Akira Toriyama may be the original creator of Dragon Ball, but he never wrote a single episode of the anime until Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F. Resurrection F marked the first time Toriyama rolled out an entire screenplay for a film.

Even Battle of Gods was written by Yusuke Watanabe and revised by Toriyama. Resurrection F was the first time Toriyama ever wrote a full screenplay for anything besides the original manga.

Which of the two films do you prefer?
