My Review
Source Material: Based on Dragonball manga / anime
Acting and Dialogue: C-, umm yeah...could have been way better, very cheese
Art Direction: D, can’t call this art
Cinematography: D, nothing that appealed to me
Direction: C+, had descent pace, and the director has good style.
Sound and Music: C, good for a pseudo-action/adventure
VFX: D, scene way better FX before.
Overall: C, very flawed movie but somewhat entertaining, so rent it at least.
