Review of Dragonball Evolution (2009) by Richard G — 28 Jan 2012

I've never seen the Dragonball cartoon before so I never knew the story going into this film. But regardless of that fact I loved it!!! I didn't think it would be as good as it was. I found that they had rather strange names in it but I guess they did in the TV Show too, since it is Japanese.

I loved Goku's character and it was different seeing Emmy Rossum as Bulma in an action role, and playing a character who could fight. I liked Chi Chi too. And Justin Chatwin is really nice to look at, he's really easy on the eye that's for sure!!! I never in my wildest dreams would have suspected that Goku would turn out to be Ozaru!!! That was really shocking!!! But i'm glad that he came to his senses and got rid of Piccolo again.

And he used his one wish to summon Shen Long by uniting the 7 Dragonballs and brought Master Roshi back to life. I especially loved it when Master Roshi said that Goku's grandfather had kicked him out of Heaven, or wherever it was he had gone, as that was when Shen Long brought him back to life.

And those pesky Dragonballs had scattered again so they had to go out and find them all again - sequel anyone??? I'd love me a sequel!!!
