I have seen a few Dragon ball. But don't consider myself a fan. I sat down a little bit sceptical of a movie based on a cult show. Often animation to cinema isn't easy. I personally enjoyed the movie. I found it fun, silly, with some cool Kung Fu moves. I really do like Chow Yun ...( read more)

So I was told this was a TV show,never seen it myself. I do however have a sall thing for these "mythical" Kunf Fu inspired movies so I had to give it a try. Ths is definetly a kids movie, but still kinda cute. There's the hero, the good friend and the love interest. A little lam...( read more)

I can't believe that it was only a few weeks ago when I was watching the new Street Fighter movie and thinking that I would never again see another game or anime property ruined so horribly on film. I should have been saving my ire for this piece of fail. Everything about Dragon ...( read more)

November 6, 2009If you are going to bring dragonball to the big screen.Take your time with the storyline please!!!This should have been a lord of the rings meets crouching tiger type feel and with the amount of information that dbz brings with it the movie should reach 2.5 to 3 hours easy. They ruined everything about dbz that made it dbz!!! Where was krillin? Gokus tail? He was a child when his grandpa died! This was horrible! The effects 2nd grade! The fighting cheesy! If you are a dbz fan you will get lost quicker than somebody who has no clue about the magna!! It should have never been made! Or at least let somebody with some talent in writing the storyline handle it! This movie shouldn't have been giving to an ametuer!

September 12, 2009I knew it would be a flop.Making a live action Dragon Ball movie is absolutely impossible.I like the cartoons way better.

August 13, 2009What a disaster. I love the Dragonball anime, and this movie has almost no resemblance to the anime. At all. Once again, Hollywood has gone above and beyond to ruin anything that comes from a anime, video game, or comic.
I'm putting this one right next to Wolverine as one of my biggest letdowns. -
