Can You Kame Ha Me Ha?




To those who grew up living on "Mutiara Naga" or "Dragon Ball" (DB) , you will be insulted.

I was agitated. It didn't regale me at all with the tales of Sainya (there weren't any) and bloody hell, no Krullin?! Not even the blond boobshell?!

I was kidnapped to watch this F-graded movie by my Dad.


Stephen Chow. What have you done?!! From what I've heard, you're a big fan of the series but do you think that Akira Toriyama will rest in peach hearing someone else poured dirt at his flair?!

You wanna know what I think?!

IT WAS FULL OF SHIT, like literally.

First things first, Goku goes to high school? He celebrates his birthday with gramps?! And the "Chi Chi" arc?! Wtf. Goku was a pseudo-annoying-flirt at the beginning of the story. PLUS, he holds anger over some people making fun of him??!!! I DON'T REMEMBER THAT TRAIT ON GOKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secondly. Chi Chi's a bimbo. (Though she'll show up with her martial arts somewhere.) Has a boyfriend, likes Goku, blah blah. Holds parties . . . making her aboriginal past life seemed like a delusional image from my memory. +_+ . Oh. And she made out with Goku at a temple and . . there was a lot of romance shit in the movie. (Which shouldn't be there at all)

Thirdly. Bulma has a P.Hd. As if that couldn't shocked me more, she plans to use the 7 dragonballs to make an endless cycle of electricity. (She's that sory of chick) and wants to become prominent in the science world. Her gadget would be the gun, the "dragon ball energy detector" and of course, the classic bike of hers.

Yamcha, on the other hand is an Asian, BLOND, money-digger. His tongue was rude, with that whole catalonia crap and he doesn't practice self-defense. WTF. Where the hell's the hot Yamcha??!!! ART THOU LOCO, directora??!!!

. . .

. . . . . . .

And most of all. I couldn't accept how they've made the perverted Roshi into what he was in the movie. I couldn't bring myself to explain to all of you on how defiling was his character. . . *sobs* . It was so upsetting. And was it suppose to be a "Namaste" for a greeting at the temple??!!

Their Piccolo too was an antithesis compared to the Piccolo that we all knew. Good lord, PICCOLO could either be dumb or stupid as it looked like he swallowed a sock or mistook "The Mask"'s make up as his or the Green Goblin of "Spider-Man"'s. . .

Even Zac Bertschy of Anime News Network, originally disgusted at Otaku decrying the film via leaked set shots and trailers even before the movie was released, gave the movie an overall F grade, admitting that "The fans were right." Criticizing the films lack of explaining plot elements to its hackmead storyline and lackluster effort by the actors, he suggested that the film "Might be fun when you're hammered and surrounded by friends. Or suicidal, and need something to push you over the edge."
