and surprisingly enough...it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Here's some things I liked and didn't like about it (spoiler free since it's not out in the US yet...but I will tag em anyway just in case):

Likes:
While there were tons of changes (see below), it wasn't nearly as bad as many of the video game movies (See: Anything directed by Paul W.S. Anderson or Uwe Boll)
Even though there's a lot of stuff wrong with it, there is still enough entertainment value to watch the whole thing. Kinda like a train wreck.
It wasn't D-War...god that movie is such a shit pile

Dislikes:
A lot of the changes made are completely ridiculous and make no sense whatsoever.
Some of the minor key characteristics of the main characters were kept while some really important ones were left out.
A few scenes serve no real purpose.
It's not very graphic.
There are some really big holes in the storyline.
Some of the special effects were pretty good...but some of them were god-awful.
The casting is atrocious and the acting is mediocre at best.
Bulma never gets naked :P

I give it a 4/10 (although if it weren't Dragonball it would be about a 5.5 or a 6)

*MODS: I didn't feel like this was in-depth enough to put into the Reviews section (plus I didn't see anything about movies there). Feel free to toss it in there*
