If AT hasn't heard that maybe we could have gotten more world building with the other universe and Gods of Destruction.
Well, there are some major positives:
1) He was brought back to life for at least four months. Tons of possibilities for what went on during this time (I don't think it'll be explored per se, but it's fun to think about, since it's open-ended).
2) He became a legitimate threat, destroying the Earth, likely fighting Goku/Vegeta closely (who are on God tier, even if they're not at the level of Beerus/Whis), and "winning" aside from Whis giving Goku a mulligan. Sounds like an impressive showing to me.
3) I think it was stated that the theatrical run time is 93 minutes? BoG was 85 minutes in theatres, but the extended version ran at 105 minutes. If we get 20 minutes of extra content, 113 minutes is basically five 22-minute episodes long. These are legitimately long films, and each one could comprise a mini-arc (plus, it's action-packed from what we've heard).
4) The movie and Freeza in general will probably have an extended run in merchandise/video games (and who knows, there might be some spinoff manga about him, or even another movie with him or his empire as a central figure, if FnF does very well in sales).
I would've loved for Freeza to have survived for another movie, but I think the above are all terrific from the POV of a Freeza fan.
