Good about Dragonball Evolution
This movie was horrible but there were 2 things that I personally liked in Evolution and I think its done better then DBZ
1) Eclipse for Ozaru transformation - this is a lot better idea then the moon, the moon is more for werewolf but the eclipse seems like a proper transformation for a Saiyan, it is very rare appearance, it does not happen often like full moon, Vegeta could also re create energy to block out the sun and no need to blow up the moon
2) Capsule vehicle - This was a cool scene where Bulma trows a capsule and vehicle transforms from it like in Transformers, a lot better then a *poof* smoke and gadgets appear out of it like in DBZ
I know the whole movie was garbage but did you find any part of the movie you actually liked and think its done better then DBZ and should be featured in a DBZ movie if one was made ?
I hope in future if any DBZ movie is made that they keep these 2 things in it. Just keep James Wong far away from it

A very unusual post.
I suppose those things were cool, but not cool enough to save the film.

Re: Good about Dragonball Evolution
Things I liked from DBE:
1 - It had a decent music score
2- It had suits for the monsters and most of the movie is film in real locations.
3. I enjoy Chow Yun-fat and James Marters in the movie
4. They did use the correct terms for characters like Muten Roshi, Oozaru and Shenlong

Can't really think of anything that was legitimately good about the film, but I'll say that I found Marsters to be okay as King Piccolo.

Re: Good about Dragonball Evolution
Yeah. I liked the fact that James Masters seemed to the only actor trying and so he gave a convincing performance. Everyone else on the other hand was terrible. Justin Chatwin was terrible in the film, his line delivery was The Room levels of bad except The Room is still a more entertaining film.
Everyone else just phoned it in.
The battle scenes were terrible for a film based off a fanstasy martial arts series.
No one involved in the film seemed to be really interested in making a good film and the awfulness of the film shows us that.

That Battle of Gods, and in turn Ressurection of F and Dragon Ball Super all exist because of Evolution's spectacular failure
I'm surprised that wasn't the first reply tbh.

I've stopped the movie the moment i saw Goku at school, and that was before i even searched how much it sucked or how much piss it took on the fan community.

French fans of Dragon Ball held a funeral for Goku because the film was bad. I'm not kidding about this one.Pluto wrote:I've stopped the movie the moment i saw Goku at school, and that was before i even searched how much it sucked or how much piss it took on the fan community.

Re: Good about Dragonball Evolution
Since I had no unleastic expectations that it would be like Dragon Ball it was overall enjoyable for me. I also thought that James Marsters as Piccolo looked pretty cool. Remove the gloves and give him a cape and he is even better. There is a scene in the airship where he screams where he looks a lot like I would imagine Piccolo to look like.

Re: Good about Dragonball Evolution
I've always liked Goku's costume from it, making the pants blue with only the top remaining orange really works and I dig the champion fighter style belt he has. Hell, I'd even like for animated Goku to wear something like it, I think it would look real good in animation.

The hair gel gag was pretty good. So much so that they re-used it in Super.
