The trailer for "Dragonball: Evolution" made thR movie look so laughably bad that I couldn't help but tag along with some friends to see it this weekend. Now, I wasn't a huge fan of the series when I was younger, but even I could tell within the first 15 minutes that the movie was one of the worst I have ever seen. The movie revolves around the search for seven Dragonballs by the main characters. Piccolo, portrayed by James Marsters, wants to gather them to destroy or conquer the world: He says both at one point or another in the movie, which is one example of the film'& poor standards for continu­ ity. Also racing against the clock is Goku (Justin Chatwin) and his cohorts, who want the Dragonballs in order to stop location at Piccolo.
