THEY SAY
Dragonball is adapted from the manga created by
Akira Toriyama; the work was also turned into a Japanese anime series that
played all over the world. It tells the story of an alien sent to destroy
Earth, who has a change of heart and decides to join the humans in their
fight against various aliens and bad guys. Justin Chatwin is starring as
the hero Goku, while James Marsters will play the villain Piccolo in the
sci-fi adventure.
WE SAY
A live-action movie version of the Dragonball Z
TV series/comic book? Either it's a case of too late or short-term
nostalgia for an accelerated culture. After all, the Dragonball Z
fad was at its height in 1999-2003 and it now seems kinda late to cash in
on it. Whatever. Anyway, die-hard fans apparently aren't too keen on
a live-action Hollywood version and non-fans probably wouldn't be
bothered. From what we've seen thus far it all looks wondrously cheesy by
the way.
