Movie Story
Based on the phenomenally popular Japanese manga created by Akira Toriyama, whose work spawned best selling graphic novels, video games and a phenomenally successful television series, "Dragonball" centers on the heroic Goku (Justin Chatwin), a powerful warrior who protects the earth from an endless stream of rogues bent on dominating the Universe and controlling the mystical objects from which the film takes its name.
Reader's Reviews

This movie looks terrible. piccolo looks like a vampire. dragon ball can never go live-action, they have a better chance making a live-action pokemon movie (not really), why couldn't they just make another animated movie to add to the already huge stack of DB movies, or maybe like a 3-D dragon ball movie like the video game graphics(but better), so much people are gonna watch this in the theaters and be disappointed, i'm just congratulating them for attempting to transform DB into live-action, its going to be hilarious to see this in the theaters (unless i watch it online first).

I was so excited that they were making a Dragonball movie but now... Now I'm a little concerned. Piccolo isn't green? Bulma's hair isn't blue? What are they trying to do?! They better not screw this up or I'm going to be royaly pissed!

This is a complete disgrace. This is purely aimed for those people who have never actually seen DBZ or its predecessor and are just after an ordinary action flick. This movie will completely destroy the complete DB saga and any meaning it ever had. Also....why the f*** is piccolo not green? They could've at least put more effort into maintaining as much accuracy as possible.

DBZ was the best cartoon and still is. some people are saying that the movie's going to be crap but no one has seen anything apart from a couple of still photos which reveal basically nothing. so, instead of bagging it before you've seen the trailer hav some faith that the movie will deliver...which it will.

It is so obvious the world doesn't want this flick about which only bad news came out to be made, and is going to boycott it even if it does come out, so why don't those guys sucking up to this cinematic crap just shut up and take a hike?

You guys are forgetting one of the lessons DB taught, never to judge on apperences alone?

Is there still people so stupid as to question why people everywhere's going to boycott?

I think the movies going to be great and that all u doubters need to chill and wait til u see it to talk about it.. This is not a easy movie to make so give them a brake.. Be happy that there finally making the movie and so for it looks great.. Some things had to be changed for the better..

Can't believe that Fox is actually wasting money on flamers to fake the optimism over this bomb when pretty much the whole world has just gone onto a global boycott
