Doesn't change the fact the fight was one of the worst MAJOR fights in DB's history.

Birsu vs SSG Goku was NOTHING like the fight with Cell. The fight with Cell is what the Birsu vs SSG Goku fight should have been. Goku is losing but still a great fight. Instead we got Birsu kicking SSG Goku ass until Goku turns SSJ. How did that remind you of Goku vs Cell? I'm curious
No offense Goken, but we get it. You and Rocketman despise Battle of Gods. You have made that very clear since the majority of us saw the film.
He has a point. Goku's fight with Cell was pretty damn good. Goku's fight with Beers isn't terrible by any means, but it certainly could have been better.

Exactly. I don't think their fight was that bad, it just wasn't up to my expectations.

I found Goku vs Cell in both DBZ & Kai a little boring. Not bad, it had its cool moments, but still boring.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter.

Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

The problem is that much of the animation in that fight is really stiff and odd looking, not to mention slow. But there are great animations towards the end of it.
There's room for only one snake, and one big boss.

Really? It's one of the better fights in the entire franchise.

Both me & my brother found it boring... so I guess each to their own. :P

Each to it's own. But to me the fight was great. Especially when they both went 100%. Well Cell wasn't 100% but you get what I mean.

That's funny :lol: That's exactly how I feel about the Super Saiyan God fight. I even re-watched the movie again today. The fight only got good once Super Saiyan God left the screen.

I can definitely say I still enjoy this movie.

So I've been told that Funimation has no plans to dub anymore dragonball movies including Battle of Gods, is there any known truth to this statement?

That and, the only time FUNi has ever dropped things like that were things that didn't sell well for them, like Case Closed and Lupin the 3rd (though there they did get the Fujiko series...though I daresay that had more to do with how fanservicey it was than them going "ooh, let's give Lupin a try again!"). Dragon Ball has sold way too well for them over the years to just NOT get new material for it by choice.

How does one not enjoy movie 3? Everything else I agree with.... well I can watch movie 4, but only the original Funimation dub version. The music, while not fitting, was still enjoyable and kept me watching.

Movie 3 was meh at best IMO. I didn't find it to be anything special and the ending was pretty predictable.

Nothing. It was more bullshit enemies coming out of nowhere with terribly written context and painfully mediocre and rehashed battles. Haiya Dragon is cute though.

Tullece was cool and the fight between him and Goku was cool. You also don't see people actually destroying a Genki Dama.

Exactly. Everyone praises that fight, but due to those problems, I've never liked it all that much.

I didn't like it at all, the Oozaru Gohan segment just dragged so long. The humans cameo just to get owned.

So BOG was screened in Perth today (well, yesterday by a couple hours). Anyone here get the chance to see it? Quite interested in the subtitles, would like to know what names they went with for Beerus and Whis. Would also be neat to find out what type of people were actually in the theatre and how full it was.

Cell vs Goku was awesome!!!:
Easily one of the best fights in the animated series.
