Complete comic book like madness, combining the Manga style with the Matrix film approach... lots of special effects and really well made.
In Korean and Japanese tradition it had to be at school where a fight breaks between rival groups and teachers. All Dragon Ball moves are there. The makers of this film must not be afraid of comparisons because we do not laugh at the effects, we laugh at the comedy that's always present during the movie.
Not trying to be serious it makes fun of the genre and respects and pays tribute to its origins at the same time. If you like the comic books you have to see this movie.
