Plots(1)
Based on the renowned Japanese manga/anime franchise, the live-action DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION follows the adventures of young Goku (Justin Chatwin), 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. (official distributor synopsis)

Animated it must work, I firmly believe that, but as a 100-minute film it just doesn't work very well. Everything happens so suspiciously fast, the speed at which the film shows the images is ridiculously fast. Plus, it doesn't have a lot of likable characters either... And I still made my way to the next episode :-D It's definitely a shame that I was bored with it, I didn't want to be, I tried to make the boredom go away, but somehow it didn't work... Such a pity.

I didn’t plan on watching this, but as I was flipping through channels, an action scene caught my eye and stopped me for a moment. Before I knew it, I was stuck watching the whole thing... thankfully, it was short. Honestly, I only stuck around to see how ridiculous things would get—people acting like idiots, lightning flying everywhere, and bizarre magic battles. I’ll admit, I felt genuinely embarrassed for the entire runtime. It was like I was in some sort of fever dream, wondering how anyone came up with this mess in the first place.
