Double feature of FAIL
Last night, instead of sleeping, I decided to watch a double feature. First up was Dragonball Evolution. I can’t say enough bad things about this movie. It sucked more then I could have ever imagined. Stephen Chow and Chow Yun Fat both should be ashamed. Stephen Chow has lost it, after Shoalin Soccer and The God Of Cookery, it seems all down hill. For Chow Yun Fat it seems this fall from grace has been going on for much longer. Every frame of this film just makes me wonder why it was ever even made.
Next up, Dragonlance: The Dragons of Autumn Twighlight. I loved the trilogy when I was in my mid to late teens, and this film almost ruined it for me. The animation quality was horrible, and who ever had the idea of mixing crappy 2D animation with equally terribly bad 3D needs to get out of this business now. The 3D was used on the dragons and the draconions, thigh it looks like only 2 models were ever made, one for each, they didn’t even bother to hue shift let alone redo textures between the dragons,save one which they made default 128 grey. This film encompassed the entire first book, that is alot of action for just 90 minutes. Too bad it was all crap. For the most part the voice acting was pretty ok, except for Raistlin, voiced by Keifer Sutherland. The first time Raistlin cast a spell I almost spit my drink out. It sounded like: “Caramon is pissed go park his car” it was so bad, none of the other casting phrases sounded any better. This is the worst thing in my opinion they could have done for Dragonlance, hell even a kid with his friends LARPING the first book with his dad’s camcorder would have been a step up.
