A Dragonball movie is one of those things where the concept of the movie seems good, but when you actually play it out, it's doesn't turn out as awesome as you though it would be. I just recently heard about it, but looking at the trailer for it, it doesn't seem all that great. I'm still gonna go see it though xD

In the Anime, Master Yoshi looks "white"
but in the Movie, hes asian right?
this is the same case for Goku, but vice-versa

Yes, but that guy is funny and awesome.
Guess what, the whole Dragonball movie was a piece of crap for anyone who grew up liking DBZ (one of the few animes I've ever liked). I haven't even watched it, and frankly, I'll just pretend it never existed. You should do the same.

Saw this the other day. It's not just a bad adaption of the series, it's a very bad film.
Admittedly, it was kind of interesting at first, but it got worse as the film progressed. By the end of it I was facepalming.

Oh sorry I didn't realise Asia was part of Planet Vegeta, silly me.
The only characters who are supposed to be "asian" are Tien shinhan (shaolin monk) Chaitzou (same as tien) Krillin (again, monk) Tao Pai Pai and Grandpa Gohan.
Goku, Vegeta, Radditz etc are sayajins, so they cant be classed as human, never mind asian, then there's the fact Nappa clearly resembles a europeon, Goku, Radditz and Vegeta are all closer to white too.
ChiChi, Ox King, Roshi, Yamcha, Launch, Bulma, Mai, General Blue, commander Red etc are all meant to be white.
I don't see how having a white Goku is wrong in the slightest considering he isnt even an asian to begin with.

I saw Dragon Ball Evolution with my bestfriend, Daniel, and his girlfriend, Emma.
For the start of the movie I wasn't paying much attention, cause I was talking to Emma.
When I started getting into the movie more I realised how terrible it was.
I was hoping for Super Saiyan, but Goku had to go ahead and be a bad word.
Kamehameha sucked and Piccolo looked... strange.
All in all, they butchered the anime and I hated the whole thing.

Hollywood.com rates it: Half a star out of four stars.
With that rating, I will be avoiding this movie like a plague. Kind of figured it would end up being a load of crap, though.

Look you clearly ain't that big a Dragon Ball fan if you don't find it a problem, 90% of Dragon Ball fans grew up knowing DB/DBZ was made in Asia and just naturally expected Goku to look Asian, there is nothing necessarily wrong with him not been but the fact it when you have grown up with something and you just naturally assume something it's hard, if not impossible, to except anything else, of course it wouldn't have mattered if Goku was Asia, White, Black or Purple it wouldn't have saved this movie, well maybe the Purple one...

LOL
I like the way you made a huge asumption about me with no real backing. So what if DB was made in japan, why would that mean Goku is japanese?
You're all clearly weeabos if you are finding it such a problem. His skin tone is clearly white.
I mean, if he was played by an Asian, I wouldn't care, at all, I don't understand why you're all angsting over a white person playing a white character.
oh I see it now, he clearly is asian, clear resemblance, how stupid of me not to notice this in a program I watched from like the age of 7 to 12. Silly me.

Hmmm? I always thought that Chi-Chi was Asian. She always looked and dressed like one.
Anyways, yes, Goku is not Japanese. He was a alien-being from the planet Namek. He is just transported to Earth when he was an infant.
To be honest, he's more like Superman. o_O

I saw it the other week.
I went in thinking that it was going to be a epic, fall on it's face, fail.
However, it wasn't as bad as I thought. It wasn't amazing by any means, but it was average .
I would give it a 4/10
