Synopsis from GV webby:
Based on the popular Japanese manga created by Akira Toriyama, whose work spawned best selling graphic novels, video games and a phenomenally successful television series, Dragonball centers on the heroic Goku, a powerful warrior who protects the Earth from an endless stream of rogues bent on dominating the Universe and controlling the mystical objects from which the film takes its name.
This film, in my opinion, just stole the idea of the famous legendary comic book to make money. The movie was only 86 minutes long. Judging from the running time, you can tell that it will not turn out fantastic. If it weren't for the Dragonball fan that my buddy was, I would just watch the trailer of this movie.
Everything thing rushes in and out of the movie so quickly that I just felt irritated by it. I would consider it a low budget film. Or maybe they just spent the production fees on hair wax and push up bras for the ladies. Yes Push-Up bras. The movie definitely satisfied you with "half moons" and was never short of it.
However that did not make up for the film. Besides the hasty pace of the movie, most of the things were computer backdrops and graphics, that kinda saved some money on props. The story was nothing close to the original manga. It merely borrowed it's title, characters (that doesn't looked alike), skills and that is about it.
It would be an absolute waste of time and money going to the cinema to watch this movie. It was film for the sole purpose of making money. No movie passion, no fame, no aim for any movie awards.
I would not even recommend anyone to buy the DVD either. Unless you are expecting a lot of guest and you wouldn't be able to entertain all of them but you want something to keep them company. Presuming that your house has nothing else for them to do and they won't chat among themselves. If you just want to watch it because the title was the "wow Dragonball" then wait for the streaming video websites to host them.
I would rate this a 3 out of 10. For god sake don't watch it.
