Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods (Uncut Edition)

A pesar que sólo me llegó el case blu ray con los discos y no trajo el la caja donde se entra o guarda el case como bien se aprecia en la imagen de venta. Me parece un buen diseño y los gráficos en blue ray son excelente, ambos formatos son Región 1 así que si pueden reproducir en los dvd/blue ray player vendidos en US y Latinoamerica.

Loved it

A great birthday present, and it lived up to most of the hype. A shame it was released in theatres in America for only a few days. The basic plot is that due to a dream, Lord Beerus, the odious God Of Destruction, awakens. He's disturbed and worried that an opponent of massive strength rivals that of his own and he begins searching the Universe for the one he dreamed of, the Super Saiyan God. Along with his partner, Whis, they eventually pinpoint the source of the legend and the adventure begins!The movie is a blast from the past, basically mixing the new style of intensity of the Dragonball Z series and mixing it harmoniously with the comical whiles of the original Dragonball. The bad news is that if you're expecting a fight that lasts for many episodes you may be disappointed. But the good news is far greater! You get to see most of the original characters at least at some point in the show which allows the show to score rather big on the nostalgia scale. I've seen the film in Japanese subtitles and have now seen it in English. The voice acting is HILARIOUSLY done for Beerus in any language while the calm and subtle Whis tsakes a few comical jabs as well. Let me describe the new characters below...Beerus. Obviously the main antagonist, he's different from the others who fight Goku in that for all his power, he's not evil in the slightest. As a destroyer of worlds in charge of maintaining the Universe he basically views the extermination of a planet as little more than a job. He's a large anthropomorphic purple cat resembling a cross between a Cornish Rex and an ancient Egyptian deity! Personality wise, he gets angry almost randomly at the slightest thing such as not getting a pudding cake, yet when Vegeta hits him with everything he's got Beerus calmly flies away as if nothing were amiss. Go figure. He's charming, strong willed, and even playful and friendly and has a great deal of respect for those beneath him and enjoys a good joke or a gag. Relaxed and even humorously cranky at times, he's generally hard to peg as a true 'villain'. A large amount of the humor in this movie is derived from the sheer number of odd facial expressions Beerus makes. From going to mind blowing furious to going bug-eyed from consuming a hot wasabi roll, these are but two of the myriad ways Beerus expresses himself! Oh, I won't spoil the movie by writing too much about the ending! let's just say that it appears Beerus and Whis have a bit more in mind for Goku than a fight. Hopefully all will be revealed in Dragonball Z, Battle Of God's 2 which is currently in production!Whis is a tall, mostly human-like person with a calm, polite butler-like personality who's always cheery and nothing seems to bother him. He's got light blue skin, an almost effeminate face, white hair that stands almost straight up, and he wears a multicolored robe and sports a magic wand endowed with many unusual powers. Whis is about as carefree a character you could ever imagine. At first he seems to merely be a servant/friend of Beerus, but later in the film he's revealed as being almost twice as powerful as Beerus and serves as a full-time body guard. The slight implication is this. If Beerus needs a body guard THAT powerful he either has enemies after him or has a weakness someone wants to exploit. It's even implied ever so subtly that both are looking for someone to take over being the God Of Destruction which leaves new ground to explore in the film currently in production.As for the movie, it's stunning visuals and animation are almost flawless. The only complaint is that during the final battle things are moving by so fast it makes it hard to see what's going on! The animators truly made it appear as if the fighters were moving at incalculable speeds and made it to where every single frame looked great!I should also point out that the Super Saiyan God was a bit of a disappointment. Normally when Goku reaches another level his overall appearance changes in a big way. More muscular, longer hair, linear face, blue eyes. The Super Saiyan God sports red hair, red eyes and gives goku a much smaller and sleeker look than previous models. One of the few flaws of this film.I wouldn't give the move a solid 10 out of 10, but an 8.5 out of 10

