Dragonball Evolution (Check out the trailer)
The smell of Street Fighter all over again.
Wow, the reviews have not been kind. I always felt they should have never even tried to make a film.
Remember when there was word that FOX was considering moving this movie to the direct to video status? Perhaps, they should have scrapped the release all together.
Rottentomatoes.com has a rating of 15%. That’s right 15%. I have to wonder what the positive reviewers feel about it.
Here are a few remarks from reviewers
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul): ((Chintzy effects, badly overdubbed dialogue, an idiotic script and a cave set that looks exactly like the "caves" on log-flume rides.))
Jason Di Rosso: ((Uninspired and cliché-ridden.))
Matt Mueller: ((Tearing through its mystical, who-gives-a-toss storyline like a pissed bat bouncing off cave walls, Dragonball’s cocktail of cheap effects, eye-rolling cliches and dismal direlogue will have fans of the series condemning it as a beyond-lame failure.))
There is an amusing positive review…
Andrew L. Urban: ((Action packed and well paced, the film delivers exactly what it promises in terms of its style and quality effects and should appeal to the 15 to 24 crowd))
I willing to say the only reason to see this movie is for these two women Emmy Rossum and Jamie Chung.
Side note: Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li received 4% compared to Dragonball’s 15%.
To add insult to injury, the movie only made 4.76 million dollars. I do believe this movie will probably do well overseas though. (Update: Foreign Box Office is 25 million. WTF? )
