All I gotta say is cartoons along with games that are made into movies are suck, mostly because of the fact that they are made by the White man trying to make an extra buck off a famous licensed product. There are a couple exceptions here and there, like transformers, and the X-men series but does that mean we're taking a turn in the quality of these type of remakes?.....not on christs life.
So instead of ripping on the subject, I thought id thought Id show the actors, and who they are portraying to see if they at least did a half decent job.
CAST:
Goku
First off the man himself Goku played by Justin chatwin. Well I should actually say kid Goku, because you have to remember this is DragonBall we're talking about here...
First complaints is using the Caucasians. We all know I hate white skin, but this is a Japanese product here, and I just assumed while watching that they were all Japs. Boo to that.
If you're thinking that actor looks familiar, its cause he was the son in War of the Worlds. All I remember from his role in that was, how the hell did he get all the way to his mom's house in boston so fast. Especially after he got essploded. Apparently he also stared in Superbabies:2 which went straight to Dvd, so goodluck with one of the most respected and well known characters in anime history. What a fail.
Lord Piccolo
Now, apart of the first one, I think they Actually did well this time around. James Marsters, otherwise known as badass dude in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series will take the role of piccolo. He also was in smallville, has a band, and just straight up looks the part.
The difference here is we at least know the dude has history in beating people up, and reminds me of Billy idol. Well done.
Masta Roshi
Fuck yeah. Chow freakin Yun fat. If you don't know who this chikidy chinese warrior is, then stab yourself in the chest elliot smith style, cause this guy is a fighting legend. The image below of him isn't even from the movie, so we already know that he fits the part in everyway.
Dude is more well known for in North America for Crouching tiger, bulletproof monk, and even Pirates of the caribean 3, but apparently has made like a thousand movies in asia. What a hero.
Bulma
Well, I don't know too much about bulma, besides knowing that she invented the thing that locates the dragonballz, but what I do know is that it was extremely difficult finding a picture of her not naked on google. She will be played by the sexay Emma Rossum who was in Day after Tomorrow and some other crap, but nobody cares cause all girls have to do in action movies is be hot.
Theres some other people, but they dont matter enough for me to make opinions on them.
So Besides boy goku the actor front isn't entirely bad, but I still don't understand how theyre going to make 10 minute zoomed in face twitching action interrupting soliloquys translate to film.
We'll have to wait and see.
