UTTER CHAGRIN

• OH BABY, DON'T YOU KNOW I SUFFER? •
SO LIKE I TOLD THE 'CORNER I WOULD

I just got home from seeing Dragonball: Evolution.

I tried to look at it objectively, right? I was a huge fan of the anime when I was a kid and it was on Toonami (the old Toonami, not that newer one with the fugly robot). But I tried to watch it as if I had never seen/heard of the anime (relatively easy, since I forgot most of what happened in the series).

And just... kartos knows how embarrassing Twilight was, yeah? I had a lot of second-hand embarrassment from some of Edward's faces, but this. This is like Twilight, but about five times worse. It has ZERO villain development... or villain action... and just. Cringe, cringe, cringe. Piccolo basically lurks around and looks menacing. Goku has a fight scene with Piccolo's minion-girl-thing (I don't remember her character or name in the series, idk) and then IMMEDIATELY forgets about her and she hears the next ~plans of the hero group. He does this a second time after he fights Piccolo. COMPLETELY FORGETS HE'S THERE.

Cringe.

And then the monkey (I FORGOT THE DEMON'S NAME SO SUE ME) CG is just... what. It's like claymation King Kong. It's like they spent all the money on the chi CG and left everything else clinging.

Cringe.

I'm still cringing now.

JUST.

Oh my god. Don't pay money for it. HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN, SPIKE AND CHOW YUN FAT.

AND THEN... AND THEN ADDING A SCENE THAT HINTS TO A SEQUEL...

Someone hold me.
