Pffft... So you're implying that only white people are good at acting? There are great actors of every race. Hollywood just never bothers to look because they still believe, in this day and age, that white people only want to see a movie with white people in the main roles. Trust me. Either you haven't seen enough movies with people of color in the main roles (obligatory token roles do not count), or you're just one of those people that Hollywood caters to.The Forbidden Kingdom is a great example of how Hollywood believes that even the two biggest martial arts movie stars (Jackie Chan and Jet Li) could NOT sell a movie without a white guy being in the main role. They made what could've been the most epic martial arts collaboration in history into an epic fail.
Being that the series is on Nickelodeon, I haven't watched it. Is it comparable to anime geared towards older people? because we all know DBZ doesn't cut the mustard as acceptable anime.
Dragonball Evolutionseriously though how are movies this bad allowed to be put into theatres they knew it would tank and of course it did! Streetfighter and Dragonball both were just horrible!
why did Dragonball Evolution had to suck so much :( .... I mean I know why it did but whyyyyy did it have too seriously makes me want to cry I want a good dragonball movie!

Possibly "The Legend of Aang," as the animated series was sub-titled in the UK?

But what do y'all think about the pick to play Iroh? Iroh = my favorite, but Shaun Toub... he's so thin!

The Sixth Sense, Signs, and Lady in the water were all good in my opinion. I have high hopes for this movie.
