    So I'm kind of surprised that no one made a thread about this yet. For those of you that don't know the movie came out yesterday or I guess it would be two days ago now in Japan. Now before I start talking about what the Japanese thought of it, I'll tell you what I thought of the 30 mins I forced myself to watch. Yes you read correctly I forced myself to watch 30 mins of that junk. I was able to get an xvid copy of it, it cuts off some parts but its whole for the most part. Anyways that ---- sucked. Not even in terms of the anime cause I know they were gonna mess up some parts, but this is completely unacceptable. It's not even Dragonball anymore. Like it really isn't. It's just some fake ass story with the same character names. I think it's completely understandable that the Japanese thought this was a parody of the series. Seriously go check the news, the only good Japanese reviews it's getting are from the people that thought it was supposed to be a comedy. That's kind of sad.

    Classic anime about huge guys blowing aliens and ---- up with fireballs that come out of their hands doesn't seem to translate into a great live action film in my head, but to the Japanese...

    Yea, I thought it would be a waste of space when I first read of it being made.. Then I saw a few snippets in the previews and thought it might be okay, if not decent. Then I caught a 4-5 minute clip of it and it totally blew me away. t - r - a - s - h.

    Unfortunately nowadays good movies are hard to come by, even with a 100+ million dollar budget.

    Yeah I watched a little bit of it that someone posted on a video site, and it was pretty painful. I knew it would suck since it was first announced FOX was doing it though(I mean c'mon it's FOX what can you expect?).

    Bulma's not either, and Goku is an alien not a human so he doesn't have to be asian.
