I can't believe no one has asked, "WHERE THE HELL IS KRILLIN?"
If you're going to have mai, you HAVE to have emperor pilaf. And that fox ninja guy. Anyone remember his name?
The original Dragon Ball was fairly decent. Z sucked. GT sucked.
Predictions.
This movie will create a new section in blockbuster away from sci-fi, action, or comedy. It will be placed on a small shelf in the back of the store all alone under the genre "blasphemous abominations."
Also, I will see it opening weekend.

I mean, Goku, Master Roshi, Piccolo, Mei, Yamcha, EVEN BULMA!?!?!? BULMA!?!?!? Wow. How in God's name do you exceed the amount of EPIC FAILURE said about this movie from even mentioning of a DB movie from the beginning? I mean, we knew this couldn't work, but COME ON!!!!!!............This is one for the history books. Move over black president...:rolleyes2
Didn't think GT was that bad.Originally Posted by bipper
You really need to watch those movies again. You have no idea what level of awful you are referring to. I don't know why they chose The Invisible (Justin Chatwin) as our Kamemeha Waver but James Marsters is one my favorite actors and I have faith in his performance as a villain. Though I admit, I'm not sure how well the fight scenes will turn out.
And about Cowboy Bebop. Typically, the show reminds something of Firefly. I think if Joss Whedon took the reigns it could turn out rather nice.
They need that cheap filler in anime to get away with having what would basically be a long boring wait until the desired fight scenes come around. Action movies are about the action and are always meant to get right to the action which means they usually don't have time for minute details or crude humor. Look at Witch Hunter Robin. Up until the moments when Robin was torching the spare ribs out of people, I was bored enough to want a gun to my head threatening my life just to keep me watching with feigned interest. It was my mistake believing that WHR was meant to be watched by action fans when it clearly is not. The fact is Dragon Ball is an action show and as long as the fighting looks cool and there's plenty of it and it gets to it fast, none of the other stuff matters.
This is more awesome than tv.So awesome! I can't wait! I wanna watch it now!Ah ha ha ha ha ha yeees.This is going to be the best movie ever.

Except Dragon Ball is a Comedy Adventure with Action in it. Dragon Ball Z is an Action show. This is the problem the super nerds have. Movie looks like way too much serious business to be properly called 'Dragon Ball', instead taking DBZ's much more action-based focus.

Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
Seen it. I'd categorize it as an enjoyable bad movie, although not as bad nor as enjoyable as, say Street Fighter. Of course, SF is my benchmark for all cheesy live action adaptations of animation/video games.
The leads, Goku and Chi Chi, were miscast and unconvining. Emily Rossum at least brings pluck to her character, and Chow Yun-Fat embodies some of Roshi's character if nothing of his appearance. James Marsters was neither great nor terrible. Piccolo's my favorite character from the series, so that was a bit of a letdown.
Watch for Bulma's one lock of hair dyed cyan.
One thing confused me: (SPOILER)who was the woman tending to Piccolo in the credit cookie? Was she the woman that Mai took the Dragon Ball earlier in the film?
One of the worst films ever
