Quote from Zacharias
First I'd like to say something against the people who keep crying about the actors: "Who Else?"
Just face it you won't find a suitable actor for goku (vegeta,...) in this world.
All you can do is face this movie with an open mind. (More like temporarily forget the appearence of any dragonball character).
Although that one pic somebody posted of mr. Satan is the exception
I just hope they'll give the movie a serious undertone. I think that if the movie goes to much to the (happy~) action side; it'll soon turn out to be the laughingstock we all fear it to be.
I think the movie can only be good if some serious adaptations to the characters/story is done. Offcourse if you're looking for a good movie instead of an exact live-action version of db(z).
First I'd get rid of the standing-up/stiff hair & I'd minimize glowing effects. You can replace it's effect by perhaps adding a mini 'turbojet-like' sound to any powerups or something like that.
Secondly I'd put in a little drama and give the movie a serious undertone; something close to horror. (Instead of the green been that pilaf is perhaps some greenish golem character).
Well I'm just thinking out loud here. I'm also remebering 'Resident Evil: Extinct' [the movie] in whitch I was very pleased with the fact that even though the 'chick' had superpowers ~ they didn't realy overuse it...
Ugh well anyway the director's got a though job

That's not America's way. America has a reputation of butchering classics like Dragon Ball because they think being open-minded is a good thing (which it is, but obviously they go too far). They change the plot, refuse to use anybody but white or black actors as the lead, and simply do a horrible job imitating the wrong parts of the things the original considers "golden".
EDIT: Well, I don't necessarily have a problem with these kinds of things, it's just that if you're going to do it, do it right!
