Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Dragon Ball Z este povestea care se centreaza in jurul unui baiat pe nume Goku. Dar el nu este orice fel de baiat. Goku descopera ca este nascut pe alta planeta si ca a fost trimis pe Pamant ca sa se infiltreze in societatea noastra si apoi sa o distruga. Dar fiind crescut in spiritul pamantean, Goku se dovedeste a fi aparatorul dreptatii si al adevarului. El alege sa nu isi indeplineasca destinul de a provoca distrugerea planetei, ci alege sa protejeze planeta noastra impotriva unei amenintari extraterestre, care are ca scop dominarea intregului univers, si cauta sa controleze sapte bile magice. Gohan, bunicul care l-a adoptat, il roaga pe Goku pe patul de moarte sa caute cele sapte bile magice cu ajutorul Maestrului Roshi. El trebuie sa il impiedice pe Lordul Piccolo, inainte ca acesta sa puna mana pe aceste bile si sa cucereasca lumea.

For manga and anime fans around the world, the story of Dragonball has to be at the top, or at least in the top 3 of their most beloved manga/anime stories ever written. There is already an existing live action Dragonball movie called Dragonball: The Magic Begins (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122050/) made in Taiwan back in 1989. That movie tried really hard to stay as close as possible to the original story of Dragonball as written by Akira Toriyama, but it ended up being more of a comedy. The entire story also only went up to the Pilaf storyline, which was way before the first Piccolo appearance. This movie, although aged and not exactly a direct interpretation of the Dragonball story, was still appreciated by most fans due to the comedic entertainment value.
Now, another live action Dragonball movie has come, called Dragonball: Evolution. When the first few pictures of this movie appeared on the internet, a lot of the fans already predicted that the movie would turn out horrible because the characters don’t look like themselves. The characters were heavily changed and westernized too much, especially Piccolo, the main villain, who didn’t look like the one from the manga and anime. Fast forward to a few weeks before the latest Dragonball movie was released, a trailer was leaked on the internet. That trailer spelled the certain doom of the movie to the fans of the show. Most of the comments described the movie as “Not Dragonball, but another action movie”.
