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 ;.... ...

Too bad the movie's also really stupid.....It's honestly like someone at Fox watched a YouTube video making fun of Dragonball....the movie seems confused and unsure of the details.....is a bad movie....stuck in theaters with a fresh coating of awful CGI..... ... Full Review

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

Completely lacking in visual, narrative or stylistic coherence, Dragonball Evolution also suffers from cheap-looking visual effects....Not helping matters is the problematic casting..... ... Full Review

a good movie.....The non-stop action, while awesome in many ways, is also the movie's biggest problem.....I found it to be pretty darn entertaining, and not as silly (or stupid) as you would probably expect.....me a lot of the story was glossed over.....However, for your average moviegoer, Dragonball.... ...
