Oh, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball, what has Dragon ball Evolution done to you?
First off, they turn Goku into an angsty teenager, a stark CONTRAST to what he was in Manga and Television series.
They make Piccolo sound good, but the live-action approach didn't quite work with the green alien. He just looked like a sick drug user.
Goku's monkey form was just laughable, while he seemed to lack a TAIL. It wouldn't have been so bad if they explained he had it cut off or something.
Roshi was endearing and entertaining, and just about the only character who was loyal to the source.
Yamcha, Chi-chi and Bulma....oh dear god they were so different and depressing.
Overall I found it a dissapointment of a movie, as they use some of the worse cliches in an uninspiring way.
But for newcomers or people who just want some random fun the movie is for you.
Generic but Bad
