Dragonball Z: Battle of Gods is the return of the Dragonball Z universe that fans will love. After a long hiatus of this world after the mixed bag known as Dragonball GT, this film is a must watch for any Dragonball Z fan. Taking place soon after the Buu saga in Dragonball Z the film focuses on meeting between the antagonist(?) Beerus, the God of Destruction, and the Z Fighters. Beerus looking for a rival suited to his power, the mythical Super Saiyan God, and the Z fighters hoping to please him so he does not want to destroy the planet, all while happening during Bulma's birthday party! This film is the perfect blend of humor and action that Dragonball Z is perfect at. Especially after such a long absence of these characters, seeing them interact in this film felt as if no time had passed at all. It is as if the characters know the hidden jokes of each other and are able to play off those. Bulma cracking jokes about Vegeta being sulky, or how everyone can seem to agree even though Goku may be extremely powerful he still is the dumbest of them all, really brings the Z fighters and the audience together as a family. Along with the relationships and dynamics between the Z fighters there is another key component of this film, fighting! Going back rewatching Dragonball Z, it has not aged well in the sense of its visual quality and pacing. This film is the perfect revival of the series because it does both really well in the modern day. The fight scenes throughout the film are absolutely gorgeous with the twist of what seems to be a 3D landscape, watching these fights brought back memories of playing Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 except even prettier! At first skeptical of the return of Dragonball after so many years of it being absent Dragonball Z: Battle of Gods does everything it needs to disproves any fear of this universe and its characters coming back in the modern day.
