Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

One of the worst movies ever made and a disgrace to the Dragon Ball z I just have nothing to say about it

As a child, I was always a fan of Dragon Ball franchise. I watched every episodes and movie. When I heard about this movie, I was excited that the film came out, but when I watched the video, I can describe it as awful. Almost everything from the movie sucks. The characters are all bunch of phonies that don't know to act. They all contradict the story. It changed Goku from a caring person who works hard all the time into a high schooler obsessed with girls and have no friends. The movie is not Dragon Ball. It is just a story with terrible graphics, low-quality plot, and very few characters. A waste of time and a disgrace to all Dragon Ball fans.

Nothing in this film makes sense and I cant believe that the people involved had the audacity to release it and charge people for it. The fact that this film exists proves that not anyone can make a movie. I am biased with this film as I am a true DragonBall Z fan. But I feel that majority of the people who paid to watch this film are fans of the anime. Everything about this film is garbage. From the acting to the story to the dialogue. If you want to know what NOT to do when making a film, just watch this. The people who worked on this film clearly had no respect for the fans or the amazing story on which it's based. If you are going to watch it, then please prepare yourself for what I feel is the worst movie ever made. Doesn't deserve a grade of 1.

Justin Chatwin stars as teenager Goku, who must use his special fighting skills to prevent the evil Lord Piccolo (James Marsters) from collecting all seven Dragonballs and using them for evil purposes. Goku is aided in his quest by master Roshi (Hong Kong action legend Chow Yun-Fat), school-friend and object of Goku's affection Chi Chi (Jamie Chung), gun-toting babe Bulma (Emmy Rossum), and thieving rascal Yamcha (Joon Park). As the group locate the dragonballs using Bulma's tracking device, they are attacked by Piccolo's sexy henchwoman Mai (Eriko Tamura).The plot for this live-action manga movie is all over the place, the acting is wooden and the special effects not so special, but I still managed to have some fun with the whole sorry mess, possibly because I had my expectations set extremely low after recently watching the lousy Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, partly down to the fact that I had no prior knowledge of the Dragonball graphic novels (and so wouldn't be disappointed by inaccuracies), but mostly because I was clearly in the mood for some mindless martial arts fantasy nonsense with several babes in cleavage enhancing costumes.And that's precisely what I got… lots of silly kung fu action aided by wire-work and CGI and three hotties with their bosoms making up for their poor performances. Can't say that it has forever changed the way I look at film, or that it will even stay with me until the week is out, but I wasn't bored by its banality, miffed by its mediocrity, or angry at its inanity, which must count for something.4.5 out of 10, rounded up to 5 for Chow Yun-Fat chewing up the scenery.
