Best comedy, ever!

I know it isn't but from the very beginning, I found the film very much unintentionally hilarious.

Yes, I know that the TV series, had their moments of humor, but the live action takes it to the next level.

A direct comparison, would be Super Mario Bros and Double Dragon, both awesomely bad, and both worth checking out if you like really ... 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 ... read more

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... read more

“If you are a Dragon Ball fan I recommend ya to not watch it but if you must watch it, prepare yourself a medal afterwards. Said medal should be hidden away in some other 'planet'. I find appalling how Toriyama let his name be associated with this million dollar mess, I would sue 20th Century Fox ^^ (I'm sure someone would create some fund to help the 'efforts' XD).” read more

“Esta película es tan mala que muchísima gente ha olvidado que llegó a existir. Es el ejemplo perfecto de cómo NO hacer una cinta licenciada, se nota a kilómetros que la realizaron sin tener ningún conocimiento del material original a sabiendas de que vendería por el solo hecho de llamarse "Dragon Ball".

PD: aún al sol de hoy me da risa el Piccolo azul.” read more
