Goku, played by Westerners, completely lost the essence of Goku.
Goku has a guts of bravery and candor that I can't capture in the movie. Justin Chatwin is very handsome and handsome, but with red lips and white teeth, he always feels that it does not match the image of Wukong. Frankly speaking, Justin's performance is not bad, but it is definitely not good. At best, it can only be said that he has completed his duty as an actor in a satisfactory manner.
I don't understand how the director would find Chow Yun-fat to play the kame sennin. In fact, it is difficult to associate the short, dry old man in the comics and cartoons with a kame sennin who is taller and stronger than Wukong.
Chichi, I don't want to comment too much, it's just a dispensable vase. Of course, some people may even think that such an actress who follows Lucy Liu's route is not enough to be called a vase.
Bulma has gone from a little girl who only screams and runs when she encounters danger in the comics to almost the most capable woman of all the women in the movie.
The actor Leping (Yamcha) looks like a muscled version of Du Dewei. And the director hastily didn't even let people use the killer "Rogafūfūken" (Rogafūfūken). Basically like Kiki, he can be regarded as the "Male Vase No. 1" in the movie.
There is also a character who was just added for no reason, that is, the female subordinate of the Great Demon King Piccolo. Personally, I think she looks prettier than the heroine.
Many adults like to read the comics or cartoon versions of Dragon Ball, because although they are comics and cartoons, they are rich in content, and even if they are adults, they still find it interesting. However, Dragonball Evolution, which is only 1 hour and 21 minutes, makes people feel that the plot is pale and weak. There is one place that is very unreasonable: Wukong has the only wish that can only be fulfilled with Dragon Ball, almost without thinking about saving the Turtle Immortal, who has only known each other for a few days. ? At least it should be a little psychological struggle or something.
Originally, using a Western face to play Wukong has already made many hardcore fans (such as me) feel a little awkward in their psychological acceptance, and some lines have to force Wukong to imprint typical European and American thinking. For example, Wukong said to his grandfather at the beginning: "teach me how to get girls", which really struck me. Wukong is such a pure child. When he was 12 years old, he didn't even distinguish between men and women. When he got married, he didn't understand what marriage really meant. So I reckon the movie will at best fool western teenagers growing up in those french fries burgers.
