Critics rating: 15%

While both the manga and anime series are beloved by fans, this live-action adaptation failed to garner support or love. Critics said the movie was clichéd and dull and far removed from its source material. Screenwriter Ben Ramsey even apologized for the movie in 2016.

"To have something with my name on it as the writer be so globally reviled is gut-wrenching," he wrote to writer Derek Padula. "I spent so many years trying to deflect the blame, but at the end of the day it all comes down to the written word on page and I take full responsibility for what was such a disappointment to so many fans. ... To all the Dragon Ball fans out there, I sincerely apologize."
