I never thought a martial arts movie, based on a graphic novel about a boy trying to save Earth from total destruction, could be so CORNY!
“Dragonball Evolution” is terrible. The acting is cheesy, the special effects are goofy and the plot is so predictable I could see everything coming from a mile away. And dull? When I saw it in the theater I nearly fell asleep 3-times!
I’m not even going to tell you who’s in it. I don’t want to embarrass them any more than they already must be.
Here’s how bad “Dragonball Evolution” is: When it came out in theaters in April it made that weekend’s other family film – “Hannah Montana: The Movie”, seem like an Academy Award nominee for Best Picture.
On The Official Kid Critic Report Card, “Dragonball Evolution” gets a D, and it was “this close” from getting my first F of the year.
