Dragonball Evolution (DVD, 2009, Z-Edition)

James Wong, Justin Chatwin, Emmy Rossum|Theatrical release: 2009 | Rating: PG (MPAA)

Movie synopsis

Based on the renowned Japanese manga/anime franchise, the live-action DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION follows the adventures of young Goku (Justin Chatwin of WAR OF THE WORLDS), 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.The first Hollywood feature-film adaptation of the venerable DRAGONBALL series, EVOLUTION is helmed by director James Wong (FINAL DESTINATION, THE ONE) with a nod to the playful work of coproducer Stephen Chow (KUNG FU HUSTLE). A movie where visual effects and plot easily eclipse the acting and script, EVOLUTION will appeal to those seeking a combat-heavy spectacle, though the presence of Yun Fat, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER alum Marsters, and former reality-TV star Jamie Chung help to elevate the proceedings. Although diehard fans may not be pleased with the film, which misses peak DRAGONBALL popularity by about 15 years, EVOLUTION, like its fellow 2009 movie STREET FIGHTER: THE LEGEND OF CHUN-LI, serves as fine entertainment for ardent martial-arts/video-game enthusiasts and tween boys.

amazing action family movie

Created: 11/06/10
I am a HUGE Justin Chatwin fan, and he did amazing in this. There were tons of bad reviews of this, especially since he doesn't 'look' like Goku, but I think he played the part perfectly. The storyline is great, and there are some parts of it i wanted to watch over and over. Its a movie you can watch with your whole movie. I bought it because I saw it twice and absolutely had to have it with my other Justin Chatwin movies :)

From a stand point based on original show

Created: 12/03/11
Very disappointed, the characters looked nothing like the show. If I had never seen dragonball on tv my review would be different. But since I have seen the show which I like a lot, this film was an insult to original show. The original show is impressive with its dialog and attacks. The movie was lame, a poor attempt.

Awesome for Diehard Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fans!

Created: 10/01/10
Overall, The movie was excellent given from what standards it had to take from - an action/comic trilogy. The actors/actresses were very well, the story line was a tad off but overall it was excellent and explained the main points. They could have made it longer, and more detailed but I think they are off to a good start. If you are a diehard Dragon Ball fan of the trilogy, then I do recommend this as it brings the real human characteristics to the saga. I hope they make more that take on more of the actual/real story lines, especially for Dragon Ball Z.
