The Dragonball movie.

It's been released today over here. I'll be there at the theater tonight but my expectations are very low...

So I've seen it last night. And it was not as bas as it initially looked. But make no mistake, it's still veeeeeery average.

Spoilers ahead...

Positive points:
Numero Uno in my book: Master Roshi grabbing Bulma's ass! Twice! Check!
Bikini magazines. Check!
Goku's naivety/almost-retardness. Check!
Piccolo's soldiers are spawned from his DNA. No eggs, though.
Goku's meals!
Hints at Namekans, Goku's alien origin and Bruts wave.

Negative points:
Condensing the 17 first issues of Dragonball into a one week period is kinda dumb. Goku has no proper training.
Everything seemed rushed (i.e. Bulma/Yamcha, the hunt for the Dragon Balls).
Goku is not responsible for Gohan's death. Piccolo is.
No tail!
An 8 foot tall Ozaru!
A ridiculous Shenron! I expected something huger!
The fight between Piccolo and Goku lasts 2 minutes.
There is a lot of plot holes or cuts (the movie is very short!)



Anyway, the movie remains watchable if you don't pay attention to its narrative flaws, or short-cuts. It's definitely kid-friendly.

C+

I haven't seen it yet, but you know what ?
I hope it makes some money.

No matter how crap the movie may be or not, I admit I'd still love to see some live action SSJ transformations in a possible sequel.

Word!

 

[Sephiroth]

why would they coondence all 17 db issues into one film set within a 1 week period? with the source material they could do 7-8 proven to be good movies

The mid credits so called "twist" with a certain character lying in bed was just weird. Not just weird but it took too long to see who was lying there.
