Ah christ moment present: Dragonball Evolution

First of all what does Ah christ moment mean?

Well is when a Mexican that got nothing to do, go out and watch a bad movie.

In this case is Dragonball, i have seen my share of great martial art, from the Micheoh, Bruce, Jackie, to even the shaw brother's. Lately hollywood have been cashing in some, from last year the forbidding Kingdom to the Cg fat panda Kung fu panda. Now they take the most popular and recognizable manga(and Anime) of the 90's into a very and not so Indy like adventure, cause really where the wire?

Here the Review:

A long time a go, earth was been decimated by the conquest of Lord Piccolo(James Marster), that almost destroy it. Until Some Mystical Monk capture him, and imprison him in a jar. Now century have pass, where a old man train he's pupil the young, but overconfident Goku(Justin Chatwin) where in school he's is always bully a lot, which he can used he's kin agaisnt them. But when the evil return to haunt the old man home, and reclaim the dragonball, so he ca summon the most fear est monster of all. With he's only love one gone, Goku must set into a quest to find the other six mystical ball, on the trip, he meat a sleuth of character that join him: The determind, and techie Bulma(Emmy Rossum), the pervert, but very wise Master Roshi(Chow Yun Fat) and the treasure, always looking for a quick buck Yamcha( Yoon Park). To look and find them before the dreaded Piccolo do. From high flying, to finding a place where you below, and share it with new friends. Learn your Kin level, and study your kame kame ha

Cause this is the world of Dragonball.

Cause really it really doesn't have any serious acting, just something out of a B film.

Justin hair may done the look of the main hero. But hes act doesn't, from taking flirt of Chi chi, and learning new moves from the master, the guy come slow, in a very cloudy kind of way.

Then Bulma didn't seem that convincing, cause really she's a owner of a major technological company, but fail in the whinning thing, and the Yamcha crush, to soon for the film, especially when he try to steal from ya. Jamie chang performance was like the Hello Kitty of the film. Hey here's something you shouldn't have done, corny. Yamcha well there ain't nothing to talk about.

The only character that i think that almost save it, got to Chow Yun Fat. To he's funny acting, and always putting the hand on bulma(twice) was the true entertainment of the film. They should make another focus on him.

The story came short, and not that joyful. The environment that is set in, really got the feel of the dragonball universe, on been diverse, on the raise of color, and the futuristic setting, and of course the fantasy of the martial art. But really it seem they didn't told on how Piccolo escape, and why Goku didn't grow the size of he's father King Kong? knowing they left out the saiyan part out. And most of the appearances were to fast, well that what you get when is a 90min film.

It seem the adventure didnt look that interesting to begin with, i mean piccolo was already destroying city's, with that strength he can already take over the planet by breakfast morning.

And the training that Goku got, well let just say that kid that started in the Forbidding city, with just one kick, Goku can forget about existing.

Now the fight are always important for the series, and every fan of this series know about. Here they seem short from the rope by beginning of it, that something they took from Bulletproof Monk(Another Chow Yun Fat made with stiffler), and the Rochi they should be send to jail by pulling that cg arm fight, You don't need effect when it come to the kung fu. That's why there the wires? which they didn't used. The best fighting that the film have, goes to Jamies Chung, she the only actress that have the most training. And the epic one between Goku and Piccolo, well let just say that something that only Hollywood can do for their own brand of martial art.

So the film come bad in all. But really what were they thinking, Cause really the crouching tiger and hidden dragon is till consider the best thing that the Chinese gave to the Americana's. Here something that i can also add why they didn't put Grillin instead of Yamcha, i know they based it upon on the first one that was Dragonball, but fail in the character acting. Well this is a franchise that really was made by the Japs, cause everybody know that Anime films(the classic ones) last only to 80's to 90 min.

Well the first of a series of bad movies that need to be watch, cause really i know most wont.

This is even why observe and report should have a chance to be in on the ·1 on the box offices. But hey Disney won that one. So hey if you were expecting something of this film then don't, cause really Hollywood cannot always make them great, but if you do? bring some couple of your buddies, and laugh for the fun of it.

Next stop X-men origin: Wolverine.
