Why so much hype?

What makes it different from others?

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I'm not sure why I waited this long to finally watch this. Maybe because deep down inside I knew DBZ was dead and everything thing after The Cell saga is just filler. Or if you are a true DBZ purist, everything after the Frezia saga is just filler. Whatever, this is just another Dragonball Z movie. It isn't anything special, like most DBZ films. The fighting is whatever. The story is lame. But what really gets my goat is how Goku literally holds hands with a few other guys in order to get to the next level. No training, no nearly dying. Just holding hands. In top of that, Goku saying, "I give up." Just what the heck? I don't know what I just watched but it isn't DBZ. So yeah, this movie literally confirms the fact that Dragonball Z has officially become nothing but a soulless cash grab.

Another action packed super Kung Fu outing for Dragonball. The movie is everything that the animated series was but with a condensed time period.A cat God awakens after 50 years of sleep in order to battle a mythical Super Saiyan God, but finding only Goku and his friends not worthy could spell doom for the planet Earth, unless a wish from the Dragonball can help. I'll be honest, I have a short attention span and it sometimes frustrated me having to wait two of three episodes for a battle that would last two of three episodes(that part I liked), but this movie proves that you can get to the action nice and quick.But I will admit, for a movie about the ultimate power level the fight sequences were not the best I've seen in Dragonball. It would not make my Top ten. I guess when you reach that level the fight does not need to take that long.Like most movies these days, Dragonball wants to examine it's heroes, pointing out the flaw in Goku as being addicted to fighting and examining the long road all the characters toke to get to this place, using puns and one liners. The geek that I am love this concept, especially since it's true that Goku can't back away from a fight. The animation was cool, but not overall better than what the series did.Overall, it's been a long time since I have a good helping of some Dragonball, and this film was satisfying

When you see that title, you think something baddass will happen, especially with the cover being cool. Well guess what, the movie sucked.The movie really sucked because it was just comedy all movie and the title IMPLIES something cool will happen, not just random dumb jokes. At least implement the comedy like in "Legendary Super Saiyan Broly" or "Fusion Reborn". Some stuff didn't make sense either like SS3 Goku losing but later doing fine as SS1, and why Gohan didn't unleash his potential(I might be wrong though,and if he did, then why couldn't he stand a chance when SS1 does fine), and if Vegeta was gonna get more power based on rage, he should've had enough power to beat up Buu(because he ate Chocolate Bulma) while Bills simply slapped her. One big thing people like to rant on about is nostalgia, but yah Im only 14 and yet I had more nostalgia watching "Yo Son Goku and his friends Return!" just cause it obviously didn't give me expectations that it would be super action. This movie's animation was alright,but there are some movies(ones in the Buu saga) that were much better in some ways. Goku and Bills just fly around all over the place and give lame punches. The art style was okay, but not for dbz. It was more kawaii(cute) then sugoi(cool), and for me dbz suits cool better. Dragon ball deserves cute. Even tho GT wasn't the best, It had a good concept, and it was sorta execute slightly better than this bad movie. The saddest part is that GT may not be canon anymore while this movie is . That's pretty disappointing,especially since GT was pretty cool, though not as good, I'll admit.

very godly movie! to be honest! and for those people who love all those actions just as me!.humor has been added very well and the character of Beerus is cute as well as villainous (there is no villain but he does look like one).the return of Emperor Pilaf is also very funny and i enjoyed that a lot!.Its been a long time since i have seen comedy in Dragonball series and this is definitely one of the best hilarious as well as action packed movie i have ever seen!.it marks a very big levels of powers and abilities as Super saiyajin God makes his entry and there are 2 sequels(1 is confirmed the other is not so sure) to this movie which i think will be better than this one!.
