Seconded.
Those commercials make it look like ... I dunno ... a typical Hollywood action movie. Oh, wait.

"(Insert name here) was just an ordinary kid, until..." seems so cliche with American movies. I don't think it even fits to well in this commercial.

Yes, it was made from a Japanese property but it was made by an American movie studio etc., so you should not be shocked if it… guess what looks American, clichéd or not.
The Saiyans are very much like the Klingons and Jem'Hadar.

I can't remember: Did Piccolo tell Goku he was a Saiyan in the movie?

He told him he was Oozaru, but I do not remember the words "Saiyan" anywhere.

I'm seeing a lot of comments that seem to border on "worst ever" here, it makes me wonder, how much cinema and film have the majority of the people here seen?
I'm not ready for this.

After sitting through countless parody movies like "Date Movie" and "Disaster Movie" (not by choice) it's hard to say "worst movie ever" to anything else.
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

For the same reason I own a copy of just about every Uwe Boll film released in English: For the Lulz at how bad it is.

And with this lion's heart I will be watching DragonBall Evolution on April 10 ('cause I don't like watching movies on work days).

When I said "
they", I meant the Dragonball Wikia. And he had posted a link to the review that the wikia used.

To clarify, I was referring to DBE's
wikipedia page... not Dragonball's
wikia...
That is all.
