Now here comes the stuff I didn't like. Sure there are continuity errors - how did they regen Freiza when the entire reason he was cyborged was because they can't regen to that degree, howcome when he came back he was in his first form and not his final one if he died in his final one and that's actually his original form, etc etc those are all small nitpicks you would expect from Toriyama and I already started doing that above, which I am gonna try to avoid. I think one of the biggest problems here is that there aren't any twists or turns. Everything is very obvious. Whis mentions he can turn back time, and he does at the end. Bulma offers Whis some food so he will come and help and he tells Goku and Vegeta in the nick of time. Right when it looks like Vegeta will actually win, nope, gotta be Goku. I think the implementation of SSGSS (if you are wondering, that stands for Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. Yup.) In fact, they don't even call it SSGSS in the movie! Reminded me of G-Savior, where they never refer to the main Mobile Suit as a Gundam. Everyone is just kinda being handed out new forms like candy. When SS1, SS2 and SS3 happened the reveals were appropriately epic - I am sure all of you who grew up with the series can still recall those three moments. Super Saiyan God at least had a neat way to be activated, SSGSS doesn't feel special. It is lacking that punch that the Super Saiyan forms had. No "I am truth. Ally to good! Nightmare to you!" from Goku or anything equivalent. Not even an explanation besides "They trained hard." Freiza's new old SNES form is much the same way. Now I don't really want 7 minutes of screaming like with SS3, just...some kind of impact? Another problem is that the movie just ends. Like yep, they beat 'em. That's it. Seeya. Was pretty lackluster. Battle of Gods ended in a really atypical way for the series where Goku doesn't win and Beerus and Whis leave while implying there are more things to come. I hope in Super this will be expanded on because it feels really limp.
