    I believe that is the title of the upcoming DB film. Are you all going to see it? It looks really lame. Its not even Asian people and the guy who plays Goku does not fit him at all and j=his hair is hardly spiked. Eew.

    Hehe I saw this commercial and immediately thought "cute."
    Even though I hate Dragonball, I'd watch it for a good few laughs and giggles.

    And that fire trick and the locker-opening thingy was pretty cool.

    I think Id be too embarrassed to actually go buy a ticket. It looks kinda cheesy like that Speed Racer movie last year.

    Why would they be asian? The film is made by westerners for westerners. And fyi, some of the cast are Asian.

    However it does look shocknigly bad.

    Apparently, it's the DB universe but set in present time, which kind of distorts the already futuristic theme the series initially promotes. But I agree with the majority, the movie looks like another awful port of an old series being brought to the big screen. I also heard Piccolo won't be green, which is just wrong.

    It's not going to live up to the legend the anime was, but I'm going to watch it anyway. Mainly for the sake of nostalgia, but also for the lulz.

    So even though it is a Western film, intended for a Western audience and Western culture, you're upset because it won't be "all that" to a minority?

    jesus mate, theres westerners in Japan, do you think they have Americans playing lead roles in 'big' Japanese films? Even if the idea started in the west, they'd still have Japanese actors, just like an American Dragonball adaptation would logically have Americans taking the lead.

    Saying that, there's nothing to say Goku isn't meant to represent a westerner in the first place, or that the main characters are 'asian'.

    Because the show was based in Japan, not only made there. It just irritates me when in America remakes are always that way. Besides, American and Dragon legends just doesn't match quite well. Have you seen Dragon Wars? Eew. Maybe its something that just annoys me.

    I'm even willing to say that the movie won't bring anything nostalgic back into our minds.

    I also heard Piccolo won't be green, which is just wrong.
    What?! That's messed up beyong freaky.

    Dragonball/dbz didn't take place in Japan, it took place in a fictional version of Earth (and other planets)

    I also don't see how a monkeyman from space can be classed as an Asian.

    And Dragonball has next to nothing to do with dragons, they're only there when a wish is made. Considering Dragon Wars drew more on the idea(s) of popular British folklore of dragons (and dinosaurs) and not the less conventional chinese/japanese ideas of dragons I'm gonna have to avoid your point.

    I've played the game on PSP and I have to say it's okay it's just like the shin budokai series but it doesn't have cartoon graphics.
