I saw the movie and I was disappointed. I am a huge Dragonball and Dragonball Z and I have been waiting for a live action movie for years and I was treated to this huge piece of crap. Dragonball Evolution isn't... Full review

I personally have only an outline of the Dragonball storyline. But, from what I understand, Dragonball was just a title, and explanation of character attributes in this pitiful piece of sensor bar. It was made up of a painful storyline with... Full review
This is a total butchering of what I had held great hopes of seeing. The movies attempts to follow the dragon ball story line, meanwhile adding a "modern" spin on it (ie. chi chi's castle, and Master Roshi lives in a... Full review

For manga and anime fans around the world, the story of Dragonball has to be at the top, or at least in the top 3 of their most beloved manga/anime stories ever written. There is already an existing live action Dragonball... Full review

If you haven't had enough with "The day the earth stood still" then make way for DRAGONBALL: Cheap EVOLUTION into a joke. I mean seriously what was the whole cast and crew thinking while making a movie out of legendary Dragonball... Full review

This movie is just plain disappointing to say the least. I don't care if this is an adaptation of Dragonball. The only reason why I gave it a 3 out of 10 rating was for the special effects and production value... Full review
This is just what you expect.

Now, all I can say first off is this is exactly what you thought it would be. Hollywood took a popular Japanese anime, and turned it into an American teenager popcorn flick. If you are upset when a movie does not... Full review

Dragonball Evolution is a film so bad....The film is hollow, strange, and ultimately a failure on all counts.....the dialogue is painfully dreadful.....Only the film's romance carries any weight at all, fueled by the efforts and charisma of actors Justin Chatwin and Jamie Chung ;.... ...

It's really just an excuse for impressive visual effects and intriguing costume designs....altogether overlooked, which essentially leaves us with a fairly bland action adventure story that throws in a little self-discovery for good measure..... ... Full Review
