I'll admit that some things can be so bad that they're funny... But when said horrible movie is based on a liscense I really like, it just makes me want to bang my head against a wall.

I know that feeling all to well... want wanting to ram the book/manga/anime down the scriptwriters throat after forcing them to watch/read it 10 times.

So yeah, I saw Dragon Ball Evolution. As my first date. I love being a nerd... And also I love being in love with a nerd~

Yeah it was bad. That should be obvious when it's Adaptation Decay in the form of an American movie of a Japanese Anime of Manga, so at least it was a Good Bad. Master Roshi was still funny... shame he couldn't pronounce Gohan's name right. And surprisingly, some of the fights weren't bad. Some of them were surprisingly bad, but hey... Aw, it's fun if you know not to take it seriously.

It earned a Face Palm, but not a Wall Bang.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Me and my teacher had a hour or so long talk about the DBZ movie. We both think it will be a
"Good Movie" but not a good "Dragon Ball Moive" if you know what I mean. ;-) Like if you have a cup cake and a brownie,sure the brownie is good,but it is not a cup cake.

Actually, the movie is based on Dragon Ball, not Dragon Ball Z (DB is the first part of the series, it's about Goku as a kid and is generally less serious than Z). And it's quite obvious from the trailers that, aside from some character names, the movie has very little similarity to the manga or anime.

Saw the trailer of the movie.

I was like... "THEY SCREWED UP THE WHOLE DB STORYLINE!!! *sighs*"

It was the worst movie ever, just like Mortal Kombat Annihilation... :-(
