I believe that if you and I were Stephen Chow, I would be ashamed to promote this so-called "Dragon Ball". At the same time, I also believe that if Stephen Chow hadn't been put on the air, although it is difficult to guarantee that the movie will be restored to the original, at least it will not be as unreliable as it is today. If the movie "Dragon Ball" is not in the name of "Dragon Ball", this third-rate fantasy film that has been completely defeated has absolutely no elements worthy of our attention and attracting us to pay for the theater. It is the only little value left. It was also tossed by the film's clumsiness to the point of being "incomplete". Not to mention that fans of the original book don't buy it, even if they haven't read the original book, they won't think there is any merit in this movie - this is a Western-style hodgepodge that is even more crumbling than "Kung Fu King". Together with The King of Kung Fu, this film has formed two striking pillars of shame. With their "mighty" attitude, they have shown the world how powerless Westerners are in mastering oriental themes.

In "Dragon Ball", you don't expect many eye-pleasing kung fu scenes. In the film, whether it is Eastern or Western, there is an unbelievable clumsiness in fists and feet. This film should have more dazzling Kung Fu scenes than "Kung Fu King", but the most interesting element in this film is not as good as "DOA", which does not use punches and legs. The blond Wu Kun (fortunately, the protagonist was translated as "Wu Kun" in this film, because I don't believe that this foreigner is the simple and lovely Monkey King in the original book) after killing him. Needless to say, he really should go to the Michael Angarano learned two tricks. Even in the interview, Chow Yun-fat, who has practiced Tai Chi, is not necessarily better than this foreigner in the film. The lucky move of practicing Turtle Qigong is the most irritating I have ever seen. Yes, according to the speed of luck, anyone in the original book can beat him to the ground (Chow Yun-fat said in an interview that he had never read the original book of "Dragon Ball" at all, as far as his performance in the film, I totally believe what he said.). Perhaps the director also understood the lack of action design, so at the climax of the film, he completely entered the stage of qigong sparring, which is somewhat related to the original, but the clumsy special effects reminded the audience almost all the time— - These scenes are completely studio shot.

Of course, the action elements are far from the film's most outrageous. For all readers who like the original, it is a disaster to enter the film to watch such a film. Except for the Great Demon King Piccolo, Son Gohan and Bulma, almost all the characters in the film are subverting our beauty of the original. remember. In the original book, the Saiyans who beat the Namekians to find their teeth turned into Piccolo's lackeys in the film. The most outrageous adaptation is that Wukong, who is simple in nature, also began to try his best to please the girls. This change directly turned this so-called Oriental Rubik's Cube film into an American "male version of gray" for a large part of the time. The story of "girl", this kind of setting that uses bad streets in Hollywood sex comedies was shamelessly moved by the screenwriter into this film.

It can be said that it is heartbreaking to see such a film. The "Dragon Ball" movie was rarely filmed last time, but such a crumbling freak appeared. I believe that all fans of the original book are reluctant to admit that this is a film version of "Dragon Ball", in this film I have no other elements except to see the irresponsible and shoddy production of the producer and director Make a good impression on me. If you are unfortunate enough to pay to enter the film and watch this film, then all you have to do is to firmly remember the name of the director Huang Yiyu, and then remind your wallet not to be fooled by this guy for the second time!

    Grandpa Gohan: In a time before many can remember, our planet faced its greatest challenge. A warlord named Piccolo camed from beyond the stars, bringing darkness and chaos to our once peaceful world. Aided by his disciple Oozaru, the evil pair brought the human race to the brink of annihilation. Cities and countries crumbled beneath them. Countless lives were lost. But... finally, a group of brave warriors created the Mu Fu Ba, a powerful enchantment that imprisoned Piccolo deep within the Earth. With his master captured, Oozaru disappeared, and balance was slowly returned to our world. And so it has remained for thousands of years, until now.
