Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'

This is, by far, the best dragonball z film to date. Is it better than Cell games, or some of the heated battles or really messed up serious moments? No, but it is pretty excellent."Ressurection F" may come off like any other DBZ movie: oh look, a villain is coming, we gotta stop him, fight, roll credits. Well, they went above and beyond to insure there would be more to this. Warning-tons of spoilers ahead.This movie starts off with the premise that Freiza being resurrected has been a goal for a while, but tracking down a safe place to get dragon balls has been difficult. So they take the risk, and they succeed. It is revealed, Freiza never trained for a single day a bit later on, and this comes as no surprise. Before that, we are shown a army and in addition, some humor with Emperor Pilaf making things all too easy. A rather disturbing scene of a "not completly together" Freiza follows, and I will say, to anime fans who watch shows like "Deadman Wonderland, "Claymore," etc, it may not seem so disturbing. But maybe it will. No worries, technology has advanced, and Freize is reassembled, no mechanics this time either.Revealing what Freiza's "Hell" was like was both hilarious and messed up. Not that he deserves better, but it's still like "yep."When Freiza decides to go back to earth with an army of 1,000, some great action and character fights follow.This is where a lot of complaints have come from, as many say it is ridiculous who is there and who is not, and also that Gohan is again basically sidelined. It's not untrue. For one, Krillin brings Master Roshi, but Tien doesn't bring Chaotsu or Yamcha? They were light-years beyond Master Roshi's strength. So that made no sense. That being said, they do a good job of making it obvious Master Roshi isn't keeping up, Krillin coming to his aid at some point, and on top of that, Gohan saves Krillin, and eventually Piccolo from Freiza's current most powerful fighter. Freize specifically points out that Gohan is not going full max (even with still being "out of the game"-no training), as he doesn't wish to kill, or the entire army would've been gone in seconds. Gohan would do that, he is not evil, he's not even Vegeta obviously.After this Goku and Vegeta (along with Beerus who humorously freaks out Freiza later and Wees) show up, and the "real battle" begins. For a rematch of what I believe is still the longest anime fight of all the time (30+ episodes was it), it was extremely well done. The Super Saiyan god form goes blue, Freiza mocks it as hair-dye, and Freiza goes golden. His colors alter as does multiple areas of his body: this is not just "Freiza is golden" as many like to say. Also, as far as a super saiyan form, i am not sure where fans wanted them to go after super long haired 3. Did they want them to have hair creepingly long and able to attack/choke people like say, Sailor Moon's "Mistress 9?"A cheap shot was also a big area of fans outcry. I think everyone who was so angered about the shot at Goku taking him down should go back and watch the series again. Krillin throws a rock and hurts Goku, and he also hurts his foot on a rock later, these are just 2 examples. They are not impenetrable, simply on their guard and thus maxed out. They can still be hurt easily, they are just smarter than that. It was unexpected and quite amazing. Vegeta swarms in to save the day, only for yet another extremely creepy scene to follow.And that is something that goes over this whole film. While it has it's light moments 4sure (Beerus eating Pizza, Wees and him eating other foods), it has some very dark tone to it. They aren't given five minutes, they are not easily all saved. HUGE SPOILER! Freiza takes out the whole earth b4 Vegeta even gets to finish off his big moment. Poor Vegeta...Vegeta fans, deal, seriously why would u want the movie to be predictable?It might help, that the special effects are so suberb, even though we know certain things (like, for instance, the hereos are gonna win the end), watching earth slowly crumble and being oblitered, Vegeta dying (again), and everyone aside from Goku, the gods, and those who fought the army (plus Bulma and Jaco-a cool addition who has his own manga-do check it out it's fun!), are alive and realize they lost. Fear not, time is reversed, and Goku takes out Freiza b4 this terrible event happens. It lasted just long enough to have a terrifying impact though.I think it was a good idea not to include too many characters as well, against other's opinions. We do not see anyone whose not going to fight essentially. I would've liked to see Andriod 18, Yamcha, and Chaotsu, but we really didn't need Videl, Buu, Mr. Satan, or others there, and it allowed for more of the stars and less of those who are cool, but don't need to be in every scene/film/episode/movie.Yes, this a "revenge-plot" movie and there isn't much more to the plot than that. But let's face it, Freiza was the one who set off every disastrous event since day 1, even Cell on some level (since his DNA was used in that concoction-can we get Resurrection-C next?). This "rematch" of sorts does not disappoint. Forgot to mention, Freiza's arrival involves blowing up an entire city in one hit. Fun right? Let this movie be fun, well done, with great special effects, excellent battles, many terrifying moments, and well done fight scenes. It was far more thrilling than battle of gods, despite Beerus being awesome, and far more engaging than most of the DBZ movies, even Wrath of The Dragon and yes, Broly: Legendary Super Saiyan. It definitely beats out many sagas of the series I'd say too: again, no comparison to Cell, or the namek-to-freiza saga.One more shed light on the humor: Goku and Vegeta both make jokes of their "fusion" multiple times, Bulma yells at Freiza calling endless names, and humorously sees him for the first time. This series knows when to take things seriously and when not too-most of the time-this is one time where it did better than usual (an example of failing to me is the entire Fusion Reborn movie, or Beerus vs. Vegeta in battle of gods, where it was a sushi joke the whole time).I'd reccomend this to even casual fans of the series, for as long as they know Freiza was a galactic nightmare of a being who, by all means, has done way more damage than perhaps anyone we've seen to date (all-right, Beerus-god of destruction, and Majin Buu was nasty as well, but time ((Beerus is mega old)), plus how far did Buu even get b4 being stopped?), there is nothing to not understand or not enjoy.5 out of 5, as opposed to battle of gods, which I'd do 4 out of 5, Broly and Wrath OT Dragon would get 4.5 out of 5.

