Kinda similar what they do for "Hulk" and the "Incredible Hulk". i think they need to make a requel for this movie…like a different beginning.

The studio changed everything. They took a movie that could of been like Star Wars and The Matrix combined and totally screwed it up. I hope someone who actually has a say in movie rights and run it thru another studio! They could make a killing and the best part is they dont have to change the story line one bit, THE STORY IS ALREADY PERFECT PEOPLE WHO DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT THE STORY SHOULDNT CHANGE A PERFECT STORY TO SUIT THERE LAME IDEAS! Dragon Ball Deserves much better.... :x That was so disapointing! The studio changed everything. They took a movie that could of been like Star Wars and The Matrix combined and totally screwed it up.

The same amount of what you see in their TV programes, films or magazines are either Dr.Surgery or make-up artists' creations. Do you really think they were born with manga eyes? Be realistic. Whoever participated in this movie totally americanized it; partially the cast, the set, the background, the soundtrack (use J-rock, not the american way), and everything else. And as someone said before, Ray Park (Darth Maul, from Star Wars) would have been even better than James Marsters as Piccolo. Not only because he's an fast and skilled martial artist (exactly what we need for Piccolo) but he also looks fantastic with face make-up. Chatwin as Son-Goku ruined it all, his hair, etc... Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle) would've been a great choice as director. Or the directors from TFK, DB fans should really take a look at The Forbidden Kingdom movie (the set looked awesome, exactly what DBE needs) which is based on an old chinese saga that inspired Akira Toriyama to create the manga series Dragonball. The Monkey King, also known as Song Wu Kong in China was the key to Son-Goku (notice the similarity of those two characters?). I can imagine Jet Li as Vegeta, he's always good as the bad(ass) guy.

Based off my completely vague knowledge of the movie business, actors are usually not the people who decide what direction their character gets to go in; that job belongs to either the director, or writers (or both)! I'm going to assume that Chatwin was given this sorry excuse for a script, also at one point was approached by the director, and was basically told "this is what we want Goku to be". What's he supposed to do? He's not a seasoned actor who has the leverage to say "F*** you I'm not doing this to this character!". Think of it this way: its an employee-boss relationship, Chatwin's the employee, the director/producers are the boss. SO I can't really blame him for the changes made to Goku because more than likely, he wasn't the guy that came up with them. @Buddy: I agree with almost everything you said, but I just wanna point out to all those who keep saying “Chatwin was bad because Goku’s supposed to be this this nd this”.
