Review :
Goku (Justin Chatwin) is a seventeen-year-old orphan who lives with his grandpa who can be best described as a demented Mr. Miyagi, who in-between teaching the super-powered Goku martial arts, cackles a lot whilst preparing chicken feet for dinner. Goku’s school life isn’t much better. Movie plot convention demand that he be picked on by a gang of bullies, and voila! so it is. Goku isn’t allowed to use his super-powers against his tormentors because . . . heck, we don’t know why. Because using them will make him a worse person or something.
One day Goku sneaks to a party where he predictably has a showdown with the bullies and employs a small print in his “no fighting” clause to take them down. Whilst Luke Skywalker, er sorry, Goku is gone though his grandfather is killed by a villain named Lord Piccolo (no, I’m not making these names up) who is searching for seven dragonballs because, well, he has to. The script demands it. (The term “dragonballs” may give the wrong impression here. They are orbs with mystical powers; not what you were thinking . . .) With these MacGuffins in place, it is up to Goku and his new pals as they set off on a whirlwind adventure to stop Piccolo before it is too late.
xcept while Dragonball Evolution may be passable entertainment for easily impressed ten-year-old boys anyone else would probably want to give it a skip. The movie’s biggest problem is that it is all talk and very little action. The action scenes are all rather perfunctory and underwhelming. The talk consists of a lot of scenes with Mr Miyagi teaching Daniel san how to use his powers. Sorry, different movie.
The only highlights are Justin Chatwin’s hairstyle and the sight of the usually constipated Chow Yun-Fat loosening up and trying to have some fun for a change. The acting is bad, yes, but it isn’t all the actors’ fault: the dialogue is atrocious. Here and there some of them at least try to have some with their roles and inject some humor into the proceedings.
