well this week i decided to go to a movie... and so i chose Dragonball Evolution, strictly due to the fact that the trailers had made the Movie seem like a complete flop, but then i saw a clip from the movie that made me curious, so i figured i got nothing better to do, and it is only 6 bucks, what the hell i will do it, worse case scenario it is a train wreck, best case it try to be 100% faithful.
well i went and i must say the movie is actually not bad, it never takes it's self seriously, and while it is missing some of the support charicters like Krillin, Tien, Chou Su, Puar, Ox King, Oolong, and Yajirobe, which were not really missed (even though Krillin was my favorite charicter in the sereis), personally i wished that they had left out Bulma, and Yamcha as their acting was horrible. Goku and Chi Chi do a great job of carrying the movie, playing out alot like the part of DBZ where Gohan tries wooing Videll. The best part of this movie, and most of its best moments came when Master Roshii (Played by Chow Yun Fat) is on screen, and his performance is show stealing, he clearly had the time of his life playing this role, and it shows on film it was almost the type of performance we have come to expect out of Jackie Chan in recent years.
all in all if you are looking for a fun movie to see, give it a shot, you could do a whole lot worse, just don't expect much for sticking to the cannon of the cartoon.

Have to then come back wait for the wife to finish work then go back again to watch Crank.
Am glad its not completely shit, but at the same time i think it would make it funnier watching an abortion on screen.
My only question is why they would try to produce it the way they did if they didn't have the money for special effects or good fight choreography. Like its sooooo bad, why did they even bother?
So, me and a friend got in the theater it was playing in, and we and a poor family with two young ones screaming KAMEHAMEHA, were the only ones there.
I had just finished watching those abridged things on youtube, so I couldn't do anything but make references to them the entire time.
Yamcha was awesome.
I was actually offended that i didnt find it as bad as i had hoped.
Dont get me wrong it was bad, but i had fun with it. Chow Yun Fat is raggo as always.
In the first 10 seconds, I saw that Goku was old and that Gohan was alive and I'm like wait what? Gohan should be dead.
It was mostly disappointing from there. Might have been better if it was subbed. If only because it sounds so ridiculous when american actors talk about DBZ stuff in english.
