This movie is gonna bomb. Goku can't be white. They are gonna use too much special effects.
mark
goku is white, just like in the anime. hell, piccolo's white, well green played by a white guy. its gonna be funny seeing all these people dress up for this
S
It could be good...
BiH
Justin is gonna have to put up a LOT of muscles for this one.
Yo
This is the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard. Goku is Japanese, even the name is Japanese. But they're casting a WHITE GUY? That's racist!
I'm sick of Asian guys not getting lead roles, even if the character is Asian. This is modern day yellow face.

Bout time, they can do it..... i think, as long as its better then the orignal live action dragonball movie ( that sucked)
CrUsH
This movie will be amazing. Chatwin is a great up and coming actor
J
Hey **** mennnnn!!! Even if this movie sucks i am gonna see it any way, i grew up with this shit. The only thing that sucks is the cast of the actors, that Chatwin guy doesn't deserve to play goku, my vacuum cleaner looks better in the role of goku than him. Well no more for now,
Good luck to us all...

I think that a little boy should be played as goku. and this film should
have a lot of effects. the back round of the movie should look like . the 300 movie but with brighter colers. and lots of eletrical phonom
im not trying to be the directer but it would be perfect for the movie.
come on acters getting into costums. picolo, friza, come on those are wierd characters. people dressing up in them would be redicculis

I hope for dragonball-z of 2010

dumb dumbs
what makes you think goku shud be asian. your tryna tell me that the entire sayain race were a bunch of asian looking dudes.?... just cut it out... goku ,, vegeta,,,raddits and even nappa of all people no way near look like asians. especially nappa. nappa clearly looked like a big ass giant goldberg. however goku was raised by an asian. chi chi is asian and i wud presum that maybe his son goku wud like both asian and american. krillin is definatly asian tho as is yamcha. think fellas. why wud alians look asian. especially an evil warrior race.
C
OMG. White people playing Japanese looking aliens with spiky hair and bulgy muscles...

I might just go there for the laughs.
jack
****ing idiots ruied this movie, firstly i dont care if the guy is white, i was hoping goku would b asian, but what can you do when asians are apparently the most ridiculed race there is, but this ****er doesnt come close to goku. secondly, they ruined dragonball because goku's love interest will be bulma, or so i've heard. so vegeta, trunks, gohan, and the whole lot have no future in this saga. thirdly, they want to make it more dramatic and realistic! no talking animals, no perverted master roshi, no crazy goku antics... THEY COMPLETELY ****ED UP THIS MOVIE!
chris
i've waited so long for this movie only to realize i should've commited suicide when i had the chance... thanks for ****ing up the movie
daniel
i cant blieve they made goku white, i was hoping they would cast someone like jackie chan: funny, athletic, a real martial artists, someone that the whole dragonball series was based on...... but its all good... ****ing assholes..................
NaTe
effing a man... effing a........ dissapointed
DrGnBall FAN
same here... who the hell do they think they are ruining the best cartoon ever? justin chatwin? ****ing justin ******* chatwin? some skinny white guy with gay hair and a dramatic background who looked serious in every interview about dragonball and doesnt know how to punch for shit? if they want to make a movie about something, they should at least know what they're making coz im ****ing pissed
D LsT BuddY
honestly, if they were gonna change the whole thing so much, they might as well have made there own signature movie...
Dragonball Z ch
wow dragon ball z has alot of racist cracker **** fans
DBZ = Asian
wow dragon ball z has alot of racist cracker cu nt fans

Even in DBZ, asian males get the roles of crap characters while the white guy saves and bangs asian girl (chi-chi). Unbelievable. Whoever sold them the rights to this movie should be shot. Let's make a movie about Spiderman and make him asian while MJ remains white.

As for why Goku should look asian? Dude, if u can't get that thru ur head then there's no help for ya. By your logic, we should make Superman Chinese since he has black hair. Goku is as Japanese as it gets until he transforms, and even when he does, there's a good FICTIONAL explanation for that. Anyone who has ever watched dbz knows goku is Japanese just as Superman is white. Stop trying to pick bones in yolk, u douche.
