Am I the only one with thinks Battle of Gods isn't that good

For the people I know that went to Japan just to see the movie, they say it's all badass and ******* awesome. So I went to some clips on youtube to see some of the movie. Then I went to Japan to see it. I saw a bootleg copy with arbaic subs at my bootleg market but I didn't buy due to Toei wanting to prevent all bootleg copies of the movie so I think it's fake. On to main subject I went to Japan a few weeks ago during spring break to see my Aunt and catch the movie. I thought it was average at best. To be honest I prefer Bojack's Unbound. Please don't say it's cause I can't understand the language because Dragonball Z don't use complex Japanese words and I was able to understand certain words and know the story by the animation since DBz isn't that hard to figure out. It was just something I didn't like about it. The plot to me was 3.5 or 4 / 5 which is good but it just didn't feel right to me. The animation itself was a hit and miss. Sometimes it looked perfect but at times the character were hard to see cause of the back-ground. The Goku(SSG) vs Birshu fight wasn't all that good in my opinion. I didn't like the half ass excuse that Pan gave Goku spirt energy. I'm sorry but it was Videl dancing not Pan. The character designs wasn't that good to me. Only Goku(Base,SSJ,SSJ2,SSJ3, and SSG),Gohan,Vegeta,Piccolo,Whis,Birshu, Buu, and King Kai was good IMO. Everyone looks like they're going to school. I know it's a formal event but the character acutally looks younger then older to me. Yamcha and Krillin look like high school kids. Their face shows it. Goten and Trunks clothes looks like they belong in pre-school. Once again I respect the formal clothing idea but should't they age at least a little? The only fight I liked was Birshu vs SSJ3 Goku and some of Vegeta vs Birshu. The Super Saiyan God transformation(First and second) was amazing. I'll say the power ups and ki looks amazing through. I felt the idea of Goku keeping the SSG power was another case of Goku's main character disease. It was even explained to be honest. Goku fought and got beat. Sat on sidelines(Watched Birshu fight) then return with new power. Haven't we seen this enough? The intro was great and the outro was decent. I rate the ost 3/5. Wasn't a fan of it but some songs were good. I will also say that ssj god is the wrong name. It should be called Saiyan GOD as if I'm correct and translated right. The original SSG wasn't a SSJ but wanted to defeat all evil on Planet Saiyan. Was this movie treated like the best dbz thing ever because it dbz and new? I mean like it's "Yes dbz got a new animation/movie! It's awesome!". Was it treated like this cause people missed Dbz? I'm sorry to everyone who enjoyed but I just didn't like the movie compare to other Dbz related animations. Please tell me I'm not the only one. I like to not follow the crowd and be myself or original but I know I can't be the only one who thinks this. Not saying you have to agree with me.

You should probably rename the title. "Am I the only one with thinks Battle of Gods isn't that great?" would work better since you clearly like it based on how you worded your post. I haven't seen anything to dislike about it yet. To answer your confusion about SSJ God though, I think 6 SSJ's made a Saiyan God so it's just called SSJ God. The original Saiyans who formed SSJ God were clearly SSJs since it's established by the legend that it takes SSJs to form it.

Thanks I fixed it ^_^.

Not quite. This is what was said.

Shenlong explains that Super Saiyan God was a savior accidentally created by righteous Saiyans long ago, in order to oppose the evil Saiyans, whose power and numbers were overwhelmingly superior. With his tremendous power, this savior quickly wiped out most of the evil Saiyans, but his power ran out right before he could finish the job. And so Planet Vegeta once again became a planet of evil Saiyans, and the savior was erased in legend. Shenlong further explains that when five righteous Saiyans infuse their light into another righteous Saiyan, then the Super Saiyan God will be born.

Firstly, the SSJ legend stated that there was only 1 every thousand years. If we take this as true,at least until the present, then there is no way that they could have all been Super Saiyans at the time of this event.
Second, it says that the evil Saiyans numbers and power were superior to the righteous Saiyans. If the good Saiyans were Super Saiyans, then the evil ones would have to be as well, to surpass their power.
Third, Shenron only says "five righteous Saiyans," not Super Saiyans.
I just take the phrase "Super Saiyan God" to be like SSJ4. It's unrelated, but they had to call it something. And SSJG sounds cooler than Saiyan God.

Super Saiyan God sounds cooler. BUT Saiyan God sounds more badass.

It says 5 righteous Saiyans must infuse their light into another righteous Saiyan. SSJs. This is another reason I think SSJ God predates the Legend of the SSJ.

I guess. Honestly, I wasn't a big fan of the concept when I first heard about it, and I still don't like the route they took with obtaining SSJG, but I do really like the design for SSJG Goku.

On topic time:
You're not alone. I've seen quite a few people who didn't really care for the movie. I haven't seen many that outright disliked it though. Having not seen it myself, I can't say for sure how I feel, but I have read this site's synopsis, and watched a few clips. The plot's decent, I guess, though I have yet to see the presentation.

How can anyone say anything is bad or good without having watched it?

In comparison to the manga, BOG seems absolutely terrible (as it tends to contradict shit nearly as much as the anime/other movies). In comparison to the other movies, I don't yet have an opinion. Will do after seeing it.

From the information we have about it?

That still doesn`t tell you HOW the movie is, we just know the story and the production stuff.

If the light is referring to SSj ki, then how did fetus Pan have any "light" to infuse?

I just feel like anything else thrown into the DB franchise is overkill. I think the bunny rabbit also doesn't look imposing at all. Plus, Goku's "new form" is actually something I came up with when I was about 13. No, I swear on my life. I wrote a fan series and gave Goku a "God Mode," later renaming it "Dragon Rage." The look of the form? Goku looks normal but his hair is standing up just a little (not like Super Saiyan) and he has a gold and silver aura around him. At that point I had pretty much come to the conclusion that Goku was a "God" based on "him" bringing back Pan and that fat kid in the GT special. I basically made up the ending for GT as Shen Long taking Goku to Other World and asking him to destroy Shen Long as the Dragon Balls were absorbed into his body, making him incredibly more powerful. No kidding.

Otherwise, here's why DB movies and specials don't do it for me. The DB story is epic. But you can't tell an epic story in 40 minutes. The series spans across so many episodes for one "Saga," that any special or movie, even if 2 hours long (equivalent to at most, six episodes) would NOT do it justice. Not even close.

Pan was a SSJ, not very hard to believe with Goten and Trunks being SSJs.

It is. I'd say mainly because there isn't anyone capable of doing DB. Toriyama? He doesn't remember. He doesn't care. He doesn't have an editor.
