The Eyes Of A Spectator

Well, the story is pretty much nowhere close to what the anime is, but let's have a go at it. Piccolo, an evil namekian from 2000 years ago, escapes from imprisonment and is looking the the dragonballs. It's Gokus 18th birthday, and he gets the 4th dragonball, by his grandfather, Gohan. He meets his soon to be girlfriend Chi Chi, and his grandfather dies because of Piccolo. He meets up with Roshi, and eventually Bulma, Yamcha, Piccolo's servant Mai. They all eventually form a group and collect 3 dragonballs. They are stolen by Mai, and Piccolo turns out to have the other 4. Goku turns into the Oozaru, but mans up and takes its power and becomes one with it, then kicks Piccolos ass. That's pretty much it. You don't have to watch the movie now.

Well, I don't know, not really much to say. Because it's really short, it makes it less painful. Less to watch. There's some okay effects, nothing to grand. Yeah I don't know, if you think anything was really good about the movie, then congratulations to you for not wanting to pull your eyes out of your skull. I guess they got the kamehameha, except it can't bring people back from the dead...

Too much, way too much. I'll simplify it as much as I can. The movie was way too short. I know this contradicts what I said earlier, but think about it. As much as it was short, it could have been longer, because the story could have been much better. Not even that, the story could have been the real story, and not some new one that the script writers decided to make while they were like "Screw it, everyones going to watch it anyway". The writers were James Wong, Ben Ramsey and Akira Toriyama, the same guy who wrote the god damn manga, yet the movie turned out horrible. Stephen Chow was going to direct it, but didn't. If you don't know who that is, he was the guy who directed Shaolin Soccer, and his more popular and very good movie, Kung Fu Hustle. Imagine how good it would have been! More bad? The god damn characters. If you watch the first season of any of the dragonball series, you will notice something immediately, the characters don't match up. Goku isn't supposed to be 18 at all during any time period. Bulma isn't some random girl, and certainly doesn't have brunette hair. Chi Chi isn't a high school student who's really patient. GOKU IS NOT AMERICAN AND DOESN"T GO TO HIGH SCHOOL. I don't even know how they fucked up Yamcha, Master Roshi and Piccolo. I don't even want to talk about it anymore.

This movie, shouldn't have happened. It's odd that all of the horrible movies make a lot of money, but this is one of the few movies that I'm glad landed in the bargain bin if that. It was in the news that Wal-Mart had it on overstock because no one was buying it even though it had a ridiculous sale price of only 4.95. I don't have the link for it, but I'm sure it's in the news somewhere. This movie had so much potential. The moment I saw the trailer for it in 2008, I knew it was going to be horrible from the way it looked. Everyone was americanized! Horrible decision they made giving the director role to James Wong.

Now, this movie wasn't a complete absolute terror, it'll probably bring good to kids and people like that. I give this movie a 3 out of 10, only because the only people who should be watching this are 3 year olds. They don't have the mind to remember such horrible movies like this.
