Dragonball: Evolution (Dragonball) (2009)

I was a fan of Dragonball, and when this movie was announced, I got hyped, well, that was until I saw the advertising for this movie, then I thought "hmm, it doesn't look like Dragonball, but I hope I can be entertained by this movie", however, I wasn't, the fight scenes were lacking, the acting was horrid (Justin Chatwin can't act to save his life), and the special effects are worse than the effects in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (a movie that I had more fun watching than this garbage), if you're a fan of the comic book or the TV show, then stay away from this, if you're just a regular moviegoer, then get ready for a drinking game.

I was never a big fan but I always tought the movie would suck anyway. I'm a big fan of Justin Chatwin which made me watch this movie and get all disappointed. The storyline was so crunched, so resumed that it was hard to follow or understand the real reason behind their journey and it all sounded like a joke. The first 30 minutes to an obvious introduction and the last 57 to look and fight with the bad guy. Not worth it at all but this wasn't a surprise.

Wow, not bad. I'm basing my judgment by anime to live-action adaption standards, mind you. Jamie Chung (Chi Chi) being cute as a button doesn't hurt either. Definitely not a disaster. For all the changes they made (the movie was adapted from the manga, technically), it was still pretty faithful to the source. Chow Yun-fat seemed to be enjoying himself playing the goofball Master Roshi; channeling all the comedies he did in the eighties, perhaps. James Marster was good, and he wasn't exactly lost under the make-up, but there wasn't really that much to do with the role of Piccolo except glower. He glowered well. Emmy Rossum as Bulma was suitably feisty. Justin Chatwin's Goku wasn't chipper enough (plenty angsty, though), but otherwise he was fine. The fights were alright. ...Read more

It's called evolution because it's not exactly the same as the Tv Series. We see its main character - Goku - studying at school, with troubles with his classmates. That can be offensive for any fan of the TV series, but Dragonball Evolution must be analyzed for its own. And it's a ridiculous movie that could be considered a mix between Shaolin Soccer and Volcano High. But in this movie there's no fun, no good action scenes, and the special effects may have been created by a newbye with Adobe AfterEffects. Moreover, the story is quite silly. Everything that was interesting in the Tv series has been pulled out, and the new script has added things like an eclipse or an story about a "chosen". The TV series fans will feel dissapointed and insulted, but any other spectator will walk out of ...Read more
