I just finished watching the movie. It came out earlier here in Asia, and I’ve got to say, people who watched the movie or read the manga, I warn you, you will absolutely HATE and DETEST the movie. I mean, the story is just based upon Dragonball, but it won’t follow any plot from it. But, for those who haven’t read the manga or seen the show, it’ll be quite enjoyabl, but don’t take my word for it. Lovers, just prepare to be dissapointed. Especially since they COMPLETELY leave out Krillin

But seriously, all of those who are super excited, that’s just awesome, I’m glad you will find the movie great. But, I will say that the movie is really, and I mean, UTTERLY based on Dragonball, but it doesn’t mean it is Dragonball. I mean, for example, the guys name IS Goku, but it doesn’t mean that he IS Goku from the series. Like SaurahbBenjamin said <>, Goku ISN’T Goku at all… And then the whole direction of the movie just sucked. There were ALL these random encounters, from Piccolo’s minions, to the first encounter of Yamcha, to the final battle with Piccolo ! As a movie fan, you will not at 100% connect with any scene in this movie (except for the scene where certain people die ). I have to admit, however, that the CGI and action scenes weren’t half bad. Pretty cool to see what attempt the director had to produce ki waves in live action form. Some were like, AWESOME, but some ki waves (like the Kamehame wave) just felt really lazily worked on…

(Spoiler now)
On a finishing note, I have to say that Goku DOES sorta apply the Dragon Fist on Piccolo, but Piccolo lives in the end, meaning there WILL BE A SEQUEL people. To my dismay, I don’t want it to be shown. Iy’s going to confuse people about the DB universe.

yeah why all the hate with this film? c’mon can’t you see this is a masterpiece in the making?!?!

i mean you got a skinny ass white kid as gokou just like in the anime, a piccolo dressed as nosferatu and master roshi not looking anywhere near master roshi

this movie is gonna be awesome!!! michael bay would definitely shit in his pats watching this,both he and steven spielberg. and mickey rourke and the guy from slumdog millionaire would’ve wish they should have been cast as gokou instead

..why does Goku’s character have ‘attitude’ in the movie…his character is supposed to be dumb and naive and inquisitive, ready for action, compassionate, sweet…willing to die for loved ones…but now he is portrayed as a know-how stud in the movie…murdered the Goku character. I ask what good is an adaptation if it isn’t close to the manga or cartoons …appearance of Goku’s character is all okay..but his comic feel isn’t there..its missing the original Goku feel….i feel like crying…
