Dragon Ball has long been one of the famous brands, with a spread far beyond its home country of Japan.
But the more you expect, the more disappointed you are, when problems from production budget and content have invisibly put the film on the list of the worst live-action movies in history.
10. Try to develop an adventure theme
The adventure element has always been one of the core points of the Dragon Ball series, as Goku faces many difficult challenges and formidable opponents.
Dragon Ball: Evolution also did quite well in recreating the adventurous atmosphere of Goku and his friends.
9. Enthusiastic cast
For viewers, Dragon Ball: Evolution seems like a disrespect to the original work by greatly distorting it.
Meanwhile, director Stephen Chow is even a fan of this brand.
8. Focus on Chi-chi’s martial arts
Goku’s `roof`, Chi-Chi is an interesting character and also possesses remarkable martial arts abilities.
The movie Evolution spent part of its time helping viewers get a look at the martial arts abilities of the character Chi-Chi, creating some depth in character development.
7. Delve into Goku’s origin
Although the presentation is not really good, Dragon Ball: Evolution made an effort to explore Goku’s Saiyan origin.
It’s just a shame that the movie removed the tail, which was seen as an image associated with Goku in the early days of the Dragon Ball series.
6. Content combined from many different events
As a franchise with 9 different sagas and 3 arcs, adapting it to the big screen with a limited duration is a difficult task.
Dragon Ball: Evolution did not perform well in this department, but it is said that the movie could have been somewhat better if it had more time.
5. The movie character is older
Compared to Akira Toriyama’s original work where Goku started out as a kid, the movie version has changed.
4. Picolo
Lord Picolo, the main villain in the film, has changed in appearance, which according to many people, is more modern and more beautiful than the original.
Thanks to comments from James, although Picolo has changed, it still recreates the version from the original work.
3. Costumes
One of the rare bright spots of Dragon Ball: Evolution is when the movie invests in the costumes of the characters.
Especially Goku with his iconic orange outfit.
2. The relationship between Goku and him
In the original work, Mr. Gohan adopted Goku after finding him, teaching him martial arts and common sense to make a righteous person.
Coming to the movie, the relationship between grandfather and grandson remains somewhat intact in terms of cohesion.
1. Many famous stars
Although it is a memorable bomb in cinema history, it cannot be denied that the work possesses a few famous and capable actors.
That is male actor Chau Nhuan Phat who has participated in countless famous action works such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
