Review: I remember watching the animated TV-series Dragon Ball as a kid and liking it. The idea of filming nowadays a live version of it nowadays with an almost full american cast seems odd. Some asian characters are kept here and there. The movie is acceptable if you don't take it seriously or look too much for what you liked in the series. It is funny enough to see the same character names and general storyline. The fights are OK and the morale is the usual good guys vs. bad guys, learn to master your fear, be yourself...
