All the training Marsters and Chatwin did. All that time spent getting into that green make-up. I really don't blame either for the poor interpretaion of their character. For Chatwin the script pretty much forced him to play his Goku as a depressed, horny, teenager with low self-esteem. It's hard to put much Goku into that. but at times he did show a glimmer of the guy we love. And some of Piccolo's lines were delivered quite well. I say it's a shame because there are some people who will get undeserved flack and disrespect. So did it deserve to be a success? Not really. But I do believe some of the actors deserved a chance to be in a good movie. I think if it were a modest success with universally terrible reviews, the studio might have made some changes to make it respectable. It's also a shame because of the way this will be perceived. This won't be seen as a poorly written, directed, funded, and promoted movie that had the potential to be something spectacular. People will just look back and say "See. Making a live action version of Dragonball was a bad idea." For years people talked about how it could never be done and was so stupid. I wanted it to be good not only for us fans, but to prove all the nay-sayers wrong. Now I don't know if we'll ever get another chance. Let's think about other rebooted franchises. Batman and Robin made $338.21 million. The Hulk made $245.36 million. Those movies made money even if people hated them. I kind of wish Dragonball turned out like The Hulk.