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' is a thrilling and action-packed movie that delivers everything fans love about Dragon Ball Z. The return of Frieza as the main antagonist is a fantastic choice, and his new, more powerful form provides the perfect setup for some jaw-dropping battles. The fight between Goku, Vegeta, and Frieza is intense, emotional, and full of the high-energy action we’ve come to expect from the series.The animation is top-notch, with vibrant visuals and fluid fight choreography that make the battles even more exciting. The movie also does a great job of balancing epic action with moments of humor and heart, keeping the spirit of Dragon Ball alive while offering a fresh experience for both long-time fans and newcomers.The character development of both Goku and Vegeta is also a highlight. Their growth, both as fighters and individuals, is showcased beautifully in the film, adding emotional depth to the action-packed narrative. Frieza’s return also brings back a lot of nostalgia for fans of the original saga, and his relentless pursuit of power makes for a compelling villain.Overall, Resurrection 'F' is an exhilarating, must-watch movie that captures the essence of what makes Dragon Ball Z so beloved—epic battles, iconic characters, and emotional moments. If you’re a Dragon Ball fan, this film is definitely worth watching! Highly recommended!

This is definitely the weakest Z Movie but I mostly bought it for collection purposes cause that’s what a true dragon ball fan does

Get this movie if your a dragon ball fan it’s a amazing movie

A great return to form for Dragonball Z, along with Battle of Gods. If you wished for more action after the battle light Battle of Gods (although I didn't mind it so much), then Resurrection F should deliver for you. A good majority of the film is action heavy, as Goku and the gang try to stop the newly revived Freiza and his army. If you were hoping for more humor, it is still here, just not on the level BoG. Beerus and Weiss return, as you might have noticed them on this movies box art, but they are not featured as prominently here. They are just as funny when they do appear on screen, and ultimately, I am glad the creators liked them enough to make them returning characters. But anyways this movie isn't about them it is about Freiza. This movie is on the same level as the original Frieza arc in DBZ, just a whole lot more condensed. No waiting several episodes to wait for Goku to power up a move *cough* Spirit Bomb *cough*. Hahaha, I kid, I kid.This movie should scratch the itch of anyone looking for an action heavy DBZ, and those who just want to relive those good old days of coming home from school, turning on the TV, and zoning out to a great episode of DBZ, but in a new light. This is truly DBZ the way you remember, just a little bit fresher and in stunning HD!

Audio and video quality are superb on disc. This is must buy for Dragon Ball Super fans.
