Don't forget the Airbending.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I mean, in all honesty, the Saiyan Saga could be a movie's worth (It's called Man of Steel, haha), the Namek Saga would probably be a two-parter - one with the Namek stuff and one about the fight with Freeza. Cell could be split into two, with Cell coming as a cliffhanger for Part 2. And Buu...
...Buu probably wouldn't work. Mostly because there are no underlying themes to it. Or, I guess it COULD work, but there is SO much they could remove without changing the overall story.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!Translating a shonen series to film is nearly impossible because of the significant differences between the mediums. For instance, as noted above, the fight with Frieza is long enough to be its own film, but you CAN'T make a film that is just the one fight scene. Movies need to be paced much quicker than that.
So Frieza would have to be the climax of the Namek film, cutting out nearly all of the fight. When your only options are a shitty adaptation or a shitty movie, perhaps this is a project best never completed.

Like him going Form 2 in rage after Vegeta takes his Balls or 3 when he figures out Dende has the password so he needs to get back quick and then 4 when Vegeta calls himself a Super Saiyan? The power levels would be all messed up but it would probably help the story if Frieza doesn't have to go from 1-4 in one single battle.

It would be possible, but it would remove the entire point of having them. He'd just be transforming for the hell of it. It's easier to just cut those forms entirely.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!By cutting it with a pair of giant scissors, you could shorten the whole Namek affair to fit into a very fast paced ninety minute movie. It'd never be able to stand up as its own movie, but you could make a decent adaptation.

Goku knows what's right.
I'd be all for a Krillin/Jaco tag team. Who needs Saiyans?
The Adventures of Dumplin could also deal with the other story mode chapters. Even without the DLC, there's an episode or two's worth of content in the Bardoly story.
Also, they need to at least show the post-credits scene of PATROLLER training the new recruits.
I have a message from another time...

In Dragon Ball Evolution, Goku is Generic Teen Lead 46, Chichi is Generic Love Interest 93, Bulma is Generic Female Sidekick 112, Roshi is Generic Quirky Master 23, Yamcha is Generic Badass rogue 35993, etc.
Put simply, Dragon Ball Evolution is... a generic teenaged boy hero movie with vague connections to the license.
