I watched Dragonball Evolution last night. Ok here I go my attempt at a review.
I didn't hate it. Granted I didn't really like it either, it just is.
Mostly it's a confused mess no quite sure how true to stay to the source of how contemporary to go, for example Master Roshi's place. Quite clever. But, could of easily been how it should of been. Also the capsules where quite clever.
It essentially fails because it isn't either thing. Not a retelling in modern day nor a faithful adaption.
Ignoring the mistakes in the plot and the completely wooden acting except for Yun-Fat Chow who is quite good, the effects were average at best other people have done Dragonball fights alot better.
So Overall. Brainless, Effects were Bland and plot holes so big they could fit Shenlong though 
Oh Emma Rossum was fit. But not totally unwatchable. End.
