Product Description

Based on one of the most popular Japanese manga series of all time, Dragonball: Evolution follows a young warrior on an epic adventure to discover his destiny...and save the world from the forces of darkness. For his eighteenth birthday, mild-mannered Goku is given a mystical Dragonball, one of only seven in existence, which combine to grant a perfect wish to whoever possesses them. But an ancient warlord named Piccolo has escaped eternal imprisonment and is on his own quest to gather the Dragonballs. Goku must enlist the help of his friends--and the power of his evolving martial arts skills--to defeat Piccolo before it's too late! Packed with spectacular visual effects, high-flying action, and over an hour of hard-hitting extras, Dragonball: Evolution Z-Edition brings the legend to life like never before!

Amazon.com

Co-produced by Hong Kong legend Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle), Dragonball Evolution is an agreeable if low-wattage live action adaptation of the iconic manga and anime series Dragon Ball. Director James Wong fuses the series’ fantasy-based characters and devices with a somewhat lackluster storyline involving average teen Goku (Justin Chatwin), who breaks from his wholesale pining for classmate Chi-Chi (Jamie Chung) to that he’s at the center of an intergalactic search for the all-powerful Dragonballs by evil warlord Piccolo (Buffy’s James Marsters). With the help of master Roshi (Chow Yun-Fat, who backburners his stoic screen image in favor of some God of Gamblers/Once a Thief-level hamminess), Goku develops his fighting skills to take on Piccolo and save the Earth. The film’s abundance of martial arts should please younger and less discerning viewers, but its hackneyed dialogue and sluggish pace (especially in the fight scenes, which stutter where they should flow) may disappoint longtime fans of the book and television adaptations. The CGI effects, which labor mightily to reproduce the source material’s eye-popping look, also fall short, though the cast is game, especially Marsters and Chow. -- Paul Gaita

DB fan since birth, the movie is a 9.1 here's why

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2022

ULTIMATE DB DBZ DBS FAN I play the DBSTCG and all the games watch all the shows/movies and even the manga. If this movie would have been called something else ppl might not have hated it so much, its synonymous I think with the Avatar live action because it was around the same time kinda so I feel thats where a lot of resentment comes from. As well if youre a die hard fan the film takes liberties/leaps that go off/diverge hardcore from the source material which might make you hate this film. I feel like 90% of ppl hated it without even seeing it. I just saw it for the first time today. I have to be honest, I loved this movie. It's far from perfect but no stakes attached going into it with the lowest of the lowest expectations I guess there wasn't anywhere else to go but up.

Its way better than all the transformers movies put together, the CGI is actually better than the new Matrix 4 movie in many ways. The actors were very likeable like Yamcha and Roshi- they do stupid things like make Roshi wear green contacts but the biggest nerds of all time are BSG fans and we all know CPT Adama wore green contacts- and- you get over it if you like it- is my point. The film does stuff like that but just like watching Deadpool- I'm never gonna watch that movie cause to me its juvenile and stupid - but Deadpool is I guess supposed to be watched as a silly dumb action movie, not as something serious. If you think youre gonna get some serious movie with a deep message Deadpool isnt your movie. Same here with DB:E its all about expectations. I feel like the movie was a lot of fun, I laughed throughout the entire thing, some stuff just straight up fell flat like some scenes wont spoil but overall I give the movie a 9.1 out of 10.

TBH I would have given it an almost perfect score like Departed or Sopranos or Godfather *(weird that all the bst stuff is mafia stuff lol) but the movie was not perfect. I mean its so much fun to see the intro where Goku is in high school, I mean we all loved it in Spider Man, I know it diverges but its still great fun. On that note it is meant for an audience maybe a little bit more mature also cause it deals a lot with like late-teen drama and early college drama and relationship stuff that the original show barely touches on.

Going into this movie its all about expectations and assumptions. Its hard to not have a bias that this movies gonna be trash if you havent seen it especially with the bad reputation it has received. But if you watch this as a movie to like make fun of maybe, thats how I jumped in I was just gonna skip around and ended up watching the whole thing straight you might have a lot of fun. Its gonna diverge- you already know that by now in 2021. You have been warned. But imo this movie was very very good.

Dragon Ball Evolution: Is it really worth the hate?

