Dragonball Evolution:

It's been said already by just about everyone: This move is crap.

As much as I'd hate to inflict this painful experience on the reviewers on this site, they MUST see it. All of the reviews I have seen so far on this site have been hilarious, whether the movie is good or bad. But this is the one. THE ONE, and I want to see their reactions.

This one will be the movie that earns the bottom of the barrel score across the board, the almighty "F*CK YOU!!!"

Put discrepancies between the source material and the movie aside, as we all know things get massively hosed when taken to live action. We've seen it countless times. This one just doesn't even begin to pretend to be in the same storyline anymore while expecting the audience to suffer through 84 more minutes of pure trash than they need in their lives. Let me just summarize this entire film with this review, by folks who have seen anime quite a bit, and who were initially a bit optimistic about the title while other fans were already screaming foul before trailers were out, yet promotionals were already being released.

I really couldn't have said it any better, but I have a particular nitpick about how truly awful this is.

The make-up artist (note: stay away from any fashion tips from this crazy motherfucker!) managed to make a scientist/inventor look like a cheap whore, while at the same time make it look like James Marsters had a dog shit on his head - if that dog were fed a steady diet of spinach, chalk, and white crayons for a week. Then you have to take into consideration that it took the artist seventeen hours to initially figure out how to affix Vulcan ears and a bleached dog squat onto Marsters' head. If they weren't going to use his voice, why bother with this crappy job? I mean, Marsters is a great looking fellow to start off with (if I were gay, yeah, I'd go for that), but it takes quite an effort to make him look like shit.

What kind of self-respecting effects crewmember can take

and

and come up with

The quote from here is the most comical I've seen from one of the cast members:

-----
How was it filming Dragonball in the extensive Piccolo make-up?

The first time we did the make-up, it took 17 hours, so four hours seemed like nothing. My costume looked great, but I couldn’t breathe in it.
-----

Why? He couldn't breathe because he was laughing too hard? What, exactly, was obstructing his mouth? If the costume looked "great" as in his words, was he really that much of a fan of the series? Not to really knock Marsters for his work in other projects, as I liked and respected him before Dog Turd Head became in fashion, but he's got to do something to recover a bit of public respect from this.

Like read a script before he signs onto another questionable title, or to not be afraid to look the make-up artist in the face and say (in his best Spike voice): "Are you F*CKING kidding me?! We've been sitting here for the last seventeen hours and this is the best you can do?"
