Dragonball Evolution becomes an eunuch

Click on the image below to see this weeks movie ranking in Japan.
















One person sent me an email to my old blog site stating that my opinion of the Dragonball Evolution movie was not accurate. http://melmika.sampa.com/melmika-s-site/trivia-thoughts/anti-dragonball.htm

My comment was: "The more I read about it, see the movie trailers and comments from just about everyone like me who grew up watching Dragonball Z/GT, I can honestly say that this will be the worst movie Hollywood has ever made."

This person clearly was upset:

"Ur and idiot, its not based of the Z series or GT, it based the king picollo saga=dragonball. watch the movie b4 you make entire pages of incorrect information"


In Japan, the Movie Studio did not show Dragonball Evolution to movie critics so many people did not fully know what the movie was about. So opening week it was the #3 movie in Japan. Next week it was #8; followed a week later at #11. Now you couldn't find its ranking in Japan because the listings only goes as so far.
日本では、映画配給社側は公開前の映画評論家による映画の評価、総評を発表せず、どのような内容か多くの人達には充分に知らされたいなかった(ように思う)。公開一週目は3位にランキング。二週目は8位、次の週では11位。今では見当たらないしとうに下位に落ち込んでいる。

A few friends emailed me stating that it feels almost like an illusion. Heavy advertising for many weeks and now they can't find any information anywhere about the movie. Except for a Play Station movie version game no one wants to buy. One friend said the movie is more enjoyable IF you look at it as a parody. Many theaters have already stop showing Dragonball Evolution due to poor ticket sales.
何人かの友人がくれたメールでは、なんだか内容はほとんど勘違いな有様だったようだ。大量の広告を展開した割には、今では映画についてのインフォはどこにも見かけることがない、誰も欲しがらないんじゃないかなと思われるプレイステーションのゲームの宣伝以外は。友人の一人は『もし見るのなら、アレは原作パロなんだと考えた方が楽しめるんじゃないかな。』多くの劇場は早々に取りやめ残ったのは販売されるはずの哀れなチケットだけだ。

As to the person who emailed me about how I was giving incorrect information I hope you can for give me. And I am sorry. The next time Hollywood makes an American version of a Japanese anime and/or manga I will promise to get all my facts straight before stating (not describing the movie as you, homer4858@gmail.com stated) that it will be the worst movie Hollywood has ever made. Plus I will remember to put a comma between the word Dragonball and the letter Z as I forgot to do in my old blog site.
僕にメールをくれたまったく知らない君へ。間違った情報を書いてしまい誤解させてしまった。悪かった、どうか赦してほしい。次のジャパニメーションや日本漫画のアメリカ版ハリウッド映画は、史上最低最悪の(君<4858@gmail.com>のように記述を湾曲して曲解する)映画になるであろう『DBE』よりずっと信用できることだろう。思い出したよ、僕の旧ブログで『Dragonball』と『Z』の間にコンマを入れ忘れてた。
