When people say things like this, it really seems that people who have no idea what they're talking about are just jumping on the hate bandwagon.

I think Speedracer is a good analogy. Terrific film in my opinion, but didn't do well at the box office. I expect this movie to be entertaining, but fail at the box office.

Actually, Dragon Ball was a comic originally, but nice try.

It is no more "garbage" in relation to the source material than the film adaptation of Spider-man is "garbage" compared to its source material.

This is almost like Dragon Ball GT all over again.

No, it's not. GT was a commercial endeavor, animated based on an original story, unrelated to the source material (i.e. the comic). This is a commercial endeavor based on the original story of the comic, with many plot points condensed into a single story for the sake of fitting into a live action feature film.

Dragon Ball officially ended in Z. GT was just a product of the big companies that didn't want to make the DB series die due to all the money it made from products in the market.

No, Dragon Ball did not "officially end in Z"... Dragon Ball ended at the end of Dragon Ball. If you're talking about the anime, GT is as much canon to the anime as any other part of the anime. As far as the comic is concerned however, there is no such thing as Dragon Ball Z-- it was all "Dragon Ball".

Akira Toriyama didn't want to do GT so he left the project.

Wrong. He was involved with the project in the same way he was involved in the offshoot Dragon Ball Z movies they produced. It was not based on his comic, but he was involved in character design and story writing.

Here we are seeing it again in a live action movie, UGH! I refuse to go see this movie and yes Chow Yun Fat should be ashamed of himself for starring in it.

Again, Dragon Ball GT was an original story created for the anime to keep going. This is a live action adaptation of the comic canon.

What didn't you like about it? The fighting? The energy attacks? The silliness of it?

Because all of those things are pretty much entirely right for a live action adaptation of Dragon Ball. There are some changes to aspects, but did Joker killing Thomas and Martha Wayne make 1989's Batman suck? Did the Batmobile being a tank make Batman Begins suck? Did the Joker wearing makeup in The Dark Knight make it suck?

Anyone who is unwilling to give this a chance to be entertaining is just creating a self fulfilling prophecy. This is a cheesy action movie based on a cheesy manga/anime. It will be just as entertaining as any cheesy action flick ever.

Another problem is that a lot of people have incorrect memories of what Dragon Ball or DBZ is. I suggest anyone complaining about how stupid this might look should go check out the source material, because the tone and such seem to be dead on. There are changes to the canon, of course, but this is true of ALL film adaptations, whether they be based on comics, books, games, etc. I honestly cannot think of a single film adaptation which is 100% accurate to the source material.

What did you expect him to look like? He's bald and green. He's not going to win any beauty pageants no matter how they make him look.
