Title: Early Review of the Dragon Ball: Evolution movie
Post by: venka21 on March 16, 2009, 09:03:19 AM
Anime news network has an early review of the Dragon Ball:Evolution movie.

From the sound of things it's not only as bad as we feared, it's worse.

Lets just say a good number of Dragon Ball fans will be leaving the theater in tears when they see this...

This will be *entertaining*

I wonder if it's worse than that new Chun Li movie that just came out....

ill admit the chun li flick was pretty horrible, but nonetheless a good laugh and semi entertaining.

if anything, I'm willing to see what Spike [from Buffy] will do as Lord Piccolo

and why is Chow Yun Fat not wearing a tortoise shell? eh, at least he's wearing the Hawaiian shirt.

Movie was utterly terrible. On par with Wing Commander or the Fantastic Four movie from the 80's.

Maybe worth seeing in a theater just to make fun of it obnoxiously loud the entire time.


Maybe.

I knew Chun-Li was going to be bad(hence why I didn't see it), but this...........is going to be fun just because it going to be so bad.

Okay, after reading that review, I'm definitely not going to throw away my money just to see how bad it is.

The movie was absolutely terrible! Thank god I didn't have to pay for it, I suggest that you go with a few friends and make fun of it the whole time. My friends and I were laughing the entire time!!

Grandpa Gohan is growing more than vegetables in his garden! :D

The movie was absolutely horrible. Fortunately, it's perfect riffing material; everything was so bad, I could make plenty of jokes about it. If anyone's interested, the review I wrote of it is currently at the top of Yahoo Movie's "Most Helpful" fan reviews, with 95 out of 102 people finding it helpful. Here's the link: http://movies.yahoo.com/mvc/dfrv?mid=1809961064&uid=DoGuHUrpi8d6VPg4F9cbUGe3lXfGbjk6IA--&s=&i=0&spl=0

Yes, it's a shameless plug, but I don't feel like repeating everything I said in the review. Trust me when I say it was that bad.
