Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread: "Resurrection 'F'"

[Dragon Ball Ireland]

RF will always have a special place in my heart even if the film itself was so/so was the first theatrical DB film over here and was an amazing theatrical experience watching DB with fellow fans, people reacting & laughing to many scenes just made that first viewing so much more enjoyable!

I agree, I still remember the excitement of slowly getting new Dragon Ball movies in 2013-2015, and before Super was a thing they felt like huge events because of the novelty of it all.

I remember my disappointment at Battle of Gods not getting a theatrical screening, but being so happy when one was announced for Resurrection F, knowing I could support it and enjoy the experience.

At the time no one cared about how it was cheap fanservice, everyone was just thrilled to witness Dragon Ball on the big screen for the first time, and see Goku and Freeza duke it out once again.

Still glad we got these screenings, their success evidently led to much bigger theatrical runs for Broly, Super Hero, and whatever new movies should follow. There was a time when Dragon Ball in cinemas wasn't a thing in the UK and Ireland, I can see that being a given in the future.

I remember my local theatre (before they had reserved seating) moved the screening to their biggest screen because that many people pre booked tickets! Which was lucky for me and my friends cuz we winged it on the day haha!

I still have my ticket stub tucked away in the BD too!

God, I still can't believe how much this movie sucked. Even the one bright spot—using F as insert song—lasted all of twenty seconds.

Nagamine and rhe ither Tournament of Power staff really outdid this film when they brought Freeza back.

I would have created a thread to "celebrate" (!?) it as I did for other projects if we were under better circumstances... and if the movie didn't suck.

I remember being very excited for the announcement, after all, Movie 14 had been a good movie, and then I vividly remember the overwhelming feeling of bummer when the scan revealed Freeza was coming back. The very first thought was that nothing good could come out of a movie that was bringing Freeza back, and well... here we are. It didn't even pass the "test of time" because this is not one of those movies that "gets good with time", it is the same paper-thin "plot", nostalgia-driven, filled with recolors that led nowhere by the time the credits roll. It still is the worst of the bunch by very far, so congratulations, Movie 15!

Thank you for these soundtracks, though!

That sounds like a pleasant surprise. I pre-booked my ticket, was worried about Resurrection F selling out because there were only 3 screenings in the whole country.

I remember some people I talked to at the Broly premier were unaware Resurrection F had screenings, which means it probably could have been promoted better, but in spite of this I do remember the screening I attended being a full house.

This movie may have not aged well, but I'm glad it's success, especially at the time showed that Dragon Ball was still alive and well, despite there not being much new story content for years.

Watched it for first time, only checked part of Super adaptation before

I still think it would be way better, if Freeza was brought back shortly after he died to Trunks and he kept training during this whole time. All that "i need just few months of train, because I'm prodigy" is such BS, even for someone who try not care about power levels so much, and i understand Piccolo and others should not be out of breath while fighting Freeza Army, but I'm gonna blame it for "Well, realistically, Piccolo should just kill them all with one tiny KI blast, but that wouldn't be fun to watch" . Not huge fan of Goku and Vegeta not teaming up because of "muh pride" for several years already at this point, so i won't harp on it Biggest highlight for me was Blooma and her commentary during whole situation, and calling Freeza "dipshit" Once again, RIP Hiromi Tsuru.

6 out of 10 from me, i liked it better than i thought i would

I still remember like it was yesterday the outrage in this thread when we got leaks of Golden Freeza lol

That was actually one of the first threads I posted in and was more active in when I created my account here on Kanzenshuu. The movie is still terrible, only better than the (Super) arc in terms of animation, and thankfully, its "sucess" made it possible a new animated series to be announced 5 months later.

I sort of buy the training as he has never trained in this life but I feel like they should have showed him training though and that's where they could have had the F song inset.

Also agree re: Goku & Vegeta a 2v1 fight would have been awesome but tbh the main complaint about the film was lack of tension, having Beerus & Whis on the side-lines didn't help.
