Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'

Rated: 7.8/10 ⭐️

I went in hyped for Frieza’s comeback and got a fast, flashy slugfest. It’s leaner and meaner with total metal concert energy.

What Worked:
Toei’s fluid animation makes the crisp impacts pop, showing exactly why they pushed for IMAX. Frieza’s voice work steals it for me; mixing petty and cruel makes him a real threat. Plus, Toriyama’s pacing means zero filler; the humor lands and the stakes stay completely clear.

The Cuts:
The army fight really dragged for me; I wanted less mob cleanup and more main event. The Super Saiyan Blue reveal happens so quick it lacks breathing room and emotional buildup. Also, the supporting Z Fighters get totally sidelined just to act as warm-ups.

Verdict:
A straight-up gorgeous brawl. Through my Methodist faith lens, I wrestled with the revenge themes but loved the message that pride and “going it alone” fails. Skip if you need a slow build.

Line: “If the two of you were to properly learn to work together, you could defeat almost anyone.”

8/10
