A young boy named Goku (Justin Chatwin) sets out upon his grandfather’s dying request to find the great Master Roshi and gather all seven Dragon Balls (of which he has one) in order to prevent Piccolo from succeeding in his desire to use the Dragon Balls to take over the world. Based on the comic by Akira Toriyama.
This preview is junk. Just another example of hollywod bastardizing a perfectly good franchise by releasing a movie that has relatively little to do with the original subject matter. Sadly I’m offended by the treatment of this film and I’m not even a DBZ fan.
I am a die hard Dragonball fan and I have watched every episode from Dragonball to Dragonball GT. I was quite surprised when they casted Justin Chatwin as Goku. I mean he’s not even Asian. And as for Chow Yun-Fat, he’s everything Master Roshi is – he would play the dirty old man perfectly except he’s way too tall, Ng Man Tat would be the better choice even though he has never been in Hollywood movies. Still, I’m anticipating how this movie will go. Btw, the movie title is now called “Dragonball Evolution”.
Not a huge fan of Dragonball Z however I’d check this out. I’m a much bigger fan of darker Manga anime like Bastard and Berserk.
I’m a fan of Dragon Ball Video.
