    That's right.. they took a crappy little cartoon and made it into a live action movie!!!

    Here's Hollywood "Hey this thing is a comic, comicbook movies sell!! let's do it."
    "yeah!"
    "alright"

    Just can't help but laugh at this.

    I have never been a fan of Dragonball, but it's by no means "a crappy little cartoon". It has a huge following and some die-hard fans.

    The movie sure looks like a failure, not for the reason that the cartoon is not big enough, but because it doesn't seem very well done and it has a "B film" feel to it (similar to Mortal Kombat).

    I made a thread about this movie several months ago. It's going to fail.

    It was a decent "cartoon", I wouldn't waste time making a live action variation though.

    Dragonball Z was better than Dragonball, but not by a lot. I'm going to see this because I've seen every Dragonball, DBZ and DBGT episode.

    I loved Dragon Ball Z growing up, but to put a white guy in the movie? This movie looks like The Forbidden Kingdom, even the white guy looks the same. What a fucking joke. This is a disgrace to one of the best manga/cartoons ever made.

    What's wrong with that? Last time I check, everyone in DB and DBZ was white.

    Pfft. If anime cartoonists won't give up their weird obsession with drawing themselves with white features, their characters will continue to be played by caucasians.

    Piccolo was green. They barely ever get representation in the main stream movie market. :(

    They should get Samuel L. Jackson for this role.

    I expected this to be bad anyway. Therefore, this doesn't not make me sad. Still sucks Duckman though.

    I think it's a let down to DBZ fans, but they'll watch anyway.

    I think this is the type of movie that should be done 100% with CGI. I just can't see it work in a live-action setting unless a ridiculous budget was given to it.
