Imagination?  You got me all wrong.Anime and Videogames are all I've done since birth.I went from the crude antics of Dr. Slump straight into Dragonball.I was insulted when they brought Dragonball from the Famicon to the NES and named it Dragonpower.(They cut off goku's hair),I even have a bunch of different sized Dragonball Pogs and a Gold Piccolo slammer (Damn 90's),you sure as hell got to have imagination to be entertained by that crap.Also as I've said before I'm just messing around.Come on,Dragonball was all about comedy,it ain't Z yet. This movie couldn't be complete without a full trip to find all 7 balls,I'm dying to see how they made Shenlong.
I really don't expect much of Hollywood either,unless they've watched all 508 episodes(collection) and all 19 movies.It looks like they merely glanced at a cheepy bootlegged pencilboard and went with it.The way Justin is dressed proves they didn't cater to the hardcore.

My one criticism of that picture is he's not grimacing fiercely enough. C'mon, Goku, you're charging up a fireball and you look like you're reading a grocery list!

Uh no. The reason they had those outfits was because that's their outfits in Ultimate X-Men.
Really, I'm sick of this old "you can't judge it til it comes out!!!" BS. It doesn't take a genius to tell that the movie is going in the completely wrong direction. The articles and interviews posted online, and all of the other pictures posted, including that one "grainy photo," all of it speaks volumes about how the film is going to be. Don't insult my intelligence by saying I can't spot a bad movie in the making when I see one, and then tell me to shut up about it. And don't be surprised to find out this film is going to be an embarassment to Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball fans. |

Then please tell me what the "right direction" is and exactly how this movie should be made. Nobody told you to "shut up" either so please spare me your "my stupid opinions can't be silenced FIRST AMENDMENT" theatrics. You're insulting my intelligence by suggesting that you have some enlightened wisdom that enables you to look at one black and white photo of a publicity still and proclaim that the entire film will be trash. It's reactionary "look at me I said it sucks first!" posturing and it's tiresome, redundant and doesn't show any sign that you're willing to just see how it goes before making some kind of white-noise "judgment call" on a movie you haven't seen a single frame of moving footage from. I'm not insulting your intelligence, I'm insulting your ability to be remotely reasonable about something as trivial as a live-action movie based on a cartoon aimed at children. |

Personally I love all the flak it's getting; it'll make me that much more pleasantly surprised when I go see it.
Nothing like low-expectations to make movies more watchable. |

Wow, if this is really how a Dragonball/DragonballZ fan sounds like, I want nothing to do with this show. Nothing at all. Seriously...this is really sad

I've noticed the majority of the posters seem to agree with you. For the most part, so do I. I'm not going to see this movie unless it gets stunning reviews. Zac, you obviously know how emotional people will get about this topic. Just continue to enjoy the "whining" (as you say), or consider not allowing Talkbacks on this topic if it gets too ugly for your tastes. |

And the saddest thing is - they couldn't even get the hair right. Also, Chatwin is miscast.

If you haven't noticed, Goku's original hair is a joke. Can you imagine how long it would take to style every morning? And how long it'd take to wash? It's totally outdated and kind of awful. They modernized it by giving Chatwin the signature big hair, but making it manageable, and also something that someone today would actually wear. |

Ironically, he was cast BECAUSE of his hair. |
