Dragonball Evolution is a movie which is inspired by a famous manga Dragonball by Akira Toriyama.Even though this movie is not exactly the same like the original stories because many changes that is done by the producer,but this movie have a quite good respons in Japan.

The story begin when goku receive a dragonball from his grandpa which also his master.Lord Picollo the evil warlord is also looking for dragonball and try to collect them to conquer the world.Like in the manga if we collect 7 dragonball,the dragon Shen Long will appear and he will garnted one wish.

Someday when Goku were invited by Chi Chi his friend to his party.His grandfather was attacked by Lord Picollo and died.His grandfather told him to go to inform his friend master Roshi about Picollo’s coming and train with him.

Then Goku meets Bulma,the daughter of the Capsule Corporation owner.Her father were killed by Picollo’s follower, Bulma is also collecting dragonball for her father and her own purpose.So they decided to go together.Finally they meet master Roshi,and master Roshi take Goku and Bulma to the elder’s place which has imprison Picollo deep down the earth long ago.

But now they didn’t have much strength like in the old days.In their way Goku,master Roshi,and Bulma were trap into a hole and meet Yamcha.Yamcha is a thief.He want to help them as the substitute for money. Master Roshi trains Goku in the elder’s place,to improve his ability to fight Picollo.And Chi Chi also helping Goku to train.

Picollo knows about Roshi’s plan so he hunt them down.He send his follower to kill Goku and to sneak inside and undercover as Chi Chi to steal the dragonball.Goku manage to survive from the attack.But the dragonball were stolen.So Goku and all of his friend chase Picollo before he manage to call Shen Long and fullfiled his wishes.And they made it.Goku defeated Picollo.

This movie is different from the original manga.The story lines is also easy to predict.If you expected real chaos like in the manga you might be disappointed,but so far this movie is not a bad movie after all.
