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 trailer-teasers for Super 8 inspire millions more questions than they answer, but they do give lots of proof the "old Spielberg magic" is on the comeback trail. Super 8's characters, suspense, and imagery strongly remind veteran dreamworkers of ET and Jurassic Park—strangely scary yet still kid-friendly. For all that they tantalize, though, the Super 8 trailers preserve the film's secrets. The State Department and CIA should study in the J.J. Abrams School of Secret-Keeping; even the WikiLeaks guys would struggle to dig up much more than the trailer's suggestion that a bunch of cute and cool kids have to deal with an "unknown incredible creature." All we really know is that, in the small Ohio town, just about everything that can blow up will blow up. Oh yeah, and we know the kids will film everything on their super-8 movie camera."Super 8 may go into Hollywood history as the movie with sibling rivalry in the sub-text. Elle Fanning, Dakota's younger sister, and Amanda Michalka, Allyson's sister, come out of the big kids' shadows and into their own, proving they have talent and skills. The big kids should feel very afraid. Gabriel Basso, the one child star without famous siblings but who may be a direct descendant of Tom Sawyer, continues the tradition of impish, resourceful Spielberg boy-heroes. Kyle Chandler, uber-dad from "Friday Night Lights," brings that same manly command to Super 8, reassuring everyone that everything will be okay.
