The fresh Dragonball Z moving-picture show , titled Resurrection F , is really more of a remix than a Christ’s Resurrection . Or , substantially still , a peachy hits compilation , albeit one where the hits happen at wakeful - amphetamine and can destroy the planet . It ’s a collection of everything you enjoy about DBZ , but it ’s also all stuff you ’ve seen before .
The good news is that Resurrection F is a definite improvement over the previous DBZ movie , Battle of Gods . That ’s mainly because Battle of Gods was a foreign flick where Goku and the other Z Warriors take on Beerus , the hairless cat - headed god of destruction , in a shockingly anticlimactical conflict that Goku in reality fall behind . By feature an actual scoundrel who design to do factual harm to the protagonists , Resurrection F pull in a focus and an immediateness that make it much more exciting than its predecessor .
It also helps that the “ F ” in Resurrection F resist for Frieza , the well - known baddie from Dragonball Z ’s original manga and anime . The galactic conqueror is resurrected by some of his surviving minion with help from the Dragonballs ( something the ezed Warriors could have easy stopped and never even bothered investigated , strangely ) . If you ’re enquire how Frieza could possibly take on Goku , who kick the villain ’s tush back when he was a steady golden - hirsute Super Saiyan , and is now at the patrician - hairy Super Saiyan God storey , well , there ’s an answer . See , Frieza did all his original fight , conquering and satellite - exploding without ever having trained . So after revert to life , Frieza drop the next six months actually concentre on getting impregnable , and when he arrive back on Earth , he ’s get his new golden variant and is powerful enough to give Goku a political campaign for his money .
His fighting with Goku is somewhat great , even if it take a while for both combatants to fight “ for actual ” and introduce their terminal , most powerful forms . They animation is crisp , modern aliveness techniques are well - utilized without being too obtrusive , and I wager seeing it on the big - screen would be a major goody for any Dragonball Z rooter .
But if you ’re not a DBZ rooter , then F will almost certainly be completely unintelligible to you . The picture show makes most zero conceding for new audience — the characters are n’t introduced , none of DBZ ’s “ rules ” and power levels are even in short explicate , and also Beerus is hang around for no particular reason , meaning if you miss Battle of Gods , there ’s a vex new character taking the place of beloved case like trunk and Goten that everyone seems to be pals with .
Even if you are a DBZ buff — and I count myself as one — Resurrection F still feels weirdly limited in ambit , specially for the restoration of such a major fictitious character . The motion-picture show does n’t seek to do anything fresh with the quality or the enfranchisement ; again , other updated Frieza and Goku ’s color schemes for their last battle , it ’s moderately much the same fight from the Zanzibar copal TV serial publication , just condensed into less sentence . And the motion picture follows the exact same rule that the Zanzibar copal perfected back in the ‘ 90s : protracted build - up , lesser characters have fight vista , main villain show up and defeats lesser characters , Goku arrives , Goku and main baddie fight for a while , independent baddie powers up and starts perplex Goku , Goku power up and beat the scoundrel . The terminal . Resurrection F does n’t deviate from this even more or less . ( Also , Goku is off training on another world for the first 45 or so minutes of the moving-picture show to justify his absence in the beginning , and only learns of Frieza when a type literally thinks to check his voice mail . I ca n’t make up one’s mind if this is make sport of the more and more encumber way DBZ has kept Goku out of legal action until the end of fights over the years , or if the makers have just stopped trying to think of fair excuses for it . )
The world of Dragonball Z is sure a bit prettier now , but it ’s just as rote . It ’s not the worst affair in the humankind to put a new shine on a beloved classic — that ’s literally what DBZ has done with Goku ’s new blue-blooded - hairy “ Super Saiyan God ” mode and Frieza ’s Academy Award - esque gold final form — but that ’s really all there is to this Resurrection .
Hopefully next fourth dimension , we ’ll get something closer to a rotation .
