New Live-Action Anime Movie Repeats Dragonball Evolution’s Mistakes 14 Years After The Failed Adaptation

A movie adaptation is always a risk, especially when it is tackling a well-loved property or developing an animated piece into the live-action realm, and unfortunately more often than not, these adaptations are flops, just like Dragonball Evolution and Netflix’s most recent anime adaptation, Knights of the Zodiac. In 2009, Dragonball Evolution became one of the worst anime movie adaptations ever. The film not only did poorly at the box office, but it also received bad reviews from critics and fans alike who slammed the movie for its script, and in particular, its lack of faith to the source material.
