Dragonball Evolution MovieI’ve voiced my opinion about this movie many, many times in previous posts, but I’ve lightened up a bit, and I’m actually looking forward to seeing it…a little. I’m more looking forward to it, just because I loved Dragonball and Dragonball Z growing up, and I’ve missed it ever since it ended.

I know this movie is not a 100% true to source adaptation, but Justin says in the interview, “This isn’t Dragonball. It’s Dragonball Evolution.” That’s actually a pretty good argument for all the criticism from the fans. I don’t have high expectations of this movie, but I’m seeing it nonetheless.

Dragonball Evolution hits theaters on April 10th. Watch the cast interviews below…

    I'm upset they chose to cut me out of the movie. I'm Goku's best friend! I have a shiny head too!
  • The Truth
    They ruined my childhood with this movie, I have no idea how the director thought this abomination was passable as a film. I would rather watch The Happening again than watch this film, and The Happening was horrible! Please Hollywood, PLEASE! Stop feeding us this trash, because eventually we'll shit it out on your face!

    I had a computer crunch the numbers and heres what it came up with...

    Story:0%
    Not one single story line concept was adapted from the DB series, not a single stinking one.

    Characters:0%
    Nobody's personality matched or even came close to matching the personalities of their anime counterparts. Not a single stinking one.

    Atmosphere:0%
    Revamped for a unimaginative and culturally ignorant audience. I'm not insulting you, they did.

    Special Effects:0%
    Look, making a freaking beam of light doesnt need a supercomputer anymore, If low budget TV pilots can pull decent CG effects why couldn't this movie stay true. Fact; it was pure ignorance, not money, that led to these kinds of decisions. Don't believe me still? Google 'the hunt for gollum'.

    Naming:100%
    The only thing they got right, the copyrights were handled by lawyers, who are probably the only DB fans considering they got the names correct. Good job guys!

    Promotion:(who cares?)
    DB took the world by storm, without freaking razor TV spots, or Superbowl ads, this movie flopped because the same fans that helped spread DB across the globe did not recommend this movie.

    The numbers don't lie, this movie was an insult and from now on DB fans will have to cover up for this train wreck.

    coworker: You liked Dragon Ball? Wow...
    me: The anime or the movie?
    coworker: The anime? Is there a difference?

    Thanks...
