A major disappoinement
Ok being a Dragonball fan myself I've been waiting for a live action movie for years, and now that it's finally here I wish they didn't bother, there are so many plot holes(the film is 70 minutes so it doesn't cover them or explain anything) has missing vital characters, the CGI energy attacks look more like a Gas rather than a solid (which they should be) the acting is below average all you have to do is watch the trailer to see this (See when Goku says 'Cool') the characters have no development through the entire film and are unbelievable, there are only 2 or 3 second moments that you could see in Dragonball but the rest of this film feels nothing like it.
Theres no reason HollyWood can make a sequel as this is so bad so will the rest. T'would have been better if it was just an animated movie, like the Anime. -

Better than you'd expect
Turn your brain right down to 1 before you watch this and you may just find that this is very enjoyable hokum. Absolute nonsense with no pretensions to being anything else. Ludicrous but well done fight scenes, dumb story that doesn't take a second of itself seriously and actors who are clearly having a grand time with the silliness of the whole thing. A perfectly acceptable way to while away an hour and a half or so.
