(1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 0% Rotten Page   1   2.5/5 "More concerned with recruiting the testosterone troubled boys of today than it is rewarding fans of yesteryear."   Cut Print Review   Anders Wotzke 1.5/5 "just another dull teen action film"   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron D+ "It's a flat take on wild narrative twists involving a shape-shifting villainess, magic balls, and a blistering finishing move called "The Kamehameha." With those ingredients, perhaps the animated realm is where the material should remain."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf .5/4 "A few times each year, a movie comes along that makes the viewer just want to shake his or her head in disbelief at the ineptitude that has found its way to the screen. Dragonball: Evolution is amazing in its badness."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman C "It's not aggressively bad. It's more like a dumb, energetic puppy."   Cinematical   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "As far as 2009 flops will go, [this] could have been much worse to sit through..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. 1/4 "Wong's noxious narrative is nothing more than a hyperactive hackjob that may appease some 10-year old boy grasping his Jackie Chan action figure. [A] cobbled-together canker soar of a fantasy"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C- "Eleven-year old boys may very well enjoy Dragonball: Evolution, but anyone outside that target demographic might well be advised to skip it."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "The special effects are rotten. Some CG landscapes even look as bad as those cardboard backdrops they used in old 'Sixties Star Trek episodes!"   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 2/5 "Inept movie based on anime series has lots of martial arts action."   Common Sense Media   James Rocchi 2/5 "This movie has plot holes big enough to fly a dragon through and relies on the audience's pre-existing knowledge of the original source material for everything to make sense."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr D "Except for the presence of Hong Kong star Chow Yun-Fat, this shoddy live-action film is no different or bigger than the sort of junk kids plop down to watch on TV after school."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 1/5 "The fight choreography in "Hannah Montana" is infinitely better."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 1/4 "A more accurately descriptive moniker would have been Dragonball Stagnation."   Slant Magazine   Rob Humanick C- "It may be vaguely engaging, provided you've never seen Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, The Wizard of Oz or any other variation of the Hero's Journey in your entire life."   Mania.com   Rob Vaux "This film offers further proof, as if any were needed, that Western filmmakers cannot do justice to their Easter counterparts when it comes to retooling anime and/or Fant-Asia for Occidental consumption."   Cinefantastique   Steve Biodrowski 2/10 "I am no expert in the field of Dragon Ball. However... the first live-action, English-language film in the franchise is absolutely insipid."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 0% Rotten Page   1
