I know I agree!

I think they should of got a Japanese director.

But still I want to see the movie.

And Goku is so depressed in the movie, when he is supposed to be cheerful. -_-

So the DBZ live action film has been released in theaters eh?

I watched the trailer a few weeks back and I must say, I thought it was totally pathetic.
I have been a DBZ fan since I was just a child, and this movie doesn't do it justice at all.

That's what you get when you let American Cinemas try and re-create a classic anime with live-acting. I don't intend on seeing it.
I hope anyone who watched it, saw at least one good quality from the DragonBall universe...

The worst part is both Master Roshi and Bulma are Asian... But miraculously Goku looks like a character from Beverly Hills 90210.


And Piccolo doesn't even look like Piccolo.

I own the ORIGINAL Dragon Ball live action movie... and I think it will probably be better than this FOX craplog.
