Brief Review of Dragonball Evolution Movie (*Spoiler*)

Brief Review

I just gonna write a bit about the movie. The first thing I wanna say is I only partly like that movie. The movie is too short for me (70 minutes). Plus, everything happen so fast. For example, the fight between Chi-chi and Mai in the so-called tournament. Worse of all, Mai just walked out of the ring because the main purpose of that fight is just to get Chi-chi’s blood/DNA/I don’t know. At least the fight between Chi-chi and cloned Chi-chi lasted a bit longer. Well, there’s not much to see either in that fight. Okay as for the last climax fight between Goku and Piccolo has more CG(computer graphics) shown. Man.., the Oozaru looks like a crappy monster that came out of nowhere! Just look at the size! So “unreal”.

Basically, the CG thing are pretty cool. I really like it when they used their “Ki”. Goku used it as a training by Master Roshi to light the flames. Besides that, you can see more of that “Ki” stuffs in the last fight. Justin Chatwin must improve his shouting skill on that Kamehameha. Actually, I was hoping Sean Schemmel dubbed his voice over Chatwin’s voice when he did the Kamehameha wave. That would totally change everything in that last fight! Well maybe not for you, but for me yes. It’s just a total waste that I didn’t really get to enjoy in watching the movie in cinema as I just watched it over the internet. Low quality and I hardly can hear the voices.

 

Summing Up

To sum it up, these are my personal main opinions:

  • CG (thumbs up)
  • Plot of the story (thumbs down)- - - simply too messy
  • Acting (partly thumbs up)
  • Humor (thumbs down)- - - too little, I want more
  • Oozaru (all fingers down)- - - too gruesome
  • Piccolo (thumbs down)- - - not gruesome enough
  • Soundtracks (thumbs up)- - - awesome!

Finally, although the movie is not so great, I appreciate James Wong’s hard work in directing this movie. Respect it no matter what. Don’t give this movie too high expectations or you will never get enough.

Interesting Facts

Some interesting facts from IMDB:

  • It was suggested to give the entire cast special wigs of different colours, to keep the essence of the "Dragon Ball" animé, but James Wong vetoed this idea to make the film more realistic.

 

 

 

  • According to the film's make-up expert Ed French, it took four hours to apply the prosthetics to James Marsters to change him into Piccolo. At first it took 17 hours, but Marsters had difficulty breathing and Piccolo's look also seemed overdone, so some prosthetics were removed, thus shortening the time to 4 hours.

 

 

  • Joon Park admitted he didn't think he was going to get the role of Yamcha "because I'm god in Korea, but a shit in the US." He auditioned for the role in nothing but a hat and shorts, but as soon as director James Wong took a look at him Park landed the role.

 

  • "Dragon Ball" creator Akira Toriyama is a big fan of Jackie Chan and very much tried to cast him in the film as Master Roshi who at one point in the saga had taken the alias of Jackie Chun), but Chan was unavailable due to conflicts with other films.
  • When Bulma's capsule converts into a cycle, the famous sound from "Transformers" (1984) (another fan favourite alongside "Dragon Ball: Doragon bôru" (1986) in Japan) is heard.
