Some of the DBZ cast

Honestly, I think I would have a hard time buying Goku as a lovable loser if he started the movie being built like a tank.

Since when has goku ever been a lovable loser? He's always been a pure hearted ass kicking winner in life and every other pursuit. Highschool melodrama doesn't suit the character at all.
 
Unless 3 of the 7 Dragonballs are in the basement of Goku's high school, don't expect more than 15 minutes of the movie to be "high school melodrama." This is a movie about training and searching for the Dragon Balls from everything we've heard so far, so I don't know why people are so worried that high school will be the backdrop of the movie, when it clearly won't be.

Anway, Goku has to start off somewhat low if the audience is going to get attached to him. If he starts off as a built kicker of butts who has no self doubt or personal problems whatsoever, the audience won't have enough reason to want to see him get stronger and succeed.
 
I agree... 15 minutes of High School i`ll bet..Plus everyone will be able to relate to Goku better since we all have been or going to high school
 
Why is there always the need to make a character more relatable? Goku isn't like everybody else, so why turn him into another Hollywood clishe? Isn't it enough to have Grandpa Gohan, the person closest to him, get killed and suffer a devastating defeat on his first encounter with Piccolo, to be able to relate to him, to know how he feels?

I agree. Everyone over the age of 12 knows what it feels like to be knocked on your tail and have to get back up again, literally or proverbially. That which doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger; one of the most prevalent plot elements in the entire Dragon Ball/Z series.
 
I wonder if the cast is watching DB,DBZ and DBGT to study their characters

I know, Transformers only had like five minutes of it, so people should say it'll be based on a high-school kid wanting to be with a girl...it'll be about an alien wanting to destroy Earth, lol.
 
i wonder if goku will wear his gi to school. lol. that's seriously what goku would do.
 
Judging from set pics, NO. Although his clothing colors are reminiscent to those of his classic gi. I will be disappointed if he's not wearing an orange gi at some point in the movie though.

Something else I wonder, will they cover the 22nd Tenka'ichi Budokai, also? That's right when Piccolo Daimao made his first appearance, and features a great deal of character development between the supporting characters.
 
Chow Yun-Fat as Kame-senin is awesome.

So where's the Dragon Ball forum, SHH? The Spirit and Justice League have a forum, but not Dragon Ball? Common now...:nono:

I don't think anyone at SSH takes this film all that seriouslyand based on its source material, I wouldn't.
 
Can someone post side by side comparisons of who is playing who.
Like a picture of the guy playing Goku next to a pic of Goku and so on, of each person cast so far?

Or maybe a list like this
actor - Goku
actor - Piccolo
and so on
