Somehow Tony Hawk got grafted into the Dragonball movie promotions. :/
This is the typical thoughtless garbage that deludes the minds of countless unsuspecting children and deforms their perspective on life.
It's the standard Hollywood bullshit storyline:
-He gets picked on by some bullshit unrealistic "jocks". This helps reinforce poor discernment skills in real life and teaches children to stop thinking and start stereotyping.
-He sees a girl he likes and the movie proceeds to treat her like a trophy rather than a person. Millions of little boys who watch the movie proceed to spend the rest of their lives looking at women in just the same way.
-He discovers his imba strength. Millions of little boys spend their lives waiting for their strength to suddenly blossom rather than learning to gradually overcome their weaknesses through hard work and diligence.
-He one-ups the "jocks" by acting like a total dick and flaunting his power. Millions of little boys proceed to begin acting like arrogant weakling shit and conclude that anyone that shows an ounce of manhood is one of the "bad guys" in the movie of life.
-The trophy sees Goku acting like a dick and makes the faulty conclusion he actually has one. Millions of little unattractive boys who's only hope at a woman is their personality are ruined when they are taught to try and act cool in front of the girl they like rather than simply being themselves.
I know the Disney channel is a thorn in humanity's side but I really thought the rest of society might be advancing just a little bit and at the very least changing if not improving. Oh well >.<

And it totally misses his character. Goku has a childlike innocence, and is very naive, which made for some super hilarious moments in both Dragonball, and Z . Even when he was an adult he was still like that. Remember when he and Piccolo were trying to learn how to drive? ;D
Making him fight jocks and stuff is really really stupid.

Well I have seen the movie,and it not so bad. Yes it not based on the manga to much, but it still has that Dragonball feeling.
Also the women that plays Chi-Chi in the movie is a old school fan of Dragonball, so you can see that trying her best to save it.

I watched bits and pieces of it when my (idiot) brother streamed it and watched in on my PS3.....and from what I saw, I wanted to gouge my eyes out. How he managed to watch the whole thing still amazes me.

While we are on the topic of Chi Chi, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO HER!? isnt she supposed to be really good at martial arts and have that crazy fucking armor with the blade on the helmet that she tends to chuck at people? this is SUPPOSED to be the original Dragonball, right?
