I don't like DBZ at all so when I was on a 9 hour plane ride to Greece I thought I could enjoy this as a dumb action movie, I was wrong! I couldn't get through 10 minutes of this garbage fire, I even tried watching it with the volume off so I can ignore the horrible dialogue but I still couldn't get throught it. No joke I just decided to stare at a black screen for about a half hour until I fell asleep on the plane.

Dragonball Evolution a motion picture that tells the story of Goku, adopted and trained Gohan. In a race to save the world from annihilation frin the evil Piccolo, he teams up with motion picture equivalents of Bulma, Roshi and Yamcha. Chi Chi also makes a nice appearance. The script tries to narrow down volumes of Dragonball comic books into a cinematic movie. Considering this movie lasts less than 2 hours, its an honest try. If you watch the movie trying to cover all the gimicks, characters and details out of the comic books, you will be disappointed. If not angry. This is a motion picture, and no way will it ever be able to encompass all of the details and love from the comics books. Keep that in mind, when you sit down and press play.In retrospective, the script writer and special effects team could have done themselves a few easy favors. Details that could have been added to make a poor movie a bit more credible and a lot more loyal to the comic books and animated series:When Gokus Reverts to his Saiyan self, he turns into an angry looking werewolf rather than a monstrous ape. I recommend the team study the incredible Hulk, either in the 00's movies or in Avengers. -The Lookout (Kami-sama no Shinden) has been reduced to a semi sized hindenburg space wessel rather than the religious outpost I recall.The cosmetics team could've done a lot more to make Piccolo look properly. Instead of the dark body armor, a proper Namekian atire would've made it much easier to link the movie character to the books. Apart from his clothing, his demeanor and expressions are still very far from the Picolo I know. To me the movie character resembled darth maul more than my favorite green alien.Evil Piccolos defeat also marks the birth of Piccolo Jr. The Namek we all love so dearly. A small happy ending detail that could've added a nice touch.Wheres the tournament? We get a brief glimpse of the worlds martial arts tournament. Nothing builds up suspense and drama like martial arts tournaments. The tournament would've made such an easy and dramatic way to introduce the many chararcters in the Dragon Ball universe. The movie misses out on a perfect opportunity to turn a youthful pervy master Roshi into the old funny fart we all love. In the movie he completes the Mafu Ba, trying to capture evil King Piccolo. In the proces he is derived of his life force. Rather than dying from it, the movie could have let him age considerably. That would twist the movie script onto tha tof the comic books.Those are just a few details, that would've helped convince me a bit more.

One of the worst movies ever made and a disgrace to the Dragon Ball z I just have nothing to say about it

As a child, I was always a fan of Dragon Ball franchise. I watched every episodes and movie. When I heard about this movie, I was excited that the film came out, but when I watched the video, I can describe it as awful. Almost everything from the movie sucks. The characters are all bunch of phonies that don't know to act. They all contradict the story. It changed Goku from a caring person who works hard all the time into a high schooler obsessed with girls and have no friends. The movie is not Dragon Ball. It is just a story with terrible graphics, low-quality plot, and very few characters. A waste of time and a disgrace to all Dragon Ball fans.
