Buff, every time I see the trailer for the dragonball movie, I am outraged to see how you can spend a million dollars to make a movie as bad as this. But is anyone interested in paying money to go to the cinema to see this movie? I remind you that it opens today.
Dragonball Evolution introduces us to Justin Chatwin who plays the heroic Goku, a powerful warrior who protects Earth from a tireless group of villains, bent on dominating the universe and controlling the legendary objects that give the film its name. Emmy Rossum is Bulma, a beautiful woman determined to recover the mythical Dragon Balls for personal reasons; Jamie Chung is Chi Chi, a young martial arts expert who captures Goku's attention; and Chow Yun-Fat is Master Mutenroshi, who will be in charge of guiding Goku in the great adventure that he undertakes to save the Earth from the forces of darkness. James Marsters is Lord Piccolo, whose return may indicate the impending destruction of Earth; Joon Park is Yamcha, a charismatic "bad boy" whose plans may thwart the heroes' journey; Eriko is Mai, an assassin who works alongside Piccolo; Ernie Hudson is Sifu Norris, Mutenroshi's contemporary and also a teacher; and Randall Duk Kim is Gohan, Goku's grandfather, whose teachings prepare Goku for the monumental task that awaits him.
Come on, I was not a big fan of the Dragonball cartoon series, but it is clear that characters have been invented and that other fundamentals are missing.
