Shit is the perfect description for this film. Easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I didn't even watch Dragon Ball Z as a kid and I'm still offended by this abomination.
Wow... Just wow...
I just Ka-me-ha-me-ha'ed in my pants after watching this masterful adaptation. The source material was something I lost interest in after a few seasons when I realized I could waste my time in more entertaining ways than watching protracted fights and characters powering up.
In this tour de force, James Wong and Ben Killa Ramsey translate Akira Toriyama's larger than life Dragon Ball universe into a more grounded cinematic vision. This is akin to what Christopher Nolan did with Batman and The Dark Knight Trilogy or what Rod Amateau did with Garbage Pail Kids and The Garbage Pail Kids Movie. This Goku, is a white high school kid with an asian grandfather which ignites all those weeb…
The way I gasped desperately and cursed this movie amount of time...

Imagine how tired we are
you know when you go through trauma and you repress those memories in order to protect yourself from the pain and discomfort it would cause you to remember? Well that's exactly what happened to me with this movie, as I just now remembered to log in this piece of shit

TASK #3: A film adaptation that’s a complete betrayal of the source material!
0/10 film.
I love Dragon Ball. I know Dragon Ball. I grew up with Dragon Ball. This film is anything but Dragon Ball. Dragonball: Evolution was originally supposed to have Stephen Chow attached to direct, but he decided to be a producer instead. Ben Ramsey, director of the Michael Jai White DTV action film Blood & Bone, was hired to write a script, despite Ramsey admitting that he’s not a Dragonball fan. Sure, FOX, get a guy who doesn’t know the source material that much to write your adaptation. Ramsey’s script was deemed too expensive to shoot, so FOX ordered studio-mandated rewrites,…
THE FOLLOWING IS BROUGHT TO YOU BYJacob
Oh, Dragonball Evolution. My dear, Dragonball evolution. The film that was, the film that wanted and the film that never could.
Oh, Dragonball Evolution. A product of its time, that did everything it could to capture the slapstick sensibilities of its animated counterpart, but feel miserably, because you see honey, you are a nihilistic stuff of Hollywood who hoped to capture some bucks by exploiting a popular (trademark if you are from Latin America) 90s TV show. And differently to, say, Death Note or Ghost In The Shell, at least you try to bring some representation in many of the roles, except the most important ones like... you know... the lead?
Oh, Dragonball…
This movie is to Dragonball what live action Bulma's blue streak is to anime Bulma's blue hair.
