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.

Do not misread the connotations in the title X-Men: First Class. "First class" is a phrase which here does not mean "the best, the finest, the most luxurious," nor does it signify "the part of the plane with complimentary cocktails and room to stretch out." Take the phrase literally. In strangely oxymoronic style, the studio's promotional materials claim X-Men: First Class "charts the epic beginning (sic) of the X-Men saga," the first group of students to graduate from Professor X's school for reluctant super-heroes. "Who knew an "epic beginning" was possible? In their salad days, Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr, ultimately sworn mortal enemies, were the best of buds, experimenting with and testing their newly discovered powers, preparing to join other Mutants to prevent Armageddon. X-Men: First Class documents their nasty break-up. They could not be "just friends.""Although the men allegedly star in X-Men: First Class, the so-called "supporting actresses" threaten to steal the show. January Jones of "Madmen" fame plays Emma Frost, villainesse supreme, co-conspirator with Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw, criminal mastermind. More notably, Jennifer Lawrence—yes that Jennifer Lawrence, low-keyed "It Girl" from Winter's Bone and the Oscars' red carpet—plays Mystique, aka Raven Darkholme, shape-shifting mutant. By film's end, girl power may trump super-powers.
