As a kid in the early 2000’s I was a huge fan of Dragonball
Z. I remember many summer evenings watching episodes with my friends then
spilling into the garden and pretending we were our favourite characters from
the show. It wasn't just a great kid’s show but it was also a show with a lot
of adult themes which went straight over my head as a child. Recently I have been
watching old episodes again for nostalgia purposes and have remembered just
what made this show great which is the fantastic combination of humour and epic
action. I was made aware a few weeks ago that a new Dragonball movie had been
made called Battle of Gods and it had been made due to the creators own
personal hatred of the horrendous live action Dragonball movie from 2009
(Dragonball Evolution), so I decided to check it out.
Firstly I would say if you know nothing about Dragonball Z do
not watch this without checking out the show first as you will be totally lost.
The film presumes you are caught up with the show and know the situations all
characters are in. If you are like me though and are a fan of Dragonball Z you
will find a great deal to love in Battle of Gods. It has those classic
Dragonball moments we love and some hilarious moments from the movies villain
Lord Beerus. Without going into spoiler territory the final showdown between
Goku and Beerus is worth purchasing the film alone.
For my final verdict I want to make it clear if you are a
Dragonball Z fan this is definitely worth a purchase you should make however if
you have not seen Dragonball Z before I can’t recommend it before you have
watched the show. Which you should. NOW!!!
8.5/10
