      I'm outraged that such a movie exists

      I was already lying in bed when I remembered writing this, but when I think about watching such a rubbish movie at night in a damn bad movie theater, I get up and write this thing out of rage. I'm afraid I'll forget it if I miss it today!
        
        The movie theater I entered alone had not yet opened when I entered. Half of the people were seated, and it seemed that they were all in pairs. All of them stared at me with big eyes and small eyes, like watching a beast! Then an uncle in the...

      Dragon Ball live-action version

      Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball" is an indelible memory of my elementary and junior high school.
          At that time, there were two classmates who had more rice at home, and they both bought a full set. I searched left and right, and read it piece by piece. However, it is often borrowed one book after another, and read it out of order.
          When I grew up, I watched the anime and theatrical versions of Dragon Ball, but I always felt that the manga was my favorite. I've been looking forward...

      Dragon Ball in 1990; Dragon Ball in 2009

      In 1991, Hainan Photography Publishing House (an animation holy land in the minds of the 1970s) published "Dragon Ball". Since then, Monkey King, Kiki, Turtle Immortal, and Super Saiyan have become the memory of an era. In fact, for many people, animation is animation, and its advantage lies in that it can surpass all visual and auditory limitations, allowing imagination to reach a peak. The so-called universe is as far away as you want! The expression of animation works is based on the...

      It's over, it's terrifying

      I didn't even want to give half a star. For the JQ's sake of the protagonists, one star is enough. Well, I don't want to say how bad it is, I just want to talk about JQ, JQ (for the movie only = =)
         First of all, when Gohan met Piccolo, I was cute for the first time. What happened to the two of them back then? In Gohan's unyielding eyes, I vaguely saw the tangled ambiguity of that year. What happened in those days? Let the two have such a deep hatred. It's a pity that Gohan died before...

      "Desecration of the Classics"

      What is the blasphemy of the classics, you will know by watching this bad movie. First of all, I am not against cottages, and of course cottages should have fun. The humor in this movie is boring, and the fights are basically punches and legs. It's hard to see the so-called shock wave, but it's simplified into a simple computer stunt. Not to mention the weakened servants around the Great Demon King and himself, just talking about the shaping of a character like Turtle Immortal is a complete...

    Filming location

    The production team recruited more than two hundred local martial artists and their coaches and transported them to this remote place to arrange a large-scale martial arts training scene. All the actors and staff have to face the harsh weather every day, from the cold near zero in the morning, all the way up to about 26 degrees at noon, and there are occasional sand storms that are blown by the wind. In the subsequent filming, the...

    Evaluation action

    The audience thinks that the fighting special effects scenes of the film are indeed gorgeous, and its main line is not very different from the original, but the film length of less than 90 minutes is so short that it loses the spirit of the original and becomes a typical American youth drama. The diehard Dragon Ball fans are a little disappointed. (Tencent Entertainment Evaluation) 
    Although the plot is compact and the pictures are...
