This is going to be such a disaster! White guy to play an asian guy, gotta love the eyeliner they put on him....I guess to give a bit more of an asian look. How unfortunate. Feel sorry for all the dragonball fans

LAME!

who ever said goku is asian, mhm... I thought he was an Alien, so what does it matter if he is a White guy.


Posted by: firelord on December 11, 2008 at 10:38:45

anime sucks anyway...it'll blow even worse with real people.

it's not going to be that bad...Thnk about Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle...Steven Chow movie's always look kind of cheesy, but are always really entertaining to watch..and the cartoon and all of it's really weak plots and cheesy story lines was also cheesy...If anything it's going to be just like the cartoon...Highly overdramatic kick ass mock crouching tiger stuf..better directed by him than by Ang Lee .. Ang Lee did it there would be some unnecessary back story and Goku fighting an invisible version of his father and two giant dogs...

only thing im really not diggin enough to complain about is the lack of krillin and instead brand new characters no one has ever heard of like mai? with such a large cast of characters what was the point of that? plus Krillin was goku's best friend all through his childhood and they just remove him?


Posted by: spikestampede on December 11, 2008 at 10:54:06

and yeah stop yellin bout him not being Asian. Sayians were aliens from space not from any country in asia.


Posted by: tedmcginley on December 11, 2008 at 10:54:18

Not that I give two sheets anyway, but if he's not supposed to be Asian, why are the other 3 chicks in the poster Asian.

Seems like racism or sexism or both...okay to have female Asians but not male?

But anyway, could care less, this movie is starting to look stupid and dumb.

I have to admit, this movie still hasn't caught me but I am really impressed/glad that they seem to have realized their mistakes and turned out a MUCH better trailer, Piccolo's finally green!

*Of course that being said, it still might suck since the fight scenes (As is usually the case with Western wirework)look corny as hell. Gotta admit though, that "Kahmehameha!" at the end was the first thing about this damn movie to get me smiling...

Justin Chatwin doesn't look like Goku! He's alright for a younger version, but what if they decide to make a sequel. If they keep Goku young it's fine I guess, but if they plan on doing Z, they need someone older, and honestly, a little bigger. Also, he didn't look American in the anime. It's Anime, they look Anime. It wouldn't matter if they got an Asian guy or a white guy. My major problem is that they changed it from being an action/adventure anime (the original, finding the dragonballs) to an action/highschool movie.

@ tedmcginley

Emmy Rossum/Bulma isn't asian...so that only leaves two. However it could be argued that if Goku's white it would have screwed with Hollywood predetermined stereotypes to have him fall for someone of another race...ah well...


Posted by: GOKU IS NOT ASIAN!!!!!! on December 11, 2008 at 11:08:27

Mai is not a made up character she work for emperor pilaf in the cartoon. but anyways the Tick hit it right on the head everyone is complaining about not being true. and whit guys playing asian. it was made by asians Goku ia an alien and most of the characters are creatures so they arent even really asian. and the movie would be stupid if they had a talking dog as mayor a talking shape shifting pig and cat...I mean come on seriously!!!! i thinks its gonna be a good adaption and cool movie to watch. may not be whateveryone wants but it will be decent. U guys that want everything the same are IDIOTS.


Posted by: abod on December 11, 2008 at 11:12:44

by the way guys goku is not asian in the anime hes an alien remember ??? O_o
so making him the only non-asian-looking guy in the movie is correct !!


Posted by: Fanboiii on December 11, 2008 at 11:13:38

Don't you fools get tired of whining about the same things? Don't cry over spilt milk.

Just don't watch it if you don't like all the changes.


Posted by: surge2477 on December 11, 2008 at 11:17:12

Goku is an alien, he'snot from asia. why do one assume that he is asian? because it's an anime.


Posted by: RAMI on December 11, 2008 at 11:30:18

good luck !!!!!


Posted by: jo on December 11, 2008 at 11:30:25

This is a reck, I mean they ruined the anime I watched as a kid. That guy looks so stupid and they just put three other girls on the poster to what, make the film look more sexier?! good grief. Not gonna even try to watch this.


Posted by: GOKU IS SAYIAN NOT ASIAN!!!!!! on December 11, 2008 at 11:44:40

I agree with abod, Fanboi, and surge2477.
if u dont like it dont watch it. Goku is an alien not asian so quit whining and either watch the damn movie or dont.


Posted by: QuitDogginIt on December 11, 2008 at 11:50:02

I was a fan of Dragonball, DBZ and GT and I'm really looking forward to this flick. Characters don't look exactly the same? Different storyline? Not realistic? That's the point guys! It's F A N T A S Y ! All the dragonball series were completely unrealistic but fun to watch. If an actor with great movies under his belt like Chow Yun Fat decided to give it a try why can't people just wait for this to come out and then judge it?
