[Guyver Spawn]

It appears that these two toys of Goku and Vegeta from the latest film where posted today. Looks like this new blue hair form may be a new form of Super Saiyan God. It could be fake but take it with a grain of salt.

So Revival of F had a screening in Japan and Kei17 (A legit Japanese user from Japan) posted spoilers for the ending. Read at your own risk.

Freeza gets killed by Goku and his body vanishes completely. After the ending credits, he is in hell and surrounded by cute stuffed animals and fairies again, and then the movie ends with his screaming "Nooooooooooooo!!!" in English.

Do Beerus and/or Whis fight?
Whis fights during a training of Goku and Vegeta. Beerus never does.

Do any of Freeza's soldiers survive?
The Z warriors take them down without killing them, but Freeza kills them off all himself.

That sounds really anti-climactic but then again I wasn't expecting much from this movie

[Klonoahedgehog]

So are we gonna have a plot reason for Goten and Trunks not being there or what?

[Guyver Spawn]

From what I've been told, they are not in the film. I guess Toriyama didn't want to write them into the movie.

[Klonoahedgehog]

That's really odd, i mean aren't they main characters? (Also some of my favorite characters)

It seems like Revival of F is not as good as Battle of Gods. Kei17 posted his thoughts on the film.

Here's my quick critique.


THIS IS NOT A MOVIE.

There's a Japanese term 起承転結 (introduction, development, turn, conclusion) which is often referred to when it comes to writing fiction, and Resurrection F completely lacks development in it. Foes appear, warriors gather, fight, then win. There is no development in the story. It's just punch, punch, kick, beam, funny conversations, punch, beam, funny reactions, beam, punch, Kamehameha! I can even hardly call this a story. It fails to be something enough calling a movie.

However, that doesn't mean it's not entertaining. It sure has a lot of charms. It's got a lot of hilarious and heartwarming moments (like Jaco's funny lines, Piccolo rocking Pan's cradle and Android 18 showing her love for Krillin) that definitely entertain fans, and the characters feel very on-character thanks to Toriyama. Also, a lot of the fight sequences were much better than my expectations. They're mainly focused on fist-to-fist struggles and it's not a boring beam show that GT was. Especially, Kamesen'nin was really badass this time. You ought to check it out yourself.

Things that bugged me were some really amateurish transitions of scenes, the persistent and unfunny gag moments by Beerus, and the choreography of battle sequences. Some scenes were suddenly inserted that I couldn't immediately understand what's happening. For example, Sorbet finds Pilaf and co in his space ship, and within the next two shots, they're already trapped in the ship and talking with Sorbet. It could have been a lot better by showing Pilaf and his gang first, then the space ship comes, trapped, and Sorbet gets introduced. Also, though Freeza mentions his training for a few months, the training itself is never shown and you don't understand how he could have become stronger. He just comes to the Earth shortly after his resurrection. As for gag moments, honestly, Beerus was unneeded in this movie. He just continues on talking about foods, which we've already seen enough in BoG, and contributes nothing to the story. Also, he acts high and mighty all the way that it spoils Freeza's terror. Whis alone would have been completely fine this time. The battle choreography was mostly nice, but it was often too "realistic" that it's not very DB-esque. It could have been more planet-scale. The overuse of slowmo doesn't help, too.

In conclusion, this is a compilation of battle sequences with Toriyama's elements inserted between them, which is enjoyable for DB fans and those who want to enjoy hardcore actions with an empty head. But to me, this does not feel like a movie at all. It feels like an overly rich OVA.

DBZ needs to have depth though. It can't just be mindless action even though the brainless fans want it to be. Battle of Gods had a good original story and didn't rehash stuff like Lord Slug, Super 13 and Return of Coola did. Not to mention Beerus had personality and a good backstory while the other older DBZ movie villains never did in my opinion
