Maybe I do not have a childhood, but Dragonball as I remembered was cards and comics. ( I haf a confession to make; i do not know how to read comics) Caught Dragonball Evolution 2009 with my friends over last weekend. Comments? It was an absolute nightmare and failure. The 7 balls probably represented F.A.I.L.U.R.E.! The character names when translated in English were absolutely hilarious and ridiculous. Big Monkey? Guko? I was like wth ?Cookie Monster and Elmo sound better! The villain can be Big Bird or sth.
The lead actress is not very pretty. She has gd figure...tt's abt it. 86 minutes? Most of the parts were time-fillers. Plot was thin, character development was non-existent. If you watch the thrillers, you probably have seen what's worth to see in the entire movie! I rather pay $8 to catch Mr Bean (the series). At least, he is farnie!
One guideline about choosing movies to watch. If the movie produced by Hollywood is based on a comic or cartoon of non-American origin, it is most likely going to be bad. One more guideline, avoid Chinese movies (except probably those based on Ancient China). I have this phobia about watching Chinese movies in cinemas. Their budgets are lower, and I am tempted to say they are made just to milk the cinematic industry. Wait for the dvds!
Fast-forward to this weekend. Went to watch Unborn. Though not exactly a 5 star movie, it was miles ahead of Dragonball. At least it made me squeam. The lead actress was way prettier than Dragonball's not because she was seen in microscopic shorts but indeed she is lovable. haha. The plot is original and there were ample scences to make you lose some sleep.
Verdict: Avoid Dragonball!!! Unborn? Up to you.
