A Quick Tip by Sharrie

A 2009 movie?! Boy, that's surprising! I watched it on TV and definitely wouldn't have paid for it in the movie! It feels like watching Star Trek on TV! Enjoyable but don't go paying big bucks for such movies, even if it's Chow Yun Fat is acting!!! A waste of money & resources especially when so many are unemployed these days!

3 STARS IF YOU TURN YOUR BRAIN OF

DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION I have always been a fan of the Manga series Dragonball by Akira Toriyama and each series afterwards like Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT. I liked the written formats and the animes as well so I was excited when this live action film was announced. I was let down a bit when the trailer was released but I never judge without seeing something first. I missed the theatrical release because of reasons unknown to myself, as I did … more

Another horrible western adaption of an asian genre

The Dragonball Evolution story comes from an Asian comic book series. I have never read this comic book, but was recommended to watch this movie by fans of the serial. And so I did, and I was horribly disappointed. The entire story is quite original to those who have no background in Asian comic book stories, and I won't go into the details here, but everything else was horrible. First of, why is the main character a white man when the setting is in Asia, and the main character's father is Oriental? … more

Enjoyably Light Hearted

The Dragon ball name is something that holds a special place in the hearts of many fans, some die hard and some casual. Those hearts were undoubtedly broken when the announcement of an American made live action adaptation of the anime series was to be made. Whether you enjoy this movie really depends on the context of which you watch it. If you watch it and are a fan of the anime and expect it to match what you would see as the greatness of the anime and comics, then you will be disappointed. If … more

Saving the World One Ball at a Time

There's surprisingly little evolving going on in "Dragonball: Evolution." If anything, it de-evolves, taking an archetypal hero's journey and stripping it down past the bare minimum. So many details are either quickly alluded to or altogether overlooked, which essentially leaves us with a fairly bland action adventure story that throws in a little self-discovery for good measure. Based on the "Dragon Ball" graphic novels written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama, "Dragonball: Evolution" is an airy, … more
