Default 'Dragonball: Evolution: Z Edition' - High-Def Digest Review

Nate has reviewed ''Dragonball: Evolution: Z Edition.' Sounds like Thanksgiving came early this year, and boy did it bring a fat turkey with it! Please stick a fork in this one. This Blu-ray fares a bit better, with respectable but flawed video, slightly better sound, and extras that further illuminate what went into making this mess. This is one to avoid.

You hit the nail on the head. This movie is an abomination.

I was surprised that they treated the franchise like this. I was under the impression it had a bigger fanbase. I always thought it was crap so I'm glad it bombed.

I watched DBZ as a kid. Saw every episode that came out. But this movie looks like a pos. I wanted to see this when it first started previewing for the theater but the more i watched the previews the less i wanted to see it. As a former fan of the series I can say I'll pass on watching this.

Wow, what a brutal review! I can't say I was ever a dragon ball fan, and I can now definetly say I won't be ever giving the series a chance with this film.

Anything beyond the original pen-and-paper comic is utter tosh, so this is not exactly a big surprise.

if you guys thought this review was brutal, then i'd hate to think what you guys would have thought about the "extended cut," as i went after this film like it killed my family. it didn't, but it did kill a small part of me, inside.

I hope it's not the part that reviews bad movies.

Because you've got Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past on deck, bra.

I never understood why Justin Chatwin chose this after several decent roles. Money? Recognition? If anything, it will push his career to STV.
