LISTEN UP EVERYONE!
Enough is Enough with improper casting! Enough with the WHITE Male playing an Asian dude! What makes it worse, is that they decide to cast a f&ckn Asian ***** to play the romantic role! Once again…racism at its worse…. I cannot understand why the mainstream north american media insists on portraying Asian women as some sexual, muted object and REFUSE to cast Asian male actors. THIS IS NOT A CONSPIRACY. DO NOT ACCEPT THE “NORM” THAT THE MEDIA IS TRYING TO SELL. BOYCOT THIS FILM. ITS SUCKS A*SS!

UMM… I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT THIS GUY DOESN’T SEEM AS MUSCULAR AS THE CARTOON FIGURE….
NOT TOO APPEALING TO ME…

why are white people playing this -.-

StUpID!!! anime is…

I think it’s gonna be the worst movie of 2009, it will win a razzie awards. ^^ James Marsters has signed up for 2 other Dragonball… producers are optimistic :D but I’m not convinced !

Do not want.

This movie is going to bomb. The DBZ franchise can do anything *but live action.

stephaniiieee @ 05/17/2008 at 5:00 pm

OK FIRST OF ALL GOKU IS NOT ASIAN!

ALRIGHT!

HES AN ALIEN!
HELLO HES A SAIYAN!!!.

IF YOU WERE A REAL FAN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT.

WHO GIVES A CRAP IF JUSTIN CHATWIN IS “WHITE”.
YOU HAVENT EVEN SEEN THE MOVIE YET!

ITS CALLED DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!.

GET OVER IT!
THE MOVIE IS COMING OUT ANYWAY.

GO TAKE YOUR COMPLAINING SOMEWHERE ELSE.

IF YOU DONT WANT TO WATCH THE MOVIE THEN DONT!
DONT RUIN IT FOR THE REST OF US.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this is not right turning good

anime into a crappy B rated movie. For the last time it cant be done.

I’ve seen good cosplay and it looks like crap.

p.s. i swear on my god if they do the same thing with naruto i will come up

and beat the living daylight out of the sponsers

I guess the movie will be very good! tks x pictures jj

NO WAY they’re going forward with that air choice!! What a disgrace!!
Who’s casting this **** son!?!?!

Not goin to watch. its Going to SUCK Major A$$. don’t air this movie. the cartoon is a legend in itself. don’t ruin its image by creating a motion picture. the actors are great and cartoon is the best but lets just leave it at that. no need to make a motion picture.

FREE tIBET, you idiot.. goku is an ALIEN. it doesnt matter if an asian or a white person plays him.

hi justine iam happy to u bcoz ur acting 2good and u perfect for this cherector and please do hardwork for this cherctor GOKU he’s best hero for me then SUPERMAN, BATMAN etc.

i could not agree more with stephaniiieee! just from the pictures i am optimistic! And everyone is complaining about Justin Chatwin not being jacked, Goku was not jacked in Dragon ball! and since this movie takes place right before Dragon Ball Z i think he is perfect build for the role. And on a side note if every charecter was japenese this movie would definetly tank. Cause no one in America except for Dragon Ball fans would go and see it and since they are targeting a larger demographic they need to get actors that people will enjoy seeing on the big screen. Now Justin Chatwin might not be the biggest name in Hollywood, but i guarentee him being in it brings the movie a bigger crowd than any unknown Japanese actor could. At the end of the day this movie is going to have incredible action scenes powered up Charecters, and a bad ass Fight between Goku and Picolo. So i for one am excited for this movie. And if you guys were real Dragon Ball fans you wouldnt waste your time bad mouthing the movie and saying you wont go and see it. You should be saying how reguardless of what idiotic notion you have of this movie you have yet to see a trailer for, You will go and support your beloved dragon ball because thats what a real fan would do.

This is gana kick ass. Justin Is my Favorite Actor. He Ruled in the invisible i cant wait to see his acting in y fav anime series as the lead role. Ann all you other people who say this is gana suck…you must not have a real appreation for the anime series…its been alot of peoples dream to see a live action movie of DBZ its the most popular anime series ever….andif im not mistaken it was the first *** anime ever released in america on toonami. anywayz justin Chatwin is perfet for this role i cant wait and the best part is the relese date is on my Birthday April 8th .

Can’t believe there are still guys trying to defend this crappy casting by denying that Saiyan are anything BUT caucasian.
As for all this white supremism, no wonder all the asians are so mad they’re boycotting this
