Before I give my review, let me say how I grew up on DBZ and to this day I'm just as big of a fan as I was back then. This is the worst "DBZ" movie ever. They made Vegeta look like a little whiny girl the entire movie. The "villian" was awful and super saiyan god? Really? Super saiyan 4 is 10 times better. It focused HEAVILY on comedy and I had a couple laughs, but it was a disgrace to the original DBZ. I want to see Dragonball Z succeed and get great reviews, but the fact that this movie was so bad and received a rating of 7.1 just makes me angry.Everyone posting positive reviews saying 10/10 but the plot sucks is just a fan boy that can't admit when something is awful. If the plot sucks then it doesn't deserve a 10/10.

Lets get straight to it. This is the best piece of Dragon Ball content since the end of DBZ. Toriyama is back writing the plot, a new villain appears, it's funny, it's got incredible action and it's just pure Dragon Ball. The movie has an excellent mix of action and humour. It takes the best things from Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z and makes what I believe is the best Dragon Ball movie ever.The antagonist, Beerus, and his assistant, Whis, are the best addition to the Dragon Ball cast since Future Trunks. They're that good. Sure, Beerus is yet another overpowered villain fighting the not-powerful-enough good guys, but that's not exactly a gripe. A common complaint I've heard from fans of the series who disliked this film say that this is yet another film that falls under the common DBZ formula. Villain arrives. Heroes fight them. Heroes are failing. Heroes gain new power. Heroes win? Yeah, it uses the same formula. Do you know why? BECAUSE IT WORKS. Dragon Ball Z has been using this formula for pretty much every story arc ever.The action in the film is some of the best action that has ever graced this series. There are some absolutely mesmerizing moments in this film with superb animation. Yet another common complaint for this film was that "there wasn't enough action". That is a stupid complaint. If you literally enjoy this series for only it's action then go watch the obnoxious Broly film for the 1000th time.As for things I wasn't too fond of, there are a few. The film brings back some old characters, and while it's nice to see them, they don't really serve a purpose to the story, so their presence does feel like the creators are padding out the film for a longer length. Goku is the main star here, so you'll be disappointed to find that he's the only character here that actually does the main fighting (Vegeta gets a good fight as well but it wasn't very long). Other then that, there isn't anything else that I actually had a problem with.This movie feels like a love letter from Toriyama. It's what we as fans have been waiting for so long. No more GT crap, no crappy spin off animations, no mediocre video games, actual Dragon Ball content is here and it's canon to the story. It is a must see and a must own for Dragon Ball fans. There are more movies coming so the future is exciting.

Following the events from the Dragon Ball Z television series, after the defeat of Majin Buu, a new power awakens and threatens humanity. Beerus, an ancient and powerful God of Destruction, searches for Goku after hearing rumors of the Saiyan warrior who defeated Frieza. Realizing the threat Beerus poses to their home planet, the Z-fighters must find a way to stop him before it's too late. Only Goku, humanity's last hope, can ascend to the level of a legendary Super Saiyan God and stop Beerus from destroying Earth, and possibly the entire universe! Fans of the series will be delighted to know that Battle of Gods is an original work from Dragon Ball creator, himself, Akira Toriyama.

While the movie was entertaining and its nice to see Dragon Ball Z in hd, this movie completely changes everyone's personality and makes them behave in odd ways like they are stereo types of themselves. They also did the fusion dance completely wrong, and Goku could summon Shinron by himself. By anger alone of his wife being hit (out of character for Vegeta being so concerned about anyone besides himself) Vegeta in Super Saiyan 2 form was many times stronger than SS 3 Goku. When Goku loses God mode he is going toe to toe with the same God, who almost killed him with a flick while he was in SS 3 mode, all with black hair he couldn't even fight cell let alone majin buu like that. This show is a stupid money grab at least watch all the dbz episodes before making a movie about it.
