Dragon Ball :) The plot kind of jumped around a bit, and the back-stories to Piccolo and Goku were somewhere between confusing and incomprehensible, but for what I hope was just the first installment of more movies, it wasn't bad. It kept all the fun and charm that I associate with Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. And underneath all the make-up and voice manipulation, I could still tell that it was James Marsters as Piccolo, so that made me happy. The rest of the cast were great too. Goku was very amusing, and I'm glad that Yamcha was in it. I always felt he was an underrated character in the cartoons.

Im very iffy about seeing this. Ive been a dragon ball fan for a very long time, and im scared that this movie may ruin it for me.

It's definitely a departure from the series, but I think the essence of it is the same. Roshi isn't a creepy little bald man, for instance, but he's still a dirty perve who wears Hawaiian shirts :P That was the most reassuring part of it for me, and the fact that Bulma's last name is still Briefs lol.

I went in with the attitude that it's its own movie, and nothing could be as good as Dragon Ball Z was to me (Dragon Ball was never my favourite), so I just enjoyed it for what it was: a quirky little film about aliens, super-powers, and the impending apocalypse. Same old same old :P

I'm really hoping that there will be a sequel starring Vegeta :wub:

^I'm iffy about seeing it too. I hate that they cast Justin Chatwin as Goku. I love that Bulma's last name is still Briefs though. That made me laugh when you mentioned that :lol: May have to go see it...

Well, I'd recommend it :) There's not much of a story, but I think the performances of Goku and Bulma are worth the price of admission ^_^
