"You've got the touch!" Oh, wait, wrong movie. Rolling Eyes Shouldn't he be powering up in that photo? Or is this going to be one of those deals where he fights hand-to-hand combat, and doesn't learn the special attack until the end, thus saving the studio a few million in the process? Wink

At least it's starting to look good for cosplay.

It has to be mostly taijutsu. It's Dragonball. Not Dragonball Z. :P

The movie will be mostly hand to hand combat, but it's confirmed that at the end of the movie, Goku uses his Kamahemahe against King Piccilo.

Hate to say it, but Goku looks like he has a mohawk in that poster Shocked

The poster is bad. Like all the pictures I've seen before.

I can't picture Justin as Goku even in my wildest dreams. He's built like a 10-year-old and the hairdo is just plain weird. And I guess he's holding a dragonball in his hand but why the weird glow?

Hope the trailer looks better.

I dont really have problems with the hair, that would probably look really stupid if they had someone with longer hair and tried to copy the real hair. What I dont like is that he has like... no muscles. His arms are skinnier than mine! What are those idiots doing...

Well the poster is much better than the magazine pictures ANN posted a while back. I will give it that. Looks like they got the backgrounds about right though. I just hope they don't make the whole thing in the desert and remember that there should be funny looking forests, and funny looking cities scattered about.

Also I wonder what the hype in Japan is about this movie? I suspect that they are much more tolerant to any changes made than us US anime fans are. I am probably wrong on that though.

I love how people are ragging on Chatwin not being buff enough, despite the fact this is an adaptation of DragonBall, not Z. As well, the arch they are adapting, The Piccolo Daimao arch, Goku is no older than 16 (Most likely younger than that).

Granted, the lack of Krillin, is well, lacking. However, in the manga and anime Krillin was dead for most of that arch anyways.

I don't know about that, I've heard Japanese fans complaining all the time about stuff changed in the manga to anime transition.

Anyway, this poster looks so much better then the original photos. I'm slowly becoming more hopeful about this movie. That's not to say I won't see it anyway, no matter how bad it is. Very Happy
