After our late night Star Trek show last Friday, my friends and I grabbed a bite to eat at the local diner, discussing upcoming movies we're looking forward to seeing. I'm not sure how Dragon Ball Evolution snuck into the conversation, but it was brought to my attention that the movie was already released in theaters. Really? Apparently so! Looking at the reviews, I can see why no one paid any special attention to this movie.
I thought this would at least have a fighting chance in the box office because Chow Yun Fat and James Marsters were a few credible names listed on the project. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to keep the film remotely afloat in the box office. Alas, speculation came to fruition as Dragon Ball was destined for failure. In addition, there were no marketing campaigns made for this movie as far as I could tell. The only offline presence this movie had were the horrible toys I saw warming the pegs at my local Walmart. Dragon Ball needs to stick to its animated form!
