Kappei is pretty well known, huh? But my highlight of the voice actors is Aya Hirano. 
It would've been funny, but inappropriate for the anime voice overs to do it. 
Can you imagine Goku's voice over Chatwin's mug?

New trailer:
You know, to be perfectly honest... I'm starting to warm up to this movie. Some things do look pretty lame(still angry about no Krillin), but I think it could have redeeming qualities and overall be a pretty fun eye candy film. But I'm still keeping expectations low, so there's no way I'll be disappointed.

The visual effects will get to you first. It will make you say "awesome" at that moment. But when you watching the movie, the negativity will start.
The only thing is that the girl who is playing Bulma is hot.

Akira Toriyama Comments on Live-Action Dragonball Film!!!!
Source.
Honestly, I think this movie will be hilarious! I look forward to watching it~
QUOTE
The Oricon entertainment news source posted a promotional video for James Wong and 20th Century Fox's live-action adaptation of Akira Toriyama's Dragonball manga, and Toriyama prefaced the video with a written comment:
As the original creator, I had a feeling of "Huh?" upon seeing the screenplay and the character designs, but the director, all the actors, the staff, and the rest are nothing but "ultra" high-caliber people. Maybe the right way for me and all the fans to appreciate it is as a New Dragonball of a different dimension. Perhaps, this might become a great masterpiece of power! Hey, I look forward to it!!

Older videos but they're not posted yet:
Doesn't hold a candle to this version of the fight:
Is it just me or did Joon Park sound almost like Chris Sabat's Yamcha?
Meh. The unleashed trailer certainly makes it look more exciting than previously thought... but still unimpressed. As with any film with any buzz (good or bad), I'll hold my final verdict until I've seen it. I'll be going in as Toriyama describes the experience should be: Dragonball Evolution is another Universe, just like GT was. Toriyama probably said the same thing about GT.

hmm.... If they could pull it off decently, there is A HIGH possibility of a Live-action Naruto. (Who wouldn't to see him go Kyuubi with GOD AWESOME Visual effects?) BTW, I sort of wished they had Goku unexpectedly go Super Saiyan. It'd be cool

No NO NO! NO!!!! - SSJ - no....b/c A) He is still a teen B) Grandpa Gohan is still alive. You see the problems? I see problems everywhere...*sigh* This movie is goin to shake the anime/live action transfer, in a bad way.
Naruto Live action.....It would be cool to see Kyuubi but they would mess it up and make it so he looked not as bad ass as he is suppose to be
To some I am a Fallen Angel, to others I am the demon of oblivion, I guess the lies are finally found, What will you be on judgement day?
Life is short so best to know what you are capable of. Enjoy the Ride of life and yet keep a close eye on everyone around you. because one day, they could be your saving angel.

I think people are going to think this is a DragonBall Z live action, and will be utterly disappointed.
But, I think if they thought of it as just DragonBall... then it might do good on the movies.

The acting in those clips is really forced...like, when Goku goes into a fighting stance, it looks more like he's trying to look cool than actually fighting. At least Piccolo and Yamcha seem okay. The movie comes out in Japan and Hong Kong tomorrow, so I might see it this weekend.

Well...so far the universal opinion is that this movie's suckiness is definitely over 9000. Probably a million.
Here's Spill.com's audio review here
I like how even though the two people who reviewed the movie are not familiar with the franchise, they actually sympathize with the fans and accused Fox of doing them a great disservice, instead of shouting "I don't know what you f*****s see in this bull****.
My favorite part was when Co-Host mentioned the one good thing about the movie was Jamie Chung, and mouthed his opinion of her in one word: Breasts. What he doesn't know is that the name Chi-Chi means breasts

Yeah I have been hearing a lot of bad reviews on it including the one from spill. It didn't come to my theater but I don't know if I would have wanted to see it anyways.
