It was as awful as I predicted, the pacing was poorly thought out, the acting and script laughably bad and the fight scene was less than 10 minutes long. Worst of all, the ending raised the possibility of a sequel.
I went to see Dragonball Evolution this afternoon

Why does Hollywood feel compelled to do live-action movies of successful anime? Do they honestly think they will make more money? Or are they just too cheap to hire good animators? My money is on the second, because they have to realize that the people who will go to see a movie based on an anime are probably going to be anime fans. Right? They aren't that stupid, are they?
Well if they didn't try to turn Master Roshi into a 30 year old surfer dude it might've worked, the only thing about him from the manga they kept was him being a pervert.scotth266 said:
Perhaps the flaw was not with the movie, but the subject itself? Replace most mangas characters with real people using the same lines, and it can force your perspective somewhat into realizing how bad it actually is.
I took one look at an ad for this movie and thought, "Yep, it's going to suck."
Sure enough, it doesn't disappoint.

You?ve got to at least give the film credit for flying in the face of the age-old logic of "Wait until you have actually seen the whole thing before you cast judgement". I took one look at the trailer and instantly knew it would be a massive hairy turd. Nothing will ever change my mind or make me see it. In fact, if I ever do see it, it will be against my will and as a method of torture, at which point I will break the cyanide capsule and place it discreetly under my tongue.
And die in bliss.

Seriously, Hollywood is a "noble institution"? That right there is worthy of a /facepalm.DC_Josh said:
Doing a live-action movie version of Anime seems about as good an idea as making a film about a popular book, simplify all the characters/change them drastically, cut / add many plot points crucial from/to the story and hire actors regardless of acting skill...etc.
I still want to see it. I don't why but the little I saw on Youtube didn't seem....that bad. I guess I'm part of that retarded minority. But I only saw the beginning up to where he was going out on a date. Maybe it gets a lot worse.
And I don't care that they americanized a lot of things because honestly a LOT of things in the anime wouldn't work in a Hollywood movie. Like Goku. In the anime he just wants to train and fight and train and fight and train and fight. You can't translate that to a Hollywood movie.
