"Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn" (Or whatever you want to call it) is the 12th DBZ movie, (Depending on whether you count the specials or Video Games). It follows the story of the creation of a new more powerful monster, made up of all the negative souls of the afterlife. With that barrier down all the dead rise up and cause havoc. And Goku and Vegeta must work together to beat this new monster, Janenba.
This movie marked a new high point of quality for the DBZ movies. It is my favorite of all the animation styles. Some people may prefer "Super Broly", "Battle of Gods" or "Super- Superhero", but for me, this is the best these movies have ever looked. The fight scene between Janenba, Goku and Vegeta is full of great moments.
The B-Plot that they cut to also has some good moments. Including Goten and Trunks taking down a particular evil villain who got released from Hell.
On the downside, Janeba doesn't have much of a personality, he is just the big bad guy the heroes have to fight. Janenba follows too many of the same plot points that Majin Buu follows in the series.
The way the fight ends is also pretty underwhelming, it just ends too quickly. And perhaps they spend too much time on the fighting of evil henchman from Hell, that could have been spent on the more plot relevant stuff.
Nerd rant stuff: Shenron is completely wasted in this story and where was Cell?
If only they could fuse the best elements of this movie, with the best elements of another DBZ movie. Other than those gripes, this is an all-around good time. I highly recommend it to any DBZ fan.

I absolutely love this movie. For me, it was one of the finest moments of the entirity of Dragon Ball, very funny to watch but also quite action packed, with some incredibly good animation.
The villain was very fun. Sure, it was clearly inspired by Majin Buu, but Janemba is quite cool anyway, and his fight against SSJ3 Goku was pretty entertaining.
Some people apparently are upset Gohan was able to beat up the ghost of Frieza with a single punch. Personally, I think there is nothing "illogical" about that victory, showing how strong Gohan had become by that part of the series.
If anything, Frieza becoming super mega strong in Dragon Ball Super after a month of training is dumb, illogical and pure fan-service made for Frieza worshippers that probably cheered up when he resurrected and was given a happy ending in that series (By Goku, no less! So incredibly stupid)
Sad how the Frieza cult (who is probably behind the writing of the awful Dragon Ball Super) got their revenge in Dragon Ball Super, which made that overrated villain incredibly strong while nerfing Gohan. Now they want to turn Frieza into a recurring "Joker" type of villain, which is frankly embarrasing.
I really hope Gohan finishes Frieza with a single punch in a future movie. That would be a genuine subversion of expectations. And I hope this time Frieza stays dead for good, enough of Frieza worship that only serves to ruin Dragon Ball.

Then this is number 12 of the Dragon Ball Z films So the film begins with an ogre who works for King Yemma's but this ogre caused a disaster and caused the spiritual washing machine to be destroyed the solvice was transformed into another being who always repeats the word Janemba is because ofthis one from the state will say it's broken So all the dead who were dead will come back to life on earth to be able to stop all this They have to kill Janemba So what do I think about this film Well it's a film that doesn't make me very crazy I was already know that all people say thisthat it's one of the most beautiful Dragon Ball Z films but for me that's not the problem with this film that instead seems like a zany comedy because this is really too much comedy and then those who come back to life on earth are Completely useless and then as always it's still herecontinuous error on an anime because Gohan is on earth because he should be on the planet of kaioshin training with the sword Z then the thing that I didn't like at all is Janemba's appearance I don't like this mission because it seems to me too ridiculous and stupid very ridiculousthe other person is much better when Janemba transforms and finally becomes a very cool being this time and I tell you that this time Janemba but the thing that really makes this film become a zany comedy and when they make a mistake in the fusion becoming this fat Gogeta is the way he does vaguely very exemplary crazy forgot to mention also a wasted character or Pikkon always becomes a wasted character in which he ruins himself The only thing he does is break the barrier that keeps King Yemma's imprisoned But since he intervenes to make Goku and Vegeta do the fusion and it becomes very useful What a shame that he didn't appear in the tournament of power very few countries mirror a character Not created by toriyama and then the most beautiful part of this film and when Gogeta really appears this time This is the very beautiful part it all comes back normal So thisit's not one of the best because of this part which is too comical and zany if they did the right things I could be very high rated But this doesn't mean that this is rejected because this film is ok to conclude rated 6.5.

Along with "Wrath of the Dragon", this might be my favorite Dragon Ball movie. Now, while "Wrath of the Dragon" seems to cover the super-serious, intense and "edgy" side of Dragon Ball Z, this movie does the total opposite of that, focusing in the humorous and light-hearted side of the series, and does it in a quite entertaining way.
In many ways, it almost feels like an abridged version of the Majin Buu Saga, starring a villain with similar characteristics. The tone is also similar, with an adequate balance beteween comedy and action, and it seems clear that Akira Toriyama feels more comfortable doing such kind of stories rather than the dramatic stuff that some fans prefer.
I for one, I enjoy silly Dragon Ball as much as serious Dragon Ball. At least during the Majin Buu years, the writing of the silly parts was quite creative and playful, filled with many unpredictable moments.
It also helps the animation of this movie is really nice, with some amazingly done action sequences. The modern Dragon Ball art style, with its saturated shiny colors looks a bit ugly in comparison most of the time.

