I was pumped when I herd they were making a live action dbz movie. I just watched it and I was very disappointed. The cartoon was awsome, why make so many changes? They should have kept it true to the original. If they did a movie for the first season of dbz, I would b all about it. And if they were gong 2 completely fuck up the story line at least do a better job at it… make Goku older, the fighting cooler, maybe throw in freeza. And make goku go supersayin! This movie was a horrible adaptation of the amazing original cartoon. Way to fuck it up ass holes.

Ooooooh, really? Well if he wasn’t white and he wasn’t asian then what the heck was he then? He looked pretty white to me on the series. I think the movie was great. I don’t care what you all thought about it. It’s my opinion and I’m entitled to it. And another thing, I think Justin Chatwin played a good Goku. So if you all don’t like it then don’t watch it and let the one’s who do like it watch it.

well I’m glad Rodney agrees that the movie was crap. I dont have to keep believing that you are a total Lune heh jk… Anyway I suspected this adaptation would fail, maybe someone else can pick up the pieces and start over like they did with “The Incredible Hulk,” and make something halfway decent. I just wish they didnt adapt the saiyan part out of the adaptation just because the “Chosen One” theme has been done too many times.

goku being white didn’t bother me*
also the whole tail thing guys goku lost that when he was a teen but he did have it when he fought with the first piccolo but if this is the 2nd piccolo then yea it would make perfect sense of him not having a tail… and also they coulda change the tail to something with his genes that transform him to eliminate the need of the “tail” plus we all mostly like the super saiyan thing o well lol but yea characters in the movie are introduced into goku’s like way way way way later like seriously how do u expect to fit like hours worth of dragonball in the most the movie coulda been is like 2 hours or a lil more.. unless the director had a great sense but i forgot the directors name but yea he was the director for final destination which was good but he should stick to his horror films but i was shock to find out stephen chow was a produce man lol i think stephen chow woulda been 10x better master roshi but that’s my opinion i know most asian ppl would agree with me

Yeah i agree somewhat with rodney

This is a adaptation i didn’t mind the cast at all the girls were hot like they were suppose to be.. goku being white to me (I’m asian trust me i was kinda shock to find that out) didn’t really but guys about krillin not being in the movie if you actually watch DB he isn’t introduced until way later….yea prtty much to sum it up it was not the cast or the script it was the director itself plus Anime for some reason is just alot harder to put into a movie than comic book heroes like iron man and spiderman and superman because they usually obtain there powers super fast but also at a crucial moment when they have internal problems, but superman he was already powerful most of us like him because of his superpowers prtty much and how he’s always 100% justice but back to anime the character usually gets more powerful as the story drags on same for comic book heroes but they obtain there powers usually a hell alot faster than anime heroes at least the famous anime and comic book heroes….but yea the director royally screwed this movie up like seriously.. what you guys saw was prtty much how the director and only the director saw in his head…. but dragonball is really hard to display in such a short time a adaptation was needed but ey the director f***ed this up big time it coulda made hundreds of millions of dollars.. i still don’t really know why they made this movie for children cause i read reviews and stuff and they said they made it for kids?? rodney can u shed some light on this??? this movie shoulda been pg13 like seriously this movie have already been advertised like most cartoons like spiderman and stuff they had like they own action figures and cards and stuff but i really did wish they portrayed the cast like in the anime seriously you coulda changed everything else but their personaility… yep and also the director is a major failure he’s trying to copy other director’s movie… like seriously the high school fight?? trying to copy spider-man i see but other movies to… seriously i understand the changes that had to be done but it was to severe and director blew like iron man what if tony stark was smart and still made the iron man but wasn’t a womanizer like that would still make the movie good but not great to the male audience o well it’s w/e i seriously i’m hoping that they make another db or dbz movie but with a different director they could use the same cast but just really need a different director with way major way better vision

Wow, your computer managed to calculate your own personal opinion that you feel you have to state like they are facts?

The movie sucked ass but for all sorts of reasons that were not any of the ones you mentioned.

EVERYTHING you said as “facts” were nothing but your personal preference. They watched the show, had the original creator sign off on their interpretation and put out something they figured the fans would love.

Bitter truth is that the reason it sucked is because it was a bad movie. That’s all.

I had a computer crunch the numbers and heres what it came up with…

Story:0%
Not one single story line concept was adapted from the DB series, not a single stinking one.

Characters:0%
Nobody’s personality matched or even came close to matching the personalities of their anime counterparts. Not a single stinking one.

Atmosphere:0%
Revamped for a unimaginative and culturally ignorant audience. I’m not insulting you, they did.

Special Effects:0%
Look, making a freaking beam of light doesnt need a supercomputer anymore, If low budget TV pilots can pull decent CG effects why couldn’t this movie stay true. Fact; it was pure ignorance, not money, that led to these kinds of decisions. Don’t believe me still? Google ‘the hunt for gollum’.

Naming:100%
The only thing they got right, the copyrights were handled by lawyers, who are probably the only DB fans considering they got the names correct. Good job guys!

Promotion:(who cares?)
DB took the world by storm, without freaking razor TV spots, or Superbowl ads, this movie flopped because the same fans that helped spread DB across the globe did not recommend this movie.

The numbers don’t lie, this movie was an insult and from now on DB fans will have to cover up for this train wreck.

coworker: You liked Dragon Ball? Wow…
me: The anime or the movie?
coworker: The anime? Is there a difference?

Thanks…

Changes dont ruin a movie. The movie ruined the movie.

And they didn’t exclude the possibility of Saiyans. They could easily add that in a sequel (which I doubt will happen)

And its JAMES Marsters.
