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.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie was released in 2010, the year of "Ironman 2," "Harry Potter 7", and "Tron: Legacy". So, the producers and director of "Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader" clearly felt the pressure to deliver a visual masterpiece. Capitalizing on the special alchemy of 3D, they succeeded. "A painting engulfs Lucy and Edmund Pevensie and their cousin Eustace, taking them back to Narnia and stowing them away on sailing ship The Dawn Treader. The brave and somewhat precocious warriors battle a fierce collection of monsters and villains, resisting their own powerful temptations, as they join forces with Reepicheep, a warrior mouse, to save Narnia. The computer animators do so well with the Lion, the Mouse, and the fairy princess, viewers willingly suspend disbelief. Of course, a mouse can out-maneuver a chimera."The producers and director paid proper respect to C.S. Lewis, early twentieth century author and scholar, who penned the novel The Voyage of the Dawn Treader as one among his Chronicles of Narnia. Lewis, a leading authority on medieval quest romance, crafted his story according to the traditions and conventions of the hero's quest, and the movie wisely recreates his craftsmanship. The film-makers achieve an unlikely hybrid of medieval story and twenty-first century imagery. They left open the question, however: Would audiences overdosed on 3D graphics and epic adventures fill the seats for another one?
