Movie Title: Dragonball: Evolution Dragonball: Evolution is available for streaming or downloading. |
I have been a fan of Dragonball for years. I have the anime from Dragonball to Dragonball GT. But after seeing this so called movie I felt apart of my childhood destoryed within a hour and 30 minutes. So where do I begin? Well first, the Story was a mess there was little to nothing about Dragonball in it, and the pace felt rushed. There was no time for any plot development, or character development. Basically You meet Goku, then Bulma, Roshi, Yamacha and then final battle. So you can’t get to know the characters, and understand why they are on this quest to collect all 7 Dragonballs before Piccolo. Also, it felt Fox was using other material from other famous movies and cartoon shows. Films like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, ans some materical from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Plus the movie never explain som important factors, for example, how does Piccolo escape his imprisonment, how does he hook up with Mai, How can Mai shape shift, Why does Piccolo need the Dragonball and so on. Second problem with this movie is the actors. Poorly casted, and they poorly portray their characters. For example; Justin Chatwin makes Goku sound and act like Robbie (played by Chatwin) in War of the Worlds. He does want to take on this mission to save the world, complains all the time and tries to hit on girls. Please if you have see the manga or anime you know Goku isn’t like that at all. He stand for good and justice and all the heroic stuff; many Main characters stand for. Thrid, the speical effects look like some thing for the late 80s or early 90s. I can tell you used guide wires and the Kai or engery waves looked fake. I mean come on Look at Iron Man when Tony shots the glass in his lab they looked more realist then what you see in this movie. To rap this review up after watching Dragonball Evolution you don’t feel they put any effort in this movie, they don’t want to please the fans, or get people who don’t know what Dragonball is into the series, no Fox did it to make a qucik Buck. So I say Skip It.
Being unfamiliar with the graphic novels, anime, or video games that have made the Dragonball saga a world-wide sensation, I viewed “Dragonball: Evolution” with an open mind, hoping to see the kind of frenetic martial arts, magic, and humor I had enjoyed in “Mortal Kombat”, a few years back. Well…”Mortal Kombat” this ain’t, and despite the presence of legendary “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” star, Chow Yun-Fat (who must have needed the paycheck), I can’t recommend this turkey to anyone over the age of 4!

The plot is confusing; thousands (or 2,000) years ago, an insane demon lord, Piccolo (if somebody named me that, I’d be pretty mad, too), and his evil right-hand demon, Ozaru, nearly destroyed the world, until he was bound within the earth by seven sorcerors who gave their lives creating the mystical Dragonball orbs that focused their energies. Now, with a ‘blood moon’ total solar eclipse approaching, Piccolo (an unrecognizable James Marsters) is somehow free (how he accomplished that isn’t explained), and gathering up the Dragonballs (which, together, according to legend, will allow the possessor the fulfillment of one ‘perfect’ wish). He plans to use it to release Ozaru, and finish what he started, before (uh, if any wish would be granted, why not simply WISH the job to be finished?)
Meanwhile, in true “Karate Kid” fashion, young Goku (Justin Chatwin) is being trained by his Asian grandfather (Randall Duk Kim) martial arts, and harnassing The Force (oops, I mean, his Ki). Goku’s past is unknown to him (to be revealed on his 18th birthday), and to celebrate the birthday, Grandpa gives him a Dragonball (which flashes images of Ozaru to him). Of course, Goku cannot display his formidable skills to his high school classmates (even the hot Asian girl he secretly likes, Chi Chi, played by pretty Jamie Chung). With the violent death of the old man, Goku learns of Piccolo’s quest, and races to gather all the Dragonballs, himself, joined by greedy Bulma (Emmy Rossum, who must have needed the paycheck, also), a thief, Yamcha (Joon Park), and happy-go-lucky Master, Roshi (Chow Yun-Fat). The story goes downhill, from here…First the Dragonballs are all-important, then they’re not, then Chi Chi is revealed as a martial arts expert, who isn’t very formidible, then (with very unimpressive CGI), Goku’s ’secret’ is revealed, but it turns out IT isn’t that essential, anyway. The story keeps building to less-than-overwhelming climaxes, with a finale that had me wondering why I’d stuck with the film so long!

The Special Features are so-so (the gag reel is funny, an interview with Justin Chatwin doesn’t really provide much more insight than a Google search, and a ‘Making of’ featurette of the Chi Chi vs. Chi Chi fight scene is informative, although the scene isn’t the lynchpin of the movie that it is implied as).
“Dragonball: Evolution” is a poor movie…skip it, you won’t be missing anything!
