1/10
Even those who aren't fans of the original cartoon will hate this.

Warning: Spoilers
"Dragonball Evolution" must be one of the most pathetic movies ever made. I wasn't expecting this to be like the anime series, I only was expecting this to be remotely good and yet even on this it fails miserably. "Dragonball Evolution" combines a lot of predictable clichés and stereotypes from every single fantasy movie from the recent years with terrible performances and horrible, really horrible special effects.

No only none of the characters were remotely likable (If the idea was to attract a new audience changing the personality of the characters of the anime show, it fails mostly because this new vision of these "original" characters is based on the most uninspiring and bland kind of stereotypes)

"Dragonball Evolution" is the perfect example of everything what is wrong with live action adaptations of cartoons: Neither the story or the characters have at least a slight resemblance to the source material, the visual effects are extremely poor, the script is incredibly stupid and childish. And the worst part is that not even remotely entertaining to watch, being one of the most boring, generic-looking movies I've seen in my entire life.

"Dragonball Evolution" is like a combination of the Power Rangers and High School Musical. It sucks. If you like the anime series "Dragonball", avoid this. And if you don't I still recommend you to avoid this horrible film because is boring, dumb and poorly made.

0/10 (And I would rate with a negative score if I could)
