Dragonball Evolution - some spoilers
The things I watch sometimes...
So, someone at some point told me that the Samurai Girl hot Asian chick was playing a character named Chi Chi who turns out to be Goku's alien mother. Not so much, turns out she becomes his wife at some point in the HOLYCRAPLONG manga series. So I spent half the movie waiting for Goku's total crush to hit that horrible Skywalker note, but no dice. That would have been a hilarious touch in a movie that so totally surreal.
Chow Yun Fat, I expect you to pull crap like this, but why are you groping the girl from Phantom of the Opera?! Why is she even here? Cause when I think "ass-kicking anime science babe" I TOTALLY think Emmy Rossum.
Also, Goku is a bit...tall. I mean, I know you couldn't shoot him as a midget, but, yikes. I don't mind that actor, but I think at some point he stopped trying. Or maybe the dialog was just that bad, because when he's all, "my grandpa's dead, I'm going to avenge him" it sounded a little bit like "We're out of milk, I'm heading to the White Hen."
And then there is Yamcha, who I recognized from Speed Racer - a surreal movie I enjoyed so much more - showing up out of nowhere because...why? Bulma needs someone to mack on until her son from the future shows up and reveals she doesn't stay with the thief guy forever?
Then of course UNEXPECTED ERNIE HUDSON IS UNEXPECTED! But I found it intensely snarky that he was creating the "mystical whatsit that will contain this foul creature." Yeah, he's gonna make the spiritual ghost pack, classy.
What a criminal underuse of James Marsters. Yeesh. Did his little hench chica even get a name?
