I don't watch Dragon Ball any more, but I remember when I was 13 and I would run home from school and watch my week day 5pm cartoons on Toonami. Dragon Ball was one of them and I loved it. So its ashamed that this movies made a bland attempt to destroy childhoods.

It was quoted as having a $120 million dollar budget, but it mysteriously shrunk to $45 million after it began to bomb from one region of the world to the next. Fox did the same thing to save face when Catwoman bombed a few years ago.

If the budget was 100 mill, it's well on its way to being one of the biggest box office flops of all time. I knew it'd flop hard, but that's pretty nasty.

This movie is a shame, they never learn... Listen to me, in further years they probably will try a powerpuff girls movie with real people, or maybe a spongebob one? People are getting stupid and stupid... Sad but true.

Yay! *busts out champagne*, I'm glad it did bad and maybe this will teach them a lesson. Hollywood doesn't need anymore reasons to be lazy and milking franchises is one of the worst things they can do. As long as any possibility of a sequel is crushed ill be happy.

has a 3.1/10 on imdb :?

Apparently it fails because of the reason that hollywood took it and tried making it like a....hollywood flick. Why the hell would they do such a thing?

The anime to live action movies done in Japan aren't much better, truth be known. They always end up looking like a cheap adaptation used as a vehicle for a J-Pop star. It would be nice to see one of these things made for the purpose of bringing the anime to life and not to further some ulterior motive. I'm saying this both for American and Japanese studios.

Has made $25 million non-U.S. so far.

More proof that Fox revised the budget numbers to save face because it really does look like this movie is only going to make around $50 - $60 million worldwide.

I hope Fox isn't a publically traded company with them pulling stunts like that.

Yeah, my friends and I went to see it thinking it would be hilariously bad, and for the first 30 minutes or so it was funny. Then it just got bad. It is actually worse than Ultraviolet (which before this was the worst major film I have seen)

BWAHAHAHAHA!!

I can see the box offic headline now,

HANNAH MONTANA BEATS DRAGONBALL!

So pathetic.

Serves Fox and Hollywood right. They put crap in and guess what the result is going to be?

Too bad that $100 million could of gone to a greater cause especially during these harsh economic times.

Sad thing is Hollwood will still keep on pumping out these *beep* movies, they are like drug attics, they don't know when to stop.

I saw it, I honestly thought it was one of the absolute worst movies I've ever seen. I couldn't believe how crappy it was. To the Dragon Ball fans across the world, it honestly didn't feel like a Dragon Ball movie. It was just a total mess, but easily a huge disgrace to the series. The director of the movie should feel ashamed of what he put on screen. The most random scene was Goku imagining Chi-Chi licking a strawberry or how awkward he talks to her while he quietly stalks her. Man, I hated that movie. I wish I didn't see it....

Seriously, how did the director film this thing and possibly think, "I'm gonna make a profit... "
