1. Brian - 2 stars
"The Curse of the Blood Rubies in the Dragonball series was a major disappointment for me. The storyline felt very repetitive and lacked originality. The filmmakers seemed to rely heavily on cheap action scenes and overused clichés, which made it difficult for me to stay engaged. Additionally, the animation quality was subpar and didn't do justice to the iconic characters. Overall, this movie failed to capture the essence of the Dragonball series and left me feeling unsatisfied."
2. Sarah - 2 stars
"I had high expectations for The Curse of the Blood Rubies in the Dragonball series, but unfortunately, it fell short. The plotline was confusing and lacked cohesiveness, making it hard to follow along. The action scenes were poorly choreographed and lacked the excitement that the previous Dragonball movies had. Furthermore, the character development was weak, and I found it hard to connect with any of them. Overall, this film felt like a cash-grab rather than an authentic addition to the Dragonball series."
3. Michael - 1 star
"The Curse of the Blood Rubies in the Dragonball series was an absolute disaster. The writing was lazy, filled with clichés, and lacked any depth. The characters felt one-dimensional and were reduced to simplistic stereotypes. The animation quality was terrible, with choppy movements and poorly designed backgrounds. The action sequences were uninteresting and failed to deliver any thrills. As a fan of the Dragonball series, I was extremely disappointed with this movie and cannot recommend it to anyone."
4. Emily - 2 stars
"The Curse of the Blood Rubies in the Dragonball series was a letdown for me. The pacing was off, and the story felt rushed and poorly developed. The dialogue was uninspiring and lacked the witty banter that I had come to expect from the Dragonball franchise. Additionally, the animation was lackluster, and the character designs seemed inconsistent. While there were a few entertaining moments, overall, this movie failed to capture the magic of the Dragonball series and left me wanting more."
