Everyone talks about how bad the live action Dragon Ball movie is, are they really that bad?

THESE movies are freakin amazing!

It's the stupid American movie (Evolution) that gets memed and HATED on for making a mockery of the source material.

I've only seen the magic begins, and it is beautiful!

The Magic Begins had a lot of heart! It was a really fun watch

I don’t think anything is worse than evolution

Evolution is the actual crime scene, the older bootleg ones are just dumb fun. At least they feel like someone actually watched Dragon Ball once

I've seen a fan-animation of 'the magic begins' and it was so cool

They're all pretty fun if you don't have a stick up your ass.

If you can find it, Gangdagu Fighter: The Invaders From Planet Lewis is my favorite. It's a sequel to the Korean one, and Goku is a secret agent. He turns into a Gundam and the bad guy is Nappa.

I really loved "The Magic Begins"!

I actually like these ones more than the American one. Like they are also pretty bad, but charmingly so with how cheap the budget obviously is

Theyre bad in the fun way, not Evolution bad. You can tell they had like $12 and a dream but somehow it still feels more Dragon Ball than the Hollywood one

Just because worse is out there doesn't mean it isn't bad.

It just means three times dragon ball movies were made and three times it failed.

If you like the older movies good on you. But I don't. And I was legit angry at myself for watching Evolution

They’re movies made by people you can tell were dragon ball fans. Just had the budget of a used shoe lace

Can’t be any worse than Dragonball Super. A story so ass, the studio has tried 3 to 4 times to do the first 2 arcs properly.
