Dragonball Evolution

Description

Dragonball Evolution is a 2009 American action-adventure film based on the Dragon Ball franchise. The film's story centers on the adventures of Goku, a young martial artist who discovers his destiny as a "Saiyan" and sets out to find the seven mystical orbs known as the Dragon Balls. Along the way, he must battle various villains who also seek the Dragon Balls for their own evil purposes.

The film received generally negative reviews from critics and fans of the Dragon Ball franchise alike. Many criticized the film's storyline, acting, and special effects, as well as the portrayal of the characters. The film's director, James Wong, later expressed his own dissatisfaction with the final product, citing studio interference and a rushed production schedule as factors that hindered the film's quality.

Despite its negative reception, Dragonball Evolution has gained a cult following among some fans of the franchise, who appreciate its campy, over-the-top nature. The film's legacy has also been felt in the broader anime and manga community, where it is often cited as an example of Hollywood's struggles to adapt Japanese properties to Western audiences. Nevertheless, the film remains a controversial and divisive entry in the Dragon Ball canon, and is generally regarded as a low point for the franchise's live-action adaptations.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you travel back in time and kill your grandmother before she will give you the birth? Right, you will never be born. That means you will never travel back in time and never will kill you grandmother. That's called "Time Paradox" or "Grandfather Paradox". There are lots of theories explicating why the paradox can be avoided. By the way there is quite exotic one: "Can-Not Because Has-Not" that presumes that no one has invented the time machine in the future, because if it'll happen we have had already knew this due to existence of arriving time travelers from the future. But how it is connected with Looper, the movie filmed by Rian Johnson in 2012? The answer is: very straight. In not-so-near future, in the year 2042, a mob hitman makes money by successfully assassinating human targets arriving from more distant future. Everything goes smoothly before he receives the new target: himself arriving from 2072… Now you understand why we had to begin with "Time Paradox". However, such a twisted storyline is only one crucial driving force of Looper. The brilliant cast is the second. A mob killer, Joe, is portrayed by two actors, and each of them is a big name in Hollywood scoreboard. The younger version of Joe is represented by Joseph Gordon-Levitt while the older one is played by Bruce Willis. If such a star cast, picturing one only character is not enough for you, we are glad to let you know about other names: Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau, Young Victoria) Piper Perabo (Covert Affairs , Ashes, Carriers ) and Paul Dano (Being Flynn, Cowboys & Aliens). And after all of that, have any doubts if this film worth your time?