DRAGONBALL ZBATTLE OF GODSI have always been a huge fan of “Dragonball Z” ever since its very first airing on Toonami way back in the day in like 1997 along with “Mobile Suit: Gundam Wing”. I of course always loved the films as well, well at least the animated ones. So when this was released I was so excited along with my brother. We both went out and bought it immediately. We then invited all of the homies and went to my brother’s house for the viewing party. Of course we were all excited and ended up really enjoying it.The story follows Beerus, the God of Destruction, who has been awakened to find out that Freeza was defeated by a Saiyan. He finds this very intriguing and decides to head to Earth to challenge this Saiyan himself. Once there he easily defeats Goku as well as the other Z fighters of Earth. It seems like there is nothing that can stop this being from destroying the Earth, well unless a legendary figure known as the Super Saiyan God can show up.I really enjoyed this film as it was a super fun flick that really showed how great my favorite character is, Vegeta. It is in this film that his character is really shown, and I mean character of the man. He recognizes who this creature is and puts all of that pride aside to make sure that Beerus does not get put in a bad mood. He wants to keep his family safe [especially since this is during his wife’s birthday] and keep the planet he calls home safe. But even more than that when Goku powers up to a level 3 Super Saiyan he is defeated in a few blows by Beerus after hi cocky attempt to think he was on that level. But when Beerus slaps Bulma Vegta goes crazy and for a moment he takes it to the God of Destruction like nobody ever has. Is it short, sure, but for that short time I may have never been happier watching DBZ.You get some great behind the scenes features on the Blu-Ray/DVD combo and like I said the film is a fun one. It also leads into the next film that would bring back one of the most popular villains the franchise has ever seen. I would highly recommend this film to any DBZ fan or even anime fan out there.

Excellent all round. A Christmas present for my son who was well chuffed!Would definitely recommend

Con esta película retorno la historia canon de Dragon ball tras muchos años. Por mi parte, la película me gustó con su mezcla de acción, situaciones cotidianas de los personajes (se agradece que no todo sea peleas), y a que introdujo nuevos conceptos y nuevas puertas para lo que tenemos actualmente. Aproveché comprar esta edición física ya que incluye la versión de cine y una extendida, aunque no trae español latino, pero me gusta escucharla en japonés. Si lo que buscas es la version extendida en español latino, no estoy seguro que exista de manera oficial.

For the people who might be wondering some information about the language, I will note some. (We don't have a Blu-Ray player, so it's only about DVD although I purchased the Blu-ray + DVD combo because it was less expensive than just DVD.)- The audio is available both in Japanese and in English(with Theatrical version, both audio are 5.1 Dolby surround system, while with Uncut version, English is 5.1 Dolby surround system and Japanese is stereo)- English subtitles are available.- The songs ("Cha-la head-cha-la" and "the Hero") are in English even when you watch in Japanese.(They had a notice at the beginning that those songs in Japanese version are not available.)As for the movie itself, it was enjoyable and reminded me the Dragon Ball Z on TV I was watching when I was a kid.I'm Japanese and grew up with this show although I stopped watching when Dragon Ball GT started. Now that I have children and we watched "Dragon Ball" and started watching "Dragon Ball Kai". Kids love these shows, so we bought this for them. I think that in "Battle of Gods", it has comical part, some fighting, and you can see Goku's passion to love to fight someone who's stronger/better than him.If I remember correctly (it's a long long time ago, and my memory is not great so sorry if I'm incorrect), usually the Dragon Ball Z movies were bad guys show up, everybody gets beaten up, the last moment Goku shows up and Ta-dah! he beats the bad guys. The main story line is the same, but in "Battle of Gods", Beerus is not just a "bad guy" to beat, but Goku wanted to fight him because he is a challenge.As I had seen in other Dragon Ball Z, the English translation seems a little different from Japanese. It's probably because the target audience age might be a little different. In English version, I find Goku sounds more serious while in Japanese, Goku is more playful. That's in general and it didn't start from this movie. So I'm simply happy that I can watch it in Japanese because it sounds so weird when you watch shows with different voice actors from what you're used to.The only thing I didn't like is that they didn't have Japanese version songs for "Cha-la Head-cha-la" and "the Hero".I was hoping it was on somewhere like bonus features, but finally found the notice at the beginning of the movie that this does not contain Japanese version....

The release is good, the uncut version is the one to watch obviously. FUNimation did a good job dubbing this, they're getting better and better with voice acting (compared to the 90s and 2000s)The movie itself is pretty good. The point is to indroduce Dragonball Super and the (best) new characters (Whis and Beerus) that will be mainstays for the new series.Too bad FUNimation didn't release a special edition with the "Yo, Goku and his friends return" OVA, but knowing them, they'll release it next year with other features removed, Or something dumb.

Great movie. Dragonball Z and Dragonball fans will love the humor in tge first half of the film. The problem is that the first half of the film is all comedy. The movie is pretty slow to get to the good stuff. The 20 bonus minutes are also comedic and no action. This is not a bad thing its just not the best case scenario. This movie is designed to set up the sequel. If you watch this movie with that on mind, along with preparing to have a few laughs, you will have a lot of fun with this movie. Side note, the bonus features are a nice peek inside the minds of the voice actors.
