But that movie was an abomination.
Dragon Ball Zis still ripe for a more faithful live-action movie adaptation.
The previous film version was so poorly received that its unlikely Hollywood would take another stab at the property.
But theres one filmmaker out there whos proven that he could do it justice.
WithSucker Punch, Snyder set out to bring the creative freedom of the anime realm into big-budget blockbuster filmmaking.
Whenever Snyder adapts a well-known I.P., his style is rarely well-suited to the material.
He captured the imagery ofWatchmenbeautifully, but he missed the point of its anti-superhero satire.
He captured the coolness of Batman, but he also made him a merciless mass murderer.
ButDragon Ball Zis one property that might actually suit Snyders directorial sensibility.
Dragon Ball Z is the sequel series to Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball and continues the adventures of Goku. Along with his companions, Goku defends the Earth against various villains ranging from intergalactic space fighters and conquerors to powerful androids and nearly indestructible creatures.
