TETB Review: DragonBall Evolution

Dragon Ball is one of the greatest anime shows that are out there. It has adventure, action, and a boy with a tail!! I used to love this show when I was younger and I still watch it from time to time. So when I heard that there was a going to be a Dragon Ball movie I got excited. I followed this movie as close as I could by seeing who stars in it or even just going by things I heard. It was a definite win for me when I heard one of my favorite actors, James Marsters, was playing Piccolo. My doubts started though when I heard the title of the Dragon Ball flick, called Dragon Ball Evolution. Evolution… I guess they were trying to be edgy. So the day finally came, I got my ticket, I got my candy, and my soda… I was ready. What I was not ready for was the crap fest they decided to put on the screen. My god this movie was horrible!!   I could wipe my ass and come up with something better than this. I could probably point out everything that’s wrong with this movie, like the fact that Goku, played by Justin Chatwin, is not a kid and he’s in high school. Son Goku never had any real education in the show so why put him in school? I mean they tried to make him into some high school guy with no real friends at all. They didn’t even give him Krillin has a friend and that’s his best friend ever.  This movie makes me want to shit myself, take the shit, and light it on fire!!! AHH!!!!

Look how craptasic it looks.
 
Other things I didn’t like about the feature (if you can call it that) are the fact that we don’t get to see everything that Dragon Ball offers. For example, I was so ready to see Puar, a soft-spoken blue creature and the constant companion of Yamcha, but she’s not even there at all. If you asked this movie’s Yamcha where this cat like creature is then he may be like “UHH your crazy dude, animals don’t talk”. Well they do in this world buddy!! This world was supposed to have dinosaurs, talking animals, and just be over the top, but I guess since its live action they can only go so far before they make it crap… oh wait they did!!  Even “The Great Oozaru”, or “Great Ape”, looks dumb as hell. He’s supposed to be this big ape like creature that is bigger than a fucking building!!! All he was in this flick was hairy and buff with no tail!! Goku didn’t even have a tail in this movie when everyone who has seen the series knows he was born with a tail.  




Best team ever!!!
 All and all this flick was bad, bad as in shit. They only reason why I watched it again is because TeamFourStar, that’s right TeamFourStar, did an iRiff Rifftrax version of the movie. Now if you haven’t heard of TeamFourStar, these are guys who do an abridged version of Dragon Ball Z and I have to tell you it’s one of the best shows I ever see. This team was created by KaiserNeko, Lanipator, and Takahata101, who also do voices for the show alongside with MasakoX, hbi2k, Megami33, GanXingba, Antfish, Vegeta3986, and the man who kicked off this abridging craze, LittleKuriboh. When I heard Kaiser, Lani, and Taka were doing an iRiff I was like about time!!! These guys are funny as hell and if you haven’t seen the Dragon Ball Z Abridged series, you’re missing out big time. Plus it’s always fun to see funny people riff bad movies.

 Anyway that's all I have to say this crap of a movie. I'm so pissed they called this a Dragon Ball Movie.
