Dragonball Evolution Review

I was bored the last three weeks, so just for the hell of it, I saw this live action anime film. It wasn’t a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it still was an entertaining flick.

The effects weren’t god awful, I actually quite liked the famous Kamehameha Wave at the end. Not so much of the anticlimax or the constant life lesson. As an adaptation goes, almost all of the aspects are mediocre. The high school setting is just been done to death. Felt more like a TV pilot that went to the big screen, which is exactly what Clone Wars was last year.

Chow Yun-Fat did do a decent job as Master Roshi. The problem is Goku’s uncle is much older then him and it was said Roshi trained him. Should’ve thrown on the makeup from Bulletproof Monk for some kind of measure.

I didn’t mind the changes to Piccolo or Bulma. Unfortunately, like Season 7 of Smallville, James Marsters is once again given the shaft with very little to work with.

Rating: 5 1/2.
