龙珠真人版英文观后感

the good:
Ouch.How do I spell this out.It鈥檚 like getting an ugly sweater from your favourite aunt.Here I am expected to write something good about this and I have to do it without trying to sound like I am just being nice.
Honestly,some moments of the action was pretty decent,and the visuals on the tech were pretty well done.The Jetson鈥檚 fold-a-bike was awfully nifty and it sure beat the hell out of a floating cloud.Marsters鈥 Piccolo was menacing and evil.If I didn鈥檛 already know I wouldn鈥檛 have guessed that it was Marsters playing him.
Other than that I can honestly say they did a good job attempting to please the fans and give them what they wanted while still making the necessary adaptions to the big screen.Not that I feel they accomplished that,but they did make an effort to try.

Dragonball:Evolution may very well be one of the worst films of the past 12 months or so - I am actually struggling to think of the last movie I thought was quite as bad as this one was.And it鈥檚 not one of those cases where it鈥檚 just not my cup of tea鈥 No,this is a flat-out bad movie in pretty much every area that makes up a motion picture.
Based on the popular anime series of the same (or at least similar) name,Dragonball:Evolution follows Goku (played by Justin Chatwin) who carries out his grandfather鈥檚 dying request to find Master Roshi (played by Chow Yun-Fat) and locate all seven of the powerful Dragon Balls.He already has one of them,but with the help of Bulma (played by Emmy Rossum),Master Roshi and Yamcha (played by Joon Park),he must find the others before the evil Lord Piccolo (played by James Marsters) does,whose intentions are to use them to take over the world.
Now let me just point out that I very much represent those who are not fans of the source material,and in fact know next to nothing about it.I can say without reservation that I am in the majority - if you鈥檙e a fan it may feel like everyone in the world is a fan of the cartoon,but trust me,most of the general movie-going population (who will be exposed to this through TV and other marketing) will barely even have heard of it,never mind having seen any of it.
So I then have to judge the film purely on its own merits,without having the prior knowledge to be able to compare and contrast it with the source material.Some fans of the cartoon may get a kick out of seeing such things as a certain costume or a hairstyle appear in some form,but as a movie this thing flat out stinks.And not even in a 鈥測eah it was bad,but kind of fun in spite of that鈥 kind of way - in pretty much all areas you can think of,it is awful.
The main problem with the film is the script,meaning both dialogue and the story.First off,I can鈥檛 believe how bad the dialogue was in this movie.From the very first scene in the film,which sees the movie starting off with a short back story explanation,the dialogue is painful.Near the beginning of the movie we see Goku being trained to fight by his grandpa while balancing on two ropes - and the back and forth exchange of dialogue is like something written to sound cool,but is delivered and pulled off so poorly that it鈥檚 cheesy and downright cringe-worthy.
That鈥檚 pretty much representative of the entire movie right off the bat - everything comes off as cheesy,nothing can be taken seriously,not even when Goku is supposed to be upset right after his grandfather dies (which happens within the first 10 minutes,so that鈥檚 not really a spoiler).Every time a character opens their mouth and delivers this atrocious excuse for dialogue,I felt like covering my ears and shutting my eyes in embarrassment (which I did do a handful of times,I鈥檓 not even kidding).
Well,you might be thinking 鈥渟o what?鈥 Who cares if the dialogue is bad and high on the cheese-meter?The action has to make up for that,right?Well,wrong.Actually,dead wrong.Action is the one thing that could have saved this movie from the abyss,but they even manage to muck that potential up.The action is not just mediocre or even sub-par - oh no,it鈥檚 worse than that - it鈥檚 terrible.Director James Wong clearly doesn鈥檛 know how to direct the needed action (although he seemed to do okay with Jet Li鈥檚 The One),and the attempts he makes are reminiscent of a young kid having fun in a special effects studio,just randomly pressing any of the fancy buttons on display.
They attempt to have 300-esque action scenes of things going from normal speed to slow-motion and then suddenly speeding back up to normal again.But for such a technique to be effective you have to know what you鈥檙e doing,and it鈥檚 evident from this movie that Wong doesn鈥檛.Zack Snyder,although using it a bit too flippantly in 300,timed the slowing down thing pretty much perfectly,matching up exactly with the action on-screen and giving that extra bit of kick.But here it鈥檚 used far,far too often for no reason other than to just have it in there for the sake of it.There鈥檚 a strange sense that the movie thinks what it鈥檚 doing is cool鈥 but 鈥渓aughable鈥 is more the accurate description.
You probably want to know how the cast did鈥 Well unfortunately,like the rest of the movie,pretty awful.Justin Chatwin is completely miscast in the role of Goku (for some reason an American playing this character just doesn鈥檛 feel right),Emmy Rossum is hot but nonetheless terrible as Bulma,and I feel embarrassed that Chow Yun-Fat has gone from amazing stuff like Hard Boiled and The Killer to eye-rolling stuff like this.The only actor who did all right (and I stress,just all right) was James Marsters as (an underused) Lord Piccolo - he鈥檚 not in any way good,but,let鈥檚 just say鈥 he was less terrible than the rest of the cast.
The only thing I can think of that鈥檚 even remotely positive about Dragonball:Evolution is that the special effects are pretty cool at times.Not during some of the hand-to-hand combat scenes (where the effects are so obviously鈥 effects,if you know what I mean),but when they use what is known as 鈥淜I attacks,鈥 which are basically blasts of different colored energy from their hands.
Props go to Amalgamated Dynamics for creating special effects which are,on their own,quite visually stunning.Also,the movie is really quite short,so at least I didn鈥檛 have to sit through the pain for all that long.
However,that鈥檚 pretty much where the positive stuff ends - you just know a movie is in trouble when you are literally straining to think of something you liked about it.
I don鈥檛 know if the story they used here in any way resembles the original cartoon/anime stories,but how they told it in the movie was abysmal.There were clearly elements taken from the source material,and it is then clearly a story (or one of the stories鈥 I don鈥檛 know,I鈥檓 not a Dragonball fan) that may work well in a cartoon but it does not work well on the big-screen.Not for even the slightest moment.
I lost count of the number of times I rolled my eyes,snickered,groaned,and shook my head in embarrassment and shame during this movie.I can鈥檛 actually believe the filmmakers looked at the script and thought,鈥淵es,this is good stuff.Let鈥檚 go ahead and make it!鈥 It鈥檚 probably just one of those cases where they saw the popularity of the source material and thought that they could make a quick buck by just throwing anyone in the roles,sticking together bits and pieces from the cartoon to form something resembling a story.
So needless to say I don鈥檛 recommend Dragonball:Evolution.I wasn鈥檛 expecting this to be any good,but I don鈥檛 know if I was expecting it to be this bad.Please,if you believe in the magic of cinema,avoid this with as much effort as it takes.
