User blog:Shadow7615/Shadow Reviews - Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'

Welcome to my third installment of Shadow Reviews, this time, it's not a Marvel movie! And finally, I get to broaden this series' horizon and review one of the newest movies released in Japan, and it's none other than Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'!

As per my standard, this is a SPOILER FREE review, so just settle in and enjoy this review!

A plot summary: A year after the Battle of Gods, The Frieza Force has gathered the 7 Dragon Balls and have wished for Frieza to be resurrected back to life, decades are his defeat on Namek and Death on Earth, having been resurrected, Frieza enacts his plans to get his revenge on Son Goku and the others who were involved, and after coming to Earth, Goku and Vegeta must defend Earth from Frieza, who has reached a new level of power!

The movie is definitely a fast-paced action movie, however, there is still plenty of humour and laughs to be had during this movie, Beerus and Whis make for great comic relief in this movie, as opposed to Beerus' anatgonist role in Battle of Gods, the movie manages to not only build off of Battle of Gods' influence on the series, but also lay the foundation for Dragon Ball Super, once it rolls around to the Resurrection 'F' Saga, which will essentially retell the movie.

For a limited theatrical event, Resurrection 'F' was totally worth seeing, just to go off on a tangent, I woke up at 2:30am, to go on a train at 4am, that arrived in the city at 7:30am, so that I could be there for the one screening they had at 10:30am, I also cosplayed as Goku for the second time, I cosplayed as Goku last year when Battle of Gods' dub came down to Australia, Resurrection 'F' this time was subbed, yet other cinemas in my city had the dubbed version, just a little bit of a gauge as to how dedicated I am to DBZ. Oh! and there was a Vegeta cosplayer too!

So, to summarise this review, Resurrection 'F' is a great continuation of Battle of Gods, it manages to not only be a great movie for the overall story, but also have plenty of fanservice for longtime fans who enjoy the series as a whole, and managed to fit in humour and other jokes to lighten the tone.

Finally, Frieza in this movie has actually influenced my decision to use him in a Death Battle, while I'm not confirming Frieza will appear, I am officially stating that Frieza is a very strong contender for a battle at some point next Season! This has been Shadow's Review of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F', Thanks for Reading!

OVERALL SCORE: 9/10
