I'm utterly disappointed in the new film. I never read the spoiler, yet I can already tell that it's not the best Dragon Ball movie. Even Movie 11 is better than Battle of Gods. No spotlight for Vegeta. SSJ God. Low animation quality. What the heck is Toei thinking? Why are they so lazy? Why did they even allowed Toriyama to heavily involve in the first place? The man has already lost his touch. You should know better than to hire him when he's lost it. I know I wouldn't have him involve the movie. We already have the Jump Special for its gags. We don't need more. Geez.

Wait, you're bashing the movie, and you haven't even read the synopsis yet?

I respect your opinion but I can tell you that the movie is average at best. Vegeta did get a spotlight and became stronger then ssj3 Goku for a little moment. SSJ GOd I can understand. The animation was better in the trailers then the actual movie because in the movie it was to bright and you could't see everything. To me it was very weird and awkward. In my opinion I would't have Akira in the movie either. This is because Akira is forgetful and don't remember the story. Sure he learned some of the stories back and the characters because of him picking up some old manga chapters. Naho Ooishi should have been involve in the moment as well or taken Akira's spot as for me she clearly remember the story better then Akira and know the characters better since you know she didn't forget lol. Her EOB manga had the Freeza saga feel to it. I'm sure that Naho Ooishi could make the story have a more dragonball feel to it. As the movie didn't feel like Dragonball. To be honest it felt more like a comic book of Thor. I'm a big fan of those lol.

I don't have to read synopsis to be able to judge the movie. The fact that Toei isn't even trying is already shown in the film. Honestly, look at all other Z movies. You can tell that these movies are way better than this new film.

So, I'm guessing you haven't seen the movie and you haven't read the synopsis of the plot. So what are you basing this off of? Is the animation really that much more important than the content and presentation of the movie?

Yes, because "bad guy shows up with a slightly mirrored and watered down plot of a previous arc, fight-fight-fight, die-die-die" is more interesting than a film with a proper story.

Personally, wouldn't have been all that interested if this film followed the previous formats.

Vegeta, Blooma, and Beers are the heart of the entire movie. That much is evident by the synopsis.

I prefer to think of the previous movies were more of the line "Goku and co keep getting beat down until Goku makes that John Cena last minute comeback" :lol:

If you'd read the synopsis, you'd know that this is in no way a correct statement.

Uhh... Yes, I can. If I read some of Kei's comments or someone else's who saw the movie, I can form my opinion. It's really too bad that had they turned down Toriyama's modification on pinky SSJ God, it would have been much better. And not to mention the half of the movie mainly focused on Vegeta getting embarrassed by himself, being out of character. The minor characters don't get any good moments.

See, this is how I am basing my opinion.

You are talking to a guy that thinks GT is better than both Dragon Ball and DBZ. Yeah, his interpretations of quality are much of different than the average fan...

Toriyama had no modifications. He designed SSJ God. Vegeta isn't acting out of character at all. In case you have forgotten, Vegeta is a good guy now and his pride isn't exactly numero uno anymore. What is your definition of a "good" moment? Is it beating bad guy? Ha! Yeah, that's not gonna happen. They all had character moments so I don't see much of a reason to complain. Also you, the GT fanboy, want to talk about a lack of good character moments? Yeah ok...

It's stupid to judge something without seeing it. It's like hating on Lord of the Rings just by watching the tv spots, but never reading the books or watching any of the movies.

I don't see how altering the design of SSj God from another golden mess of hair to kawaiio-ken made the movie any better or worse. Neither option would be very original.

How is it out of character for things beyond Vegeta's control to happen to him?

I see no problem with that. At least he is basing his opinion off something, and if he likes GT better, then more power to him.
But I don't understand how you can legitimately dislike a movie if you haven't seen it. Or even read much about it.

You're basing your opinion on misconceptions and an admitted lack of actual effort placed into learning about the movie. Yamamuro Tadayoshi wanted to make Super Saiyan God big and muscle-y. It was Toriyama's idea to make Super Saiyan God thin. Kei really enjoyed the movie. Vegeta runs around trying to prevent a panic or the destruction of the world all while not even Beers notices that what Vegeta is doing. Vegeta then goes on to earn the same high praise from Beers that Gokuu receives after having defended his wife's dignity. That's a pretty big damned spotlight.

Videl, Dende, and Gohan share a splendid moment. Trunks, Goten, and the Pilaf gang are involved in hilarious shenanigans.

I'm not bashing him for liking GT, I'm simply flabbergasted that he would like it more than both DB and DBZ.

Meh, I can see why someone who preferred DB to DBZ would like GT more, and I think that GT has some of the best character moments out of all 3 series, not to mention some great ideas that could have been so much better were it not for the executions.
But this isn't really on topic :P

What great character moments? Yeah the Piccolo/Gohan moment was touching but other than that, what else is there other than Goku Time?