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2013

Verified Purchase

When I had first heard of a Dragon Ball live action film, I was stoked. "Finally, I get to see Goku blow s*** up and fight in hyper speed!" The teaser trailer alone had me hyped up! I was wondering how much work they were gonna put in the movie, how cool the effects were gonna be, how amazing the fights would look!.....then the movie came out and was bashed into the ground like cheap five dollar hooker on a bad day. This movie has been nitpicked, bashed, and had been utterly destroyed by everyone, from movie critics to random fanboys and fangirls you find on YouTube, people have been complaining non stop: "They have white people playing as the Dragon Ball characters!" "Piccolo is not green enough!" "It wasn't as fast as the anime!"

But is it really that big of a train wreck? Is this movie worthy of putting it on the shelf of s*** movies in between `Street Fighter the Legend of Chun-Li' and `Batman and Robin'?

First off, the cast. Why are people making a big deal about this? I mean sure, they could have gotten other actors besides Justin Chatwin for Goku or Jamie Chung for Chi Chi, but they got some pretty good actors to play the part. As for James Marsters, he did a fantastic job as Piccolo being the evil bastard he is (or if you want to get technical, the evil bastard he used to be). As for the race for the characters on Earth, there technically is no race on Earth besides Earthlings or humans. And no, just because Dragon Ball Z was made in Japan doesn't mean that the characters are Japanese as well. That's like saying every character made in the U.S. in Marvel comics are only Caucasian, it makes no sense. Chow Yun Fat did a great job as Master Roshi, it looked like he was haveing fun with it too what with the overacting he did, but that's what made me enjoy it more.

Story now, is something to discuss about: Two thousand years ago, the demon Piccolo came to Earth, wreaking havoc with his minion Ozaru. Seven mystics created the Mafuba and thought they sealed him away for eternity. Piccolo breaks free and begins to search for the seven Dragon Balls (each one has stars numbering between one and seven), killing anyone in his way. While that's happening, Goku is given the 4-Star Dragon Ball by his grandfather on his 18th birthday before he goes to high school. Returning home from a party hosted by his crush Chi Chi, Goku finds his home destroyed and his grandfather near death after Piccolo's failed attempt to acquire the Dragonball. Before Gohan dies, he tells Goku to seek out martial arts master Muten Roshi, who has another one of the Dragonballs. Along the way, Goku meets Bulma of the Capsule Corporation, and eventually also meets Yamcha. Together, they try to find all seven Dragon Balls before Piccolo finds them. Now that sounds like a regular plot now doesn't it? Because I really don't know what people are bitching about when it came to the plot. And no, I ain't giving away the ending, you have to watch the movie for that. It's a basic tale of a small band of heroes that meet up under different circumstances and decide to team up to defeat a villain that threatens the entire human race.

Martial Arts Choreography is something to talk about. When you watch an episode of either Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, or Dragon Ball GT, you expect fast paced, lighting quick punches and kicks and waves upon waves of destructive energy being fired from a persons hand, eyes, and even the mouth. In Dragon Ball Evolution, the closest your gonna get to energy shooting is a ball, and the action scenes are not quick like in Dragon Ball, Z, or even GT. That doesn't mean that the fight scenes are horrible. The fight scenes are really good, you can probably compare them to the first Matrix movie when Neo practiced Kung Fu.

The special affects are nothing special. They look like something out of an XBOX cutscene. No, not an XBOX 360 cutscene, an XBOX cutscene. They're not bad, but they could have done so much better with the technology we had and still have what with the amount of CGI we have in movies now. Looks like something out of Windows movie maker. But since this movie is entirely a fantasy-scifi-action, I would let it slide for that reason.

Being faithful to the source material is fairly tame. I mean yeah, they got the story, the characters, but if your able to get the references like how Gokus hoodie have the same color scene as his Gi in the manga and anime, his hair won't stay down despite putting gel on it, and even having the joke of Master Roshis first name actually being `Master'. If you're like me, you'll like the little things they had as references and will like the things they were able to keep in the movie. My one huge gripe with it are the ways they pronounce Gohans name "Go-han' and not "Go-Haun" and they chant the Kamehameha wrong, being "Kame. Hame. Ha." instead of "Ka. Me. Ha. Me. Ha."

Do I recommend this? Yes. Sure, the movie has a s*** tone of nit picky moments in them like the way they pronounce the names and such, but there are a lot of things that are good about this film. Even as a movie by itself and not being based off of Dragon Ball Z or just Dragon Ball, it's really good. This movie is your standard popcorn film.
