Based on the renowned Japanese manga/anime franchise, the live-action DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION follows the adventures of young Goku (Justin Chatwin of WAR OF THE WORLDS), who is drawn into the legacy of the mystical spheres of the title, and trains to become a powerful warrior with the aid of the wise but lewd Master Roshi (Chow Yun-Fat) and the weapons-loving Bulma (Emmy Rossum), among others. This small band of fighters must face off against the evil warlord Piccolo (James Marsters) and his minions to avert the end of the world.
I was invited to go see this in theaters, even though I promised myself I would never see this movie. I could already tell it was going to tip toe and splash in and out of what Dragonball was truly supposed to portray. I will say this was one of the worst movies I have seen in the year 2009, I regret seeing it. But at least I never have to see it again. I have seen other peoples reviews and I being a fan of Dragonball was seriously disappointed. First off the casting was a tad lame, Roshi was a disappointment in the fact that he was so strong in the cartoon but in the movie he seemed like more of a hindrance. I didn't like the modern theme they threw into the movie, with the speculation of word of mouth before the movie was released people were saying Flying nimbus was the yellow car. That wasn't the case and even though Gohan was supposed to die by Goku, They thought they would make it short and sweet and let Piccolo off him. Bulma should have been younger in fact the entire cast should have been younger. Chi Chi was already a fighter and what Goku couldn't let her know about his powers until she mentioned something to him about Ki? I had a lot of issues with this film and gave so much disappointment I could only wish others learn from my mistake, Don't see it.
