Dragon Ball is an incredibly popular anime, so it makes sense that Hollywood decided to take a crack at a live-action adaptation. Maybe it would have been helpful if the movie was actually BASED on Dragon Ball in ways other than just the character names. Dragonball Evolution raises a lot of questions. Like why did Goku fling a fly in his grandpa’s mouth. How did Piccolo escape? Why does Goku carry a Dragonball to a teenager party? Why does Piccolo go to Goku’s home if he can sense that the ball isn’t there? Why didn’t Goku just explain himself to Roshi instead of fighting him? Why did Roshi waste a bunch of time in the pit if he was perfectly capable of jumping out? How does digging through that pit lead them to the top of an open-sky volcano? How did anyone think this movie was a good idea?
