He must have been pretty bored.

I don't know what the hell that was but I guess it was enjoyable?

Now THAT kind of attitude (namely, upbeat and hyper) is what I want to see in the movie.

It was actually pretty funny.

Did anybody else hear a woman laughing at his dive-roll at 1:21?

That was a bit strange... Enjoyable, but strange...

I was thinking that now that Fox has some power over Watchmen, we might get the final trailer on that. Makes sense considering Watchmen will most likely be a huge hit, well, at least for a Rated R film.

The length of the movie is 90 minutes.

We definitely know it's not on Namek, then.

Too bad that zero can't be removed. The movie would be better were it a tad shorter.

Let's all remember to add valuable and worthwhile commentary when we post. Thanks!

Regarding the movie length (and I'll have a lot more to say about it when I eventually get talking about the junior novel, probably two podcasts from now), that makes a lot of sense based on what I've read and know. Any longer than that, and it would seem like useless and extraneous padding. I'd rather it be concise and on the "shorter" end of the feature-length spectrum.

Especially if it ends up being terrible, we're talking approximately the same length of The Legend of Chun-Li (96 minutes), which is around the length of time tolerable before bad things start to happen.

Ignoring whether it's "good" or "bad", for a movie of this kind, that's probably a good run-time for it to get in, say and do what it needs to, and get outta there.

Agreed. I guess the last thing a DragonBall movie needs is any useless dragging.

The animated movies were incredibly short but they still felt like they dragged.

JAPPO, we don't insult Dragon Ball Evolution, so please return the favor and don't insult the anime movies. Thanks.

The only movies I've watched are The Dead Zone and the first Broli movie, neither of which felt as though they dragged. Though, it's a shame that Chichi hardly appears in any of the movies past the first few minutes. She's one of the best characters.

And I assume the movie will be divided up as such?

First 15 minutes: High school
Next 25 minutes: Training with Master Roshi
Next 30 minutes: Search for the Dragon Balls
Next 15 minutes: The final battle against Piccolo
Last 5 minutes: The ending

That's a lie. And it's just my opinion.

Yeah, 3 movies about Brolly in which all that happens is he screams "Kakarot!" and eventually after a battle they kill him with nothing else going on... that doesn't feel like it's dragging at all.

First 15 minutes: High school
Next 25 minutes: Training with Master Roshi
Next 30 minutes: Search for the Dragon Balls

That could be.

Does anybody have a clue as to what that was all about?

"Look at me! I'm Justin Chatwin! I'm an actor! Hire me for movies!"

Seems like a mocking of an actual 'professional' demo reel if you ask me. All in good fun though of course.

Oh yes, that seems to be one of the video's primary purposes, too.

Justin Chatwin seems like a pretty fun guy. Hopefully he'll have brought as much of that personality as possible to his performance as Goku.

There are so many things wrong with this, that if those things were minutes, they would make the anime's Freeza Saga.

Regarding the video, maybe my definition of the term has been wrong, but how is that a demo reel?
