Movie: Dragonball Evolution-Not good enough

Today, my friend invite me to see the movie Dragonball Evolution. I'm not sure to see the western movie making from Japanese comic/manga, because many (or may be all) of them are bad. However, this is the new and promoted program for this week (sounds so sad,right? T^T), thus I give it a try!
After the end of Dragonball Evolution, I feel that my first though is correct! The movie is short and not fun. Relationship of each character and the story are really loose: How can Picolo escape from the magic trap? Oh sorry, the movie not tell you. Many characters are just appeared to show that they has name as in Dragonball comics. Anyway, if you just want to see new style of Dragonball as the movie, it should be ok for you.


Pros

  • Action in Cartoon style is OK (Great for Kids).
  • Quite Ok style to re-edit Dragonball to be the movie.
Cons
  • Story is too short and too loose.
  • Many Characters are uninteresting and not important.
  • If you love Dragonball the Comics and hope to see it on the movie, NOT this movie.

I recommend you to see Dragonball in the cartoon version. It's really great cartoon and may be one of the most worldwide famous Japanese cartoon of all times. Believe me that it's a lot better the Movie!
