A slam-bang action-adventure that will have Dragon Ball fans cheering.
A strictly members-only entertainment for a dedicated target audience, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ will impress the uninitiated as very loud and very colorful, but not nearly fast-paced enough.

One innovation: the application of thrash metal to fight scenes, which at least hushes the shriller voice artists.

An old villain returns in a movie that's an improvement on Dragon Ball Z's recent resurrection "Battle of Gods." It's much more action packed, marks the return of some classic characters, and adds even more powered up forms that fans can obsess over.
Yes, it's another chapter that will get fans even more excited for the future of this series. Akira Toriyama shows he's interested in exploring new themes with his stories. There are a few moments where the writing has us believe he might actually be interested in having his characters actually learn something from battles outside of just how much stronger they can get.
The missing humor element from the previous movie is a bit disappointing, but it more than makes up for it by being action packed. Fights look great and there are more of them this time around. There's plenty of flash and fan favorite moves on display. Side-characters like Krillin and Gohan actually make themselves useful for once.
It really is a step up from the already great Battle of Gods in just about every way. The inclusion of Beerus here seems to only serve the purpose of reminding us that this is a sequel. Personally I hope they don't continue to have him around. His personality just consists of him threatening to destroy the earth in order to manipulate our heroes. It makes him unbearable. I hope he gets ditched into the realm of forgotten DBZ characters.
It's an all around blast for DBZ fans. Those unfamiliar with the material will probably be lost, but those of us who have followed the stories of this series are in for a treat. With fantastic new character designs, a battle with a classic villain, and great action scenes any fan would be bereft to miss this.
I give Resurrection 'F' a 9.1/10.

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F is entertainingly bad, and should be ashamed of having the title of Dragon Ball Z. It's one of the most awkward Dragon Ball Z movies I've seen to date, and that's saying something since there are more than a dozen movies.
The plot is structured so terribly and does not incorporate what makes Dragon Ball Z, the action-anime that has inspired several titles that came after it. It tries to incorporate more humor to keep the audience's attention, and while a good majority brought a smile to my face, it eventually lead to nervous laughter. The animation looks great, seeing your favorite Dragon Ball characters on the big screen in action, but the small amount of CG was pretty cringe-worthy.
Which leads to why I didn't like the movie; it didn't feel like the Dragon Ball Z I knew. What I mean by that, is there was no struggle, no wall for Goku to climb with the stakes raised higher than ever before. Freeza was threatening for a very short time, until the movie decided to make his return a complete joke. The film acknowledges our two main character's flaws, but they don't really change by the end of the movie, or if they did, it wasn't executed well.
I'm sure Dragon Ball Z fans will enjoy the film for what it is, I just didn't enjoy it because of how far it departed itself from it's roots.

Dragon Ball Z: La resurrección de Freezer probablemente sea mejor que "La batalla de los Dioses" en cuestión de las escenas de acción, pero comete los mismos errores que su antecesora (un guion pobre y una narrativa débil) probablemente los fans queden complacidos, pero para un publico que desconoce esta saga, es mejor alejarse de esta pelicula, y si tienes curiosidad, mejor espera que salga en Netflix, mejor gasten su dinero en Intensamente (Inside Out) que en este capitulo unico y exclusivamente hecho para fans de hora y media.

Frieza returns with a Dragon Ball wish leading to a final confrontation with Goku, who has managed to tap into his SS God powers to help him. This one does a good job at highlighting the flaws that Goku and Vegeta have, flaws that ultimately could spell disaster for them if gone unchecked. Other than that, It just results in the plot that quite a few other DBZ films have had - A major villain is wished back to life and is swiftly defeated. It lacks the comedy and actual storytelling that made Battle of Gods so good.
