Now this one is a little too easy to comprehend as everyone (or mostly everyone) would agree with me on the subject of the movie Dragon Ball: Evolution. To say it bluntly and frankly, it sucked. It was horrible, terrible, not even the slightest bit of having it called or being closed to call something from the DragonBall Universe. I mean they took a lot of s**t out of proportions and failed to make it their own little story. Listen, for those who have not yet seen the new DragonBall film: Don't. It'll save you an hour and a half of your life as well as 5-6 bucks (depends on where you are, prices may vary).

The logics DragonBall Evolution Breaks:
1. Goku goes to a school
2. Goku has already experienced girls before Bulma
3. Goku Transforms under an eclipse
4. Piccolo's attenea are stuck in his head
5. Roshi got hair
6. Yamcha has no powers
7. Bulma uses weapons
8. Goku has no tail
9. Grampa Gohan was still alive around for Goku's 18th birthday
10. Capsules are bigger than originally depicted.
11. The Oozaru is much smaller than originally depicted.
12. Chi Chi going to the same school as Goku
13. Mai (or at least I think that was Mai) was a skilled fighter
14. Piccolo used some machine to produce his monsters
15. Grampa Gohan died by Piccolo
16. He flew in his first fight with Piccolo, not having to propel himself with the Kamehameha wave.
17. Roshi's 'island' is in a big city
18. And more (but can't remember all)

What it should be:
1. Goku never went to school, he is a mountain boy.
2. Goku never knowing what a girl looks like until meeting Bulma.
3. Saiyans must transform under a FULL MOON.
4. A namek's attenae sticks out.
5. Roshi has no hair.
6. Yamcha knows how to fight with wolf fang fist.
7. Bulma never used a weapon at all, she's too scared.
8. Goku is supposed to have a tail, no tail = no transformation.
9. Gohan was dead while Goku was still a kid.
10. Capsules are smaller
11. Oozaru are about as big as a tall building
12. Chi Chi didn't go to school either (as was depicted), especially not a public school in a city. She was most likely home schooled by her Father the Ox King.
13. Mai is a somewhat decent fighter, but when she is up against someone very strong, she quivers.
14. Piccolo vomits up an egg that produces his minions.
15. Gohan was killed by Goku when he was in the transformed Oozaru form.
16. Goku propells himself up to Piccolo with the Kamehameha wave and kills him.
17. Roshi's 'island' is in the middle of an ocean, an actual island.
18. And more

What's worse is that they're planning on comming up with a sequel. Now there were only a few thing shown in the movie that can be appreciative, one is how they done the Ki. It was pretty interesting on how they made streams of light much like the lifestream of FFVII be put to use as Ki energy. The second involves the Dragon Balls, and how the numbered stars they got moves around, that too was interesting. And lastly involve the capsules, bringing in a transformers like feel to it. Like instead of seeing the poof of smoke, you see how they get so small and into the capsuls into the first place or the reverse.

Now those three are pretty good ideas, but they still shouldn't have made the movie in the first place. Either that or they at least stick to the storyline better. DragonBall: Evolution, big dissapointment. Don't watch it. I came in with low expectations and came out with expectations met.
