Based on the manga Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama, Dragonball Evolution failed to honor the source material and live up to the legacy of the world-famous anime it spawned. Actor James Marsters, who portrayed Lord Piccolo in the film, described Dragonball Evolution as “offensively bad” in an interview on Inside Of You with Michael Rosenbaum. This review is apt when Dragonball Evolution has become one of the most reviled movies in the Dragon Ball timeline and one of the most hated live-action anime adaptations of all time.
