I loved Dragonball Z when i was a kid it was the greatest TV show on earth so naturally i expected Dragonball Evolution to be worth something but the harsh reality is that the movie is simply worthless. The acting is beyond terrible it's either too over the top or too wooden. The script is inconclusive, poorly paced, and full of awful dialogue. The action is terribly choreographed with no style and poor adobe after effects type CGI. What a waste of $120 million dollars look at how much something like 300 did with a $60 million dollar budget and compare it to this monsterosity.

Sadly they turn Dragonball into a modernized teen drama with martial arts it feels like a kung fu version of She's All That with Goku being bullied at school and beating on the jocks to impress Chi Chi at a party. Everything feels rushed and random Piccolo has no personality, no motive and no screen time he just lurks in a random lair in the sky. The characters are ripped to shreds Goku is not even a saiyan nope he is a human possessed by oozaru from Piccolo's doing. Ozzaru looks like a werewolf out of Van Helsing by the way. Sadly this film had potential i was desperate to like this but sadly i could not. Justin Chatwin was moderatly hot, and Bulma's leather jacket and guns were sexy but that's about all the movie has going for it. Dragonball Evolution isn't even direct to DVD worthy.

    Its ticks me off so freaking much why didnt they just stick with the original story krillin wasnt even in this movie they shoulda used a 10 year old with big hair like that kid from Jerry Maguire idk if hes old enough yet or not but dang he would be perfect die his hair black and at the beginning of the movie show his grandpa cutting and styling it so that it would look normal and not so wacky because you really cant copy the anime hair it would look odd so thats perfect was to start the movie the rest needs to be original from the anime.

    Raul's right darlin always better to write it out on micro word so that way jus in case yer review blinks out without saving ya got a backup. happened ta me couple times on this site. good review though we get the jest of what your sayin. this movie sucks, i watched Dragon Ball as a kid and was floored when i seen the way they butcherd these classic characters. almost reminicent of Street fighter: the movie

    Alundra, a word of advice. Type your reviews in a word doc*ment or something besides just the movieweb review slot. Half the time, when you submit a review, it glitches, and you lose your whole review. Type in Microsoft Word or an Email doc*ment then copy and paste it over. Took me 3 times rewriting my Big Lebowski review before I figured that one out.

    All that aside, I was never much of a DBZ fan. I remember watching a few episodes when I was younger, and I thought it was pretty badass. Apparently though, this film is not. Great review.

    ps. The upside of Microsoft word.....it has spellcheck. =)
