You live in U.S.A, that means you have only watched 70 minutes of it, and in your computer, the experience of effects and sound, music, etc is missing, and 18 minutes of movie is mising too, is true that maybe even complete and in cinema this movie is no masterpiece, but all that have watched the bootleg version could not have a objective review.
Oh man your not one of those dbe fans are you lol.18 more minutes of bad acting,generic effects and terrible plot aren't going to make this movie any better would actually be worse more crap you have to sit through and better quality isn't gonna mean a damn thing you can polish a turd its still going to be turd just more shiny.
I said
is true that maybe even complete and in cinema this movie is no masterpiece
The movie strenght are the music and the efects, IMO, in Cinema those are amplified and the experience to watch the movie feel a little better, yet if the movie is so terrible even that wont help
The movie weakness, from the bootleg of 70 minutes that i have watched, is the poor script, and the short time, bad editing
I am just saying, is not objective to make reviews from a bootleg version that lack 18 minutes of movie.
yeah but i knew about the bad editing and the fact that its bootleged, so i ignored those factors, i was trying to be completely objective my expectations were low but hopeful and all my expectations were squashed, but to be fair its mostly because they screwed up the actual story im blinded by that fact so its hard for me to see how good it is as someone that isnt familiar with the dragon ball series

On the matter of faithfulness, I knew that since Chatwing was casting as Goku, no Krilling, Goku in school, etc
Yes, is not that familiar with DB series, that is a good thing tough, is not Toriyama, is Wong and Fox vision.
We still have the manga and DB kai anime is comming, without fillers.
Eh both the opening credits and a majority of ending credits were cut off which counts to a movies runtime you know and both can run around 3 to 4 minutes themselves so that's about 8 minutes there so about half of that missing time was just credits.So eh if you think a person can't make a good judgment on a film just because they missed maybe 8 minutes of more crappy plot and bad acting then whatever.
Anyways the movie was terrible not a single redeeming feature about it.
Bad acting - Check
Terrible plot - Check
Generic Effects - Check
Bad choreography and bad wire fu - Check
Crappy runtime even with the missing time - Check
Not only a bad Dragonball movie but a bad movie in general.Apparently Japan agrees as its dropping like rock there.
It what you said is true, then you are right, no doubt the movie is bad with or without 8 more minutes
I just saying that in a big screen, the sound, music and effects are perceive better, and IMO those are the strenght of this movie.
I am dispointed of this movie, i expect more, yet is not the worst movie i have seen IMO; i am not defending it, but the guys of IMBD for example has a review sistem from 0 to 10, and many are voting for 0, and from a bootleg, that is not objetive, if this movie is 1/10 or 0/10, then this is the worst movie ever, meet the spartan, Date movie,etc are a masterpiece compare to this.
I just think many of the reviews are unfair, and the experience in cinema is diferent than a small screen

Even the fight scenes are terrible?
Fox only invest 45 millions according to papers in Chile, to check the market, and to invest more in DBZ sequels

This explain why only 88 minutes of movie were made.
