    this movie is horrible. I could have sworn that the dragon balls were created by kami not seven people. and piccolo looks stupid. and why the hell is master roshi so young he’s not even bald. and when in any part of dragon ball was bulma a bad ass. she doesn’t even have blue hair. the fighting could be way better and so can the story line. I hope the don’t release this movie it give It back to the original creator of dragon ball z to give the fans what they’ve always dreamed off. this movie completely destroys what dragon ball z really is. two thumbs down.

    jesus this movie looks fucking terrible on so many levels.
    “Oh we’ll just make up our own story and put some characters in there…. krillin? no fuck krillin.”
    this movie can only be 15% accurate at the most and im being nice here.
    “Oh its ok well just put in some cool fight scenes and cool computer technology, nobody would expect that!”

    im gonna make this entire series after this blows over and im gonna do it right.
    theyve tried making one before and that sucked too.
    just wait a little while ill give you people something SO MUCH better.
    youll swear your actually watching the real full scale story eventually with no weird plot holes or stupid bullshit you gotta sit through.

    if anybodys thinking this movies gonna be accurate to the real story in any way shape or form youre fooling yourselves.
    this isnt dragonball, its dragonball E. totally different story all together, just with the same name.
    Much like how Chinese Democracys supposed to be “Guns N’ Roses” but we all know…..
    only difference is axl did a good job.

    r u guys serious this sucks, i mean have u guys actually seen the trailer. nothing abt it is remotely like dragonball… i mean goku’s personality, master roshi’s personality… its like completely new characters. this ain’t another kung fu movie. i mean when u think abt db… explosions n earth shattering punches n mushroom clouds come to mind not this weak s#@t. i mean goku wudn’t dare having a fight with mere mortals let alone high schoolers n y the heck is goku in high school anyway. goku’s supposed 2 b a fun loving, dim witted, fearless happy go lucky guy not a scrawny, skinny wimp like Chatwin ruin my favorite character and story. No more high school or other realsim with the Ryan Seacrest hair style that Chatwin has in the movie. That’s not what Dragon Ball was meant to be. Think about the fans when you make something like this and not just their money. I will not be watching this movie in theaters or on BD/DVD/UMD and if you make a sequel in the same way that this movie is being carried out, I will boycott that as well.This movie represents everything BUT what Akira Toriyama meant when he created dragon ball.o Krillin, no Tien, doesn’t follow original storyline, crappy made up characters,etc, etc. The list of problems with this film is endless.Think about the fans when you make something like this and not just their money. I will not be watching this movie in theaters or on BD/DVD/UMD. i hope this movie never gets released it sullies the name of dragonball. but if they do release it, which they probably will, they shud at least have the common courtesy to change the title of the movie coz that abt the only thing abt the movie thats dragonball. this wudn’t really hurt ur target market coz most db fans won’t even recognise it as a db movie. n hopefully there will enough disappointed fans out there that fox loses millions when they release this movie as punishment for insulting the name of dragonball

    This song (rule) is composed and arranged by the same people that a great rock song she released in 2005 (Is This Love?) I supose that the piece will be as well.
    It would have revealed the words of the refrain:

    Dareka or kimerareta RUURU
    blew my hitsuyounai dates
    kono bokura ga RUURU
    sokontoko yuzurenai

    okimari no tsumannai RUURU
    oshitsukeraretaku nai
    Mazu wa Kimi to Boku to RUURU
    bukkowashite hajimeyou.

    (The rules that someone else has decided
    are unnecessary
    These are our rules
    and we can not capitulate nowhere.

    I do not want me to put pressure
    so I follow the same rules futile
    Because above all, they are yours and mine
    Demolishing them.)

    This is “Dragon Ball E” universe #4 not universe #2 or universe #1! The universe #2 movie all the upset people want is out already. It’s got Vegita’s brother in it. Why don’t all you universe #2 people go make your own site to talk about your movie? Leave the universe #4 people alone… :mrgreen:

    CJthong …
    Ayumi Hamasaki is NOT a no name chick. She’s like the Madonna of Japan (popularity wise)…everyone in Japan, and even most of Asia, knows who she is. I am very happy she was chosen to the the theme song~ :D
