    No, he's not british, the show is. I hate my Doctor Who loyalty. :lol 

    Now if Tennant was in it, I wouldn't give a second thought.

    I saw this trailer when watching Punisher, and on the big screen it impressed me, i might have some hope for this after all.

    I don't understand all the hate for this. Looks like it could be a fun movie to watch. Dragonball , and DBZ were never really cartoons that were so good that this should be so incessantly bashed. As long as the fight scenes kick ass, who cares? You already know the story.

    Besides, I have a feeling this could be like the first XMen, where the movie was ok, but set the stage for a great sequel. It's not like anything else that great is coming out. Kung Fu Hustle was a good movie, so I expect the same quality of movie from this, being as it has the same director.

    Ok.
    First, DBZ was the greatest cartoon in Latin America, because we had a consistent dub cast and we kept all the original japanese music.
    In the United States it was horrible, with all the americanized expression, the censor, and the awful pseudo-metal.
    So I wouldn't say it wasn't that great, it was, and way more,

    And it's being directed by John (Final Destination) Woo, Stephen Chow is only exec producer.

    Couldn't agree more.

    I see what you're saying about the cartoon, but not really sure how it relates to the movie.

    And it's John Wong, not Woo. Big difference. Namely the absence of doves. :lol

    Is anyone bother that Goku is played by a white actor, and Bulma is Asian and knows how to fight (She looks White in the show), Master Roshi is young, and the Dragonballs were created on Earth, The capsule "transforms" instead of growing from smoke?

    I haven't been more disappointed since Mortal Kombat.

    My expectations
    Dragonball Evo is to Dragonball as G Savior is to Gundam.

    The fan wankage on this seems a lot like the fan wankage we got with the first TF movie.

    Maybe I'll see it, maybe I won't.

    ..and IMO DB and DBZ was laughable even in the right language. This can only be better.. That's all I have to say.

    ....Ill be honest I grew up with Dragon ball , dragonball z. and I watched gt for a while before I disowned it.

    this thing is something I keep close to my heart, ALL MY Friends keep it to their hearts. the ONLY thing being as sacred is saint seiya.-ok gundam and macross are sacred to me too but not as much as dragon ball- (my first cosplay was goku......)

    Im giving this a chance out of my wait and see policy, I mean godzilla 1998 is a good monster movie....just not godzilla I just migth not call this dragon ball, I dont know.....something else I cant really think of a title

    Emmy Rossum ain't Asian, pal. And why can't a white actor play Goku?

    I'm not baiting. Just calling like I see and voicing my opinion. You can go off on me if you want as I don't poke my head into many threads twice around here too often unless I really need to. It's a free country (where I'm at anyway) so be my guest.

    While the "main character should be Asian" would make sense in just about any other Anime adapatation, I've been wondering....does it really hold up in the DB universe?

    I mean, this is a world where dinosaurs run wild, a green guy walks around in public and no one bats an eye...where there are humanoid animals...Hell, wasn't the king of the world a dog?

    Seriously, is there even an Asia or Japan in this universe?

    I, personally, am a die hard DB/DBZ fan. Never watched GT, though. Anyway, I am excited about the movie. My only qualm is with the title. They should have just left it "Dragonball."

    And now I can finally own the dragon balls when the toys come out!

    I've made my opinion on this movie. I like what I've seen. Until recently Japan has been very reluctant to do anything with DragonBall. And it's nice to see someone who isn't Toei or Toriyama having a shot at this franchise.

    No.

    DragonBall has places like "West City", and "Penguin Village", clearly pointing to Asia :rolleyes: 

    Doesn't even matter that Goku was only named Goku because a man who found him in the mountains named him that (that being Grandpa Gohan). Seriously, I never understood the "Goku should be Asian" arguement.

    And yeah, a dog is the president of the world in the DB universe.

    I thought Saint Seiya/Knights Of The Zodiac was the greastest cartoon ever in Latin America...

    Also, FUNimation has released DragonBall Z, and GT Uncut, with a consistant cast, with the original Japanese music. DragonBall has episodes 1-13, and movie 1 tangled up in legalities. The release of 13-153 had the original Japanese music as well as a consistant cast. Movies 2-4, movie 2 particularily doesn't have a consistant cast.


    I liked G-Saviour...
