It may have been the granola bar I ate a few minutes ago, but I almost vomitted when I watched that trailer.

Roshi in this movie is not a bearded old man trying to grope women 1/3 his age.

This fact ALONE means that this movie will fail to amuse me.

Wheres the dinosaurs? Wheres the talking animals?

It's not really dragon ball until Roshi grabs for boobs, and it's not really Dragon Ball Z until a mountain in the distance explodes. This is not anything related to Dragon Ball.

You missed the part in the trailer where a entire city blows up?

Cities blow up in everything these days. But distant mountains do not. That is a DBZ signiture.

To be fair, it's mountains, islands, and more random open space void of fauna or any other macroscopic living organism than there is surface area on the planet.

Not true! Theres plenty of scenes where animals run away from the battlefields prior to combat! Clearly they are smarter than the humans. And furries.

Worst. Movie. Ever. Til they make the Cowboy Bebop Live-Action movie... and the Naruto Live-Action movie. Then it will be like, third-worst.

I would've said Speed Racer as my pick for worst, but I didn't even like Speed Racer to begin with, so no disappointment there.

This, however, because of all the reasons mentioned and more, has every bit of potential to suck. SMcBP hit it right on the head when he mentioned Goku becoming emo.... if I were in a film like this, I wouldn't be ready for the suckfest either.

Agreed. I mean, that was the greatest part of Master Roshi. Now they turn him into Mr. Miyagi.

Not there is anything wrong with Mr. Miyagi, but if I wanted Mr. Miyagi I turn on The Karate Kid.

Personally I think Castlevania is the only option that could even be close to working out. But they already did Van Helsing in an unremarkable manner so I'd rather not see this attempted.

As far as Dragonball? It looks like the people who made this learned film by watching ONLY Sci-Fi original movies (like Frankenfish and the like) and then 10 seconds of Tony Jaa. They then wrote a script after lazily listening to a bunch of fanboys at a convention and reading a plot synopsis of the back of one of the DVDs with one picture of Goku as a Super Saiyan where they though "Well we can't get the size, but we can make the shape work for the hair." From there they spent the rest of the budget on hair gel.

I just hope we don't get an Uwe Bole of anime out of this. THAT would suck worse then the movie.

EDIT:
And by the way this would be a more accurate movie in my opinion.

I wish I could give it a chance but it's just sad... I'm not going to see it not just because I'm cheap but because it'll be like throwing 9 dollars out the window. Still the special effects weren't to bad. And I like what they did with the capsules. Oh and Castlevania can be done very well since it won't take to much effort to get right.
