much on the poster if he was going to die 10 minutes into the film? What about Frieza's ridiculous power boost by just training for 4 months? So he could have taken Majin Buu, whom he used to fear all his life, so pathetically easy if he'd just shoot holes through Zarbon or punching Dodoria for 4 months straight? What a lame excuse for rehashing a character, I'd rather having a new character/villain introduced to the franchise - who was always this crazy level strong - over Frieza every few pieces of the franchise.http://nivlugassiarts.blogspot.co.il/2016/12/my-suggestions-to-how- resurrection-f

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F', the newest theatrical release from the popular anime series Dragon Ball Z, is one film that fans of the series must watch. Once again Goku is called to defend the Earth. However, Goku's enemy this time is an old foe risen from the grave, Frieza. Can Goku defeat an evil resurrected? With a returning voice acting cast from Battle Of Gods, Akira Toriyama's own personal supervision and a talented animation crew, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' does justice in delivering fast paced action. What fan doesn't want to see Goku beat up on an evil villain? However,while scenes with action excel, the scenes where no action takes place are lackluster.Resurrection 'F' picks up a few months after the events from Battle Of Gods, where the Earth is found safe after Lord Beerus decides to spare the Earth from destruction. But typical of the series, there is always a calm before the storm. The remnants of Frieza's army enact their plan to resurrect Frieza using the power of the Dragon Balls. With their plan a success, Frieza plots to take his revenge against Goku and his friends. The animation for the film was well done and had an attention to detail.The animation style shown is better than what normal television cartoons show. When it came to the animation, Toei Animation Studio was chosen for their past work on previous films for the Dragon Ball Z series. Detail was put extensively on body and facial features of each character. Scars and battle wounds received from fights didn't disappear but were held constant throughout. In addition, Toei Animation used CGI during some of the most intense fight scenes. The purpose of the CGI was to highlight each punch and kick thrown, instead of the usual blurred lines that convey intense movement.Along with great animation, the English voice acting in Resurrection 'F' should be praised. Resurrection 'F' has the returning English voice cast of 2014's Battle Of Gods with the addition of Christopher Ayres being cast as the voice of Frieza. While the entire voice cast's performance was phenomenal, special praise should be given to Ayres. Being called to play one of the most notorious villains of Dragon Ball Z must bring with it extreme pressure, but Ayres delivers in his performance of Frieza. Despite having great action and voice acting, there's a lack of tension during any scenes that didn't involve any fighting. It seems like the dialogue between characters was more light-hearted than anything serious. There are only a handful of times outside of any physical conflict, where any real tension is felt. The entire film just seems focused on fighting. In other words, Resurrection 'F' seems to made as a fan service for those that just enjoy fight sequences.It may be appealing to fans to watch Goku battle it out once again against Frieza, but Resurrection 'F' lacks any meaningful punch once the dust settles. For all intents and purposes the fighting and action is some of the best to come from the Dragon Ball Z series. It should be on any fans must watch list. At the same time though, Resurrection 'F' doesn't seem to lead the series as a whole in any direction. I wonder what it is that Toriyama has planned for Dragon Ball. We'll just have to wait and see.

After all this time, it was finally time to watch the new, long expected, DBZ movie. I had my hopes up, until a few Z characters started dropping like flies.There's one point in the movie where Sorbet compares his strongest henchman with the likes of Zarbon and Dodoria. Then later on in the movie, Picollo gets in a fight against the devil-like guy, Sorbet was talking about. Then Piccolo needs the help of Gohan SSY 1 to win the battle. Against a guy as strong as Zarbon...After that Gohan almost dies by one hit from Frieza in his first form (without powering up). It's things like this that really grind my gears. I don't even wanna start about the whole Frieza thing getting God-like powers(!!!) just in a span of 6 months. And of course the whole 'Goku saves the day' thing.The animations are good, and some of the fight are entertaining, but this movie just feels too easy. It's a big letdown.

After being a huge fan of the Dragon Ball Z series, I naturally had to go and see the return of one of the best anime villains of all time!Unfortunately, the film has just become a huge parody of the series at large. Lots of in jokes that you'd expect to hear on a parody series like Dragon Ball Z Abridged. The series was known for having it's occasional humorous moments here and there, but this film was just too self aware for my liking.As others have also said, the inconsistencies of the fighters power levels was just plain annoying. It really wouldn't have been that difficult to get right either.They've never had much imagination when it comes to names in the Dragon Ball universe (Super Saiyan 1,2,3 etc). But I still cannot stand the idea of Super Saiyan God.I believe Dragon Ball Z should be left in the past where it belongs. These newer films are nothing but embarrassing parodies of a fantastic TV show. Gave it 3 stars because the animation was top notch.