Finally, Goku and Vegeta are back!! While the Broly movies were no doubt good, they were no also no doubt centered mostly on Trunks and Goten. Enough of the runts, what about their dads?? Well Akira Toriyama responded with this, and as usual he amazes his fans. Like most DBZ films, the film doesn't really fit into the anime's continuity because somehow both Vegeta and Goku are dead and yet Majin Boo has already been defeated (???). Well, when do they go along with the seasons, aside the references and cameos of course?? Speaking of cameos, Frieza makes an appearance, only to be killed off by Gohan in a flash, a great scene if you ask me. This one is a lot more comical than "Wrath of the Dragon" but the jokes are no less appreciated. SS2 Vegeta and SS3 Goku go up against Janemba, a villain who is not only powerful but can affect reality itself. Incredible battles ensue and this certainly qualifies as one of the best DBZ movies. Vegeta even gets his own emotional tad bit and after the hilarious 'Veku' scene we finally see Gogeta. His short screen time is by far my favorite scene in the whole movie and watching him unleash his finisher (which I'm not too sure about the name. It's either the "Soul Punisher" or "Stardust Breaker") was incredible! I actually like the American music, although the Japanese music is also pretty entertaining itself. I must say though, Funimation did a great job remastering these films both visually and audio-wise. Thanks to them these classics look better than ever!!

Actually, most Dragon Ball Z movies are very average this one is not here, however he has the same shortage.
for a real movie, the run length is just too short and does not leave enough room for more.
This one is without much hesitation one of the better films and even belongs to my favorites. Because this film contains exciting fights great atmosphere a super interesting drawing style comma above all the representations and drawings on earth are very unusual Dragon Ball but still so beautifully stylized that they are fun. In addition, this movie has something that was unfortunately in Dragon Ball Z too short humor and I like that.
In addition, it is very straightforward and visually well explained so that we can understand quickly and for everyone is that is one thing I am more of filming desires and the self-playing live action films goes down the first five minutes are so self-explanatory and so simple for my taste, a little bit fast, but so unproblematic that I really ask the question why you are so rarely used.
Actually, this movie is a must have for all Dragonball Z fans as well because he was a much better ending to the Boo saga concept and the idea and in addition I have to say Janemba is one of my favorite movie villains ever and that Concept is so unique in that you can interpret so much that I am completely fascinated and unfortunately a bit disappointed that it is so rarely shown.

Dragon Ball Z: Revival Fusion (1995) is a short 51m DBZ Action movie directed by Shigeyasu Yamauchi.
The movie's plot is BASIC and WEAK. The film had POTENTIAL with the whole "the dead come back to life" idea, but it was POORLY executed. The villain was your classic 0 DEPTH random "bad guy" that you have to defeat. The FIGHTING SCENES were pretty GOOD, but there was WAY TOO MUCH HUMOR, so the feeling of DANGER wasn't present in the story...
Conclusion: Dragon Ball Z: Revival Fusion (1995) is NOT one of my favorite DBZ movies. I DID NOT enjoy it...

This is perhaps the greatest of the Dragon Ball Z movies. This one being the 12th one, Akira Toriyama had a lot of previous skill. Perhaps the 13th movie, Dragon Fist Explosion, is a little bit better than this, but they are both great. Perhaps the best part is when Janemba is fat and nice and junk, but then gets interesting. Be sure to see this movie, you can get it at a Japanese videostore or buy it off of eBay... Hope this helps!!!

(some spoilers. Read with caution)
After the horrible movie eleven, I thought good DBZ films were gone for good. Luckily, this one proves me wrong. From the looks of it, this film takes place shortly after the events of the eleventh movie, and focuses on the DBZ characters who are still dead at this point(Goku, Vegeta, and the anime-exclusive Paikuhan). When the evil spirits take over one careless soul, they cause the afterlife to get screwed up, as well as dead souls to come back to life. Frieza once again returns to screw with everybody's heads(how many times do they have to kill him!?), and is of course killed again. Goku fights it out with the evil spirits, which have taken the form of a demon named Janemba, but after he changes into his second form our hero is defeated. Vegeta shows up and saves Goku at the last minute, but he too is beaten. Goku then realizes that there's only one way for them to beat Janemba: Fusion.
This film is a good balance of action and humor, unlike the horrible movie 7. The fights are good, but the comedy is even better! Funny scenes include a reunion between Romeo and Juliet(apparently, Romeo didn't die in this timeline), Hitler trying to take over the world again, and fighting Goten and Trunks as a result(I love it when he calls them punks when they go SSJ and he thinks they dyed their hair!), and a funny nod to Captain Ginyu the Frog. However, the icing on the cake is when Goku and Vegeta try to fuse. They fail the first time, creating an idiotic, fat Gogeta. As a result, we get a HILARIOUS scene of Fat Gogeta getting beaten up by Janemba. This scene is so funny! I never remember laughing so much! This scene alone is worth the price of the film!
There's only one real complaint I have. Gogeta(after being fused correctly) beats Janemba too quickly. I would have loved seeing a long, cool fight scene between the two. But with the humor, it can be overlooked.
BOTTOM LINE: You will be laughing your head off.
